Why is there only 'Mono16' option as available pixel format for Oryx GIGE camera?

I am using videoinput command to capture data from an Orxy Gige camera. I want to capture 8-bit images at high speed (300 fps). But the only available pixel format is 'Mono16'. Is there anything I am missing?

I have already installed Gige support package for Matlab.

I have the same problem. Did you solved?

Yeah, I reached out to the FLIR technical support, they have an updated Matlab adaptor, not the generic Gige Vision add on. Installing their adaptor solved the problem.

Hi,

you are probably using the 'gige' adaptor.

To solve this problem, go to the FLIR Spinnaker support page FLIR Spinnaker support by Image Acquisition Toolbox - File Exchange - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com) and download the .zip file.

Move the .dll and .m files in the Matlab folder and run the Readme file (change the file path before).

After that, you can capture with the camera using the command

cam = videoinput ('mwspinnakerimaq')

where 'mwspinnakerimaq' is the AdaptorName.
