This is not valid. You either want a subtype, a derived type ("new Int16"), or 
just a type ("is range").

This can just be

type Pixel_Data_Array is array (Pixel_Number) of Pixel_Data;

Normally, unless you're doing something where you need to match the HW, you 
should avoid types such as those implied by Int16 and Int32. Array indices are 
not such a case, so you'd probably be better off with

type Pixel_Number is range 1 .. Max_Num;

and

type Frame_Number is range 1 .. Frames_In_Buffer;
