Most Logitech UVC cameras support the following formats in hardware: (See www.FOURCC.org – Video Codecs and Pixel Formats for an explanation of these image formats.) • Uncompressed YUY2 (also known as YUYV and YUV422) • Compressed MJPG (a.k.a. Motion-JPEG, M-JPEG, or MJPEG) On Linux both of these formats are natively supported by the Linux UVC driver. On Windows the available streaming formats are usually I420 and RGB24 when the camera is used with the Logitech UVC driver. With the Microsoft UVC driver built into Windows the native YUY2 and MJPG formats are exported instead. In addition to the formats described above, some Logitech UVC cameras allow streaming of Raw Bayer pattern video data. For more information on how to use this mode on Linux, please see the Raw streaming article.
