This parameter declares the basic data path structure of the camera feeding the channel.

It thoroughly describes the way the sensor is read out, complementing information given by the TapStructure parameter.

The frame grabber has to be informed of the mapping of pixels onto the output channels in order to correctly re-arrange the data in the destination surface.
