Choices are None, Left, and Right. + ShiftBits controls the number of bits to shift. Choices are 1-8. + This change allows complete control over how to shift Mono10, Mono12, and Mono16 pixel formats. + For example, FLIR cameras always left-shift Mono16 PixelFormat data so the most-significant bit + is in bit 15, and the data range is 0-65535, even if the ADC is only 10 or 12 bits. + In some cases it may be preferable to right-shift this data so that it only spans the + actual range of the ADC. + In the case of a 12-bit ADC this would be done with ShiftDir=Right and ShiftBits=4. + The data will then span the range 0-4095. + ### R2-1 (October 2, 2020) ---- * Added support for PixelFormat=Mono12Packed and Mono12p.
