Ok, I understand that. So I will have to wait until you can fix the bug.

Just to make sure that we speak of the same mode I will recapitulate it
here. Store the image of both sensors in the ddr-ram. Send a combined
frame to the 10353 board, where
the second image is right of the first. This solves a) the problem that
you can't figure out which frame corresponds to what sensor and b) it
also solves your timing problem I think. I'm not talking of any
geometric reconstruction.

Whats the reason for the unstable brightness and why do I have to enter
a size of +16px to get a vertically stable picture?

Thanks,
