As Sakari finally told, - More vertical blanking -> less rolling shutter effect (ie. less slanted image) and more time to do some processing between frames if wanted or needed - More horizontal blanking -> smoother data rate, especially if there are buffers which can contain just couple of lines I would say that generally vertical blanking is preferred unless there are small buffers which allow required decrease in data rate for later stages in image processing pipeline with larger horizontal blanking. - Tuukka --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Finland Oy Registered Address: PL 281, 00181 Helsinki Business Identity Code: 0357606 - 4 Domiciled in Helsinki This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
