Correction. It turns out the 16 bits for dark area are ff0f indicating the
device is actually 12bit with the data having a 4 bit filler.

Thanks for all the replies. I used pypng finally which supports 12 (and
also 16) bit depth. Being in python it integrates directly with my pyusb
based driver.

[Writing a driver solved a major dependency that forced the use of
VirtualBox, Windows XP and a node locked license to a proprietary software
which meant even if I merely changed the VM I'd need to pay license fees
to get it to work.]
