<para>This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 12 bits per pixel, but with
pixels from 2 sources interleaved and bit-packed. Each pixel is stored in a
24-bit word in the little-endian order. On a little-endian machine these pixels
can be deinterlaced using</para>

<para>pixels cross the byte boundary and have a ratio of 3 bytes for each

<para>This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 8 bits per pixel, but with

the R200 RealSense camera stores pixel from the left sensor in lower and from
the right sensor in the higher 8 bits.</para>

<para>This is a 16-bit format, representing depth data. Each pixel is a
distance to the respective point in the image coordinates. Distance unit can
vary and has to be negotiated with the device separately. Each pixel is stored
in a 16-bit word in the little endian byte order.
