Description:
If you use the official V1 camera (ov5647), V2 camera (IMX219), and the HQ camera (IMX477), you can just plug in the camera and play. If you use third-party cameras, the support camera size is as below and please use libcamera stack. You need to modify the config.txt file and add the configure line according to the camera type.
With this capability, device manufacturers can implement a monochrome or NIR camera device and reduce memory use by using the Y8 stream format. A monochrome camera can serve as the underlying physical camera of a logical multi-camera device to achieve better low-light noise characteristics
