Sander,
I am not sure what you are saying. The video capture I saw on my computer looked exactly like the screen shots I uploaded, scaled or not. Did you download the actual 5 seconds video captures I uploaded later? It showed pretty bad Bayer Matrix artifacts in 10 bits mode ("HighSpeed").
I find the terminology "HighSpeed" very confusing and I am not sure if there are official FireCapture documentation stating what "HighSpeed" means. I am sure this information is written somewhere but I cannot find it and it may not be at FireCapture web site.
I think there may be some kind of bug in FireCapture thinking that my old ASI120MC-S was running in "HighSpeed" mode because it actally displayed twice the frame rate speed when in actuality it was not. Sam said the CMOS sensor in ASI120MC-S does not support 10 bit or "HighSpeed" mode and I believe him because the histogram showed absolutely no changes between "HighSpeed" mode enabled and disabled. Sam said "HighSpeed" mode only works with Sony CMOS sensors and ASI120MC-S does not use Sony CMOS sensor. This may not be FireCapture software fault probably because the camera never returned saying "I don't support 10 bits mode" so FireCapture assumed the camera was running in 10 bits.
You made a good point about the usefulness of "HighSpeed" mode for focusing but I think it's better for mono CMOS than OSC CMOS because mono CMOS wouldn't show ugly Bayer matrix offset running at 10 bits for OSC cameras.
Bottom line, I applaud FireCapture software developer for creating a fantastic video capture software. I do not blame them for somewhat lack of documentation because the software is free.
