APRIL 19, 2005 New Type Of Color Camera (Bayer) Usually the image data of 1CCD color cameras is interpolated. More and more users, however, prefer the use of 1CCD cameras that output the original color information. Such cameras are called "Bayer cameras" or "CR cameras" (CR = Color Raw). The advantages are: The camera transfers only 8 bit (instead of 24 bit) per pixel. The frame rate doubles. The image data is not distorted by interpolation.
