The driver converts many different camera-specific encodings to the common-used RGB8 for use in the ROS image pipeline.

That simplifies image processing of data from many different devices.

All supported ROS Image message encodings are defined in the sensor_msgs/image_encodings.h header.

EDIT: Since YUV422 is not a supported ROS Image format, there is no way for a ROS driver to produce Image messages in that format.

If you want to process the YUV422 image directly, you'll need to write your own program and not use ROS Image messages. If you decide to do that, I recommend the excellent libdc1394 for accessing the camera hardware.
