Hi Milton,
Is this a different file than the text file saved with the movies?
I'm not finding "camera display format"in the text file:

The depth and all the other settings used are stored in the Session Log File, which is created when you grab a frame or record a movie.
Check for the field "Camera Display Format" in the log file. It either says 8bit or 16bit and indicates what depth frame was grabbed or the movie was recorded at.
HTH..
