Raw Depth Data Format

Question

I have retrieved raw depth data in depth stream. The frame depth image I get is a byte array of double image size. This suggests each pixel is an Unsigned _Int_16. But I don't know the detailed format of this UINT16, because some post said that there're only 11 bits showing the depth with some extra information in other bits. Does any body know the actual meaning of each bit in this UINT16. Thanks very much.
