Frequently Asked Question

By default, the displayed image in the Vision Point application is monochrome, regardless of the sensor type.
To display a color image, Debayer mode should be activated for a Bayer camera.

For RGB conversion, You should take the following steps:

1. Detect the camera
2. Open the "Frame Grabber" tab
3. Expand the "Extended Stream Features" category
4. Set the "Camera Selector x" parameter to the desired camera ("x" represents the camera index for which the Frame Grabber parameters will relay to)
5. Expand the "Camera Selector x" category
6. Expand the "Image Format Control" category
7. Change "Transformation Pixel Format" from "Normal" to the "RGBxx," while xx represents the bitness of the camera.
   Example: For the Bayer GR10 camera, set the "Transformation Pixel Format" to RGB10.
8. Debayer Mode can be set to one of the following options:
   - Hardware debayering - "Demosaic 3x3" (The availability of this feature depends on the hardware)
   - Software debayering - "Demosaic Software" (With reduces FPS)
9. Click on "Play" (the picture window will reopen)

For BGR conversion the following steps should be performed:

1. Perform steps 1-7 listed above
2. Set "Debayer Mode" to hardware debayering - "Demosaic 3x3"
3. Expand "Color Transformation Control" category
4. Set following parameters to 0.0
   "ColorTransformationRR"
   "ColorTransformationRG"
   "ColorTransformationR0"
   "ColorTransformationGR"
   "ColorTransformationGB"
   "ColorTransformationG0"
   "ColorTransformationBG"
   "ColorTransformationBB"
   "ColorTransformationB0"
5. Set following parameters to 1.0
   "ColorTransformationRB"
   "ColorTransformationGG"
   "ColorTransformationBR"
6. Click on "Play" (the picture window will reopen)

The image below describes the sequence of the steps in the Vision Point application.
