* **Output Format:** _"OpenEXR" or "PNG". When using OpenEXR, the depth value (in meters) is stored directly in each pixel. The PNG image will map the range of depth values to where a value of 255 corresponds to the value for "far clip"._
* **Far Clip:** _The maximum depth value (in meters). This distance corresponds to a pixel value of 255 in the PNG image. This has no effect on the OpenEXR output._
