Description

NONE

MC_ColorMethod_NONE

The camera is monochrome.

RGB

MC_ColorMethod_RGB

The camera uses a coated sensor and an internal processor to reconstruct the full color information. The color information is available as three R, G, B video data streams.

Name	Identifier	Description
NONE	MC_ColorMethod_NONE	The camera is monochrome.
PRISM	MC_ColorMethod_PRISM	The camera uses a wavelength-separating prism to feed three distinct imaging sensors. The color information is available as three R, G, B video data streams.
TRILINEAR	MC_ColorMethod_TRILINEAR	The camera uses three parallel sensing linear arrays of pixels exhibiting different wavelength sensitivities. The color information is available as three R, G, B video data streams.
BAYER	MC_ColorMethod_BAYER	The camera uses a single imaging sensor coated with a special wavelength-separating patterned filter. The color information is available as a single video data stream embedding the RGB information.
RGB	MC_ColorMethod_RGB	The camera uses a coated sensor and an internal processor to reconstruct the full color information. The color information is available as three R, G, B video data streams.
