CR-N300 (or X300) RAW output

[steezeman]

I'm using this camera in an application that needs as much resolution as possible. Is there a way to extract RAW video from the camera at a resolution greater than 4K? I would also like to skip the encoding stage if possible, since I am using it in a low-latency application and need maximum speed. I could decode H.264/265, but I would rather skip that stage altogether since the camera will be co-mounted with an NVIDIA Jetson computer. 

The specs say:

Total pixels: approx. 21.14 megapixels
Effective pixels: approx. 8.29 megapixels (3840 x 2160)

Are the extra pixels used for OIS?

Note that this is a user-level forum.  What you're describing here is building out a custom hardware setup.   You'll thus be better off finding a relevant forum that discusses building custom camera/cam hardware.

Ricky - I'm not asking for custom HW. My question is simply, is this a capability of the camera that is accessible to me, as a user.

As I mentioned, this is beyond what this forum can answer.
