Alison,

The web site states "Output format: 8/10 bit raw RBG data". In other words, 
the output of the Omnivision sensor is 8 or 10 bit Bayer. Each pixel is 
either 8 or 10 bits or green, blue, or red. The demosaic filter in the OMAP 
ISP is needed to convert this frame to YUV.

Also, the output format is independent of the layer 1 and layer 2 
connection between the sensor and host. Bayer format can be used with 
serial CSI2 as well as a parallel CPI connection.

Joe
