Can't use BayerRG8 pixel format with ADSpinnaker

[Jesse Hopkins via Tech-talk <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi folks,

 

I’m attempting to use a FLIR Blackfly BFS-PGE-23S6C camera with the ADSpinnaker EPICS support. Mostly I’ve been able to get it set up just fine. However, the only pixel formats that seem to work with the camera are Mono8, Mono16, and RGB8Packed. The trouble I’m running into is that RGB8Packed maxes out at 16 Hz frame rate. From testing with SpinView, I can see that if I use the BayerRG8 pixel format for the camera I can reach the expected maximum framerate of 41 Hz and get color images. However, when I try to set the BayerRG8 pixel format in the EPICS control I get the following error in the IOC:

 

2025/08/14 10:18:30.364 ADSpinnaker:grabImage: unsupported pixel format=0x4

 

And the acquisition does not collect images.

 

Anyone know what’s going on here?

 

As a note, I did try regenerating the camera xml, template and display screens using aravis and the python scripts but have the same issue. This is aravis 0.8.35 on Debian 12.

 

I’ve included the entire IOC startup output below, and attached a screenshot of the main MEDM window. This is using EPICS base 7.0.8. AreaDetector, ADCore, ADSupport, ADGenICam, and ADSpinnaker (along with a few other AD modules) are all freshly downloaded from their respective github repos last week, using the latest version in the master branch. The IOC is being built and run on Debian 12.

 

All the best.

- Jesse
