Dear tech-talk,

Using areaDetector, I have been trying to use the Bayer color mode with a Mako G507C camera at DLS, but to no avail.

When using either the Mono or RGB mode, I see an updated image on the ffmpegViewer screen, but not with Bayer mode.

I tried using the NDPluginColorConvert plugin; converting Bayer color mode to RGB1 (or even Mono) but this also causes the ffmpegViewer stream to stop.

Looking in the NDPluginColorConvert.cpp in ADCore/ADApp/pluginSrc, it depends on PVAPI to deal with debayering, and this was a library from Prosilica, which is a proprietary library, but not in ADCore anymore.

There is demosaicing function in OpenCV that can convert a bayer format to RGB.

My question is: could ADCore depend on OpenCV in order for the color convert plugin bayer feature to work?

If not, could we use the OpenCV method in a separate support module (we have one at DLS called adOpenCV)?

For info; I am using ADCore 2-6 and ffmpegServer 3-1

Cheers,
