Sorry if this is not correct category for this question.

I have a QHY5III-178M.  According to their web site (www.qhyccd.com/qhy5iii-178m-c/)  this camera the A/D is 14 bits per pixel.

When I record a SER video it only uses 8 bits per pixel.

Is this normal?  It the camera unable to stream video at 14 bits per pixel or is it an EKOS / Indi limitation?

Do I need to change a setting someplace?  

In the INDI properties for this camera it shows 16 bits per pixel and does not seem like it can be changed.

Does gain / offset have any effect when recording video?

What default values of gain and offset should I use as a starting point for both solar imaging and DSO imaging?

Thanks in advance for the help?
