PCI 1422 how to aquire 12 RGB

Question

Hello,
I an using a PCI 1422 with a non standard camera signal (12 bit RGB).
At the monemt i am able to capture the signal
in 12 bit black and white.
What must be done that i can capture the signal in RGB
(4 bit each color)
If i use 24 bit color depth the the signal will be dislayed in color, but all blue colors are missing.
How are the colors (24 bit) stored in the memory if i use a PCI 1422 wich has only 16 data bus?
What does the binaray threashold value in the camera file mean?

I can see a couple of possible solutions.
One would be creating a custom cable that separates the 4 bits for each color into separate bytes, with 4 blank bits for each color. This could be input as 24 bit color perhaps. You might need to be using the PCI-1424, though, to get a full 24 bits input.
A second option might be to do the same thing in software. I am not sure if the ICD file has the flexibility to rearrange the bits like this.
