[Elphel-support] Record full res and stream compressed at the same time?

[David McPike]

Hi Andrey,

Our use case would be one sensor per camera, running around 10-12fps,
recording video on local disk, and surface ROV pilot viewing streamed
images.  I would like to maximize image quality stored on disk, while
minimizing latency for images delivered to the surface on a limited
bandwidth network path.  Using a single fps is totally fine.

I can't recall our typical resoluition.  I don't feel like we ran the
camera at full resolution in the past, so I'll keep your input in mind and
try to finalize our requirements.

Thanks much!
