The frame sizes and intervals returned by the uvcvideo driver during enumeration come directly from the values advertised by the device. When you set a frame rate using VIDIOC_S_PARM, the driver then negotiates the value with the device, and returns the frame rate it received from the device to the application. The device is free to adjust the frame rate (based on current lightning conditions for instance, if auto-exposure is turned on). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
