I'm looking for a way to reach the raw data, not for debayering but to make an impression for how the sensor catches the image.
This was the reason for me to different between consumer products - make internal processing of the data and put only processed data - and industrial cameras, which normal deliver different formats for processing purposes.
consumer = get processed data in a common (maybe companyspecific) format (raw, jpeg, ...) and you take this on your vacaition
industrial = get data in a datastream (more or less preprocessed) for processing.
it my definition. Maybe i am wrong.
