Default Readout Order
By convention, the sensor core pixel array is shown with pixel (0,0) in the top right
corner (see Figure 4). This reflects the actual layout of the array on the die. Also, the first
pixel data read out of the sensor in default condition is that of pixel (16, 54).
When the sensor is imaging, the active surface of the sensor faces the scene as shown in
Figure 5. When the image is read out of the sensor, it is read one row at a time, with the
rows and columns sequenced as shown in Figure 6 on page 11.
