Syntax
INT is_SetColorConverter (HIDS hCam, INT ColorMode, INT ConvertMode)
Description
Using is_SetColorConverter(), you can select the type of Bayer conversion for color cameras. Software conversion is done on the PC, while hardware conversion (USB 3 uEye CP/LE/ML) is done in the camera. The use of a larger filter mask results in a higher image quality, but increases the computational load. For further information, please refer to the Camera basics: Color filters chapter.
 |
Hardware conversion is only supported by USB 3 uEye CP/LE/ML cameras. uEye LE USB 3.1 Gen 1 does not support hardware debayering. |
 |
While free run mode is active, you cannot change the color conversion type. To do so, you must first stop the capturing process using is_StopLiveVideo() or set the camera to trigger mode (see is_SetExternalTrigger()). |
