Hi all,

I am trying to build a synchronized multiple cameras capture.
I started with 2 Logitech QuickCam UltraVision USB webcams.

I have difficulties synchronizing them.

In my tests, I manage to extract the exact timestamp of each captured
frame. So then the synchronization can be made by sofware (comparing
timestamps). But I would prefer the cameras to be directly synchronized
at the source (shot on each camera is taken at the same time).

The only way I found to do that for the moment is starting the 2 cameras
at the same time (simultaneous call of VIDIOC_STREAMON for the 2 cams. I
use mmap method, USB isochronous transferts). Frames appear to be more
or less synchronized. However sometimes, the 2 cameras start totally
dephased.

Is there a way to be more precise in the image capture start?

Thanks in advance for any help!
