USB cameras show in Linux a few properties only

Authors list

The Linux V4L2 driver does not know all properties of The Imaging Source USB cameras. This is solved by installing the UVC Extension. Please refer to https://github.com/TheImagingSource/tiscamera/wiki/UVC-Extension-Units.


After installing the UVC Extension for V4L2 there are nearly all properties, but some Windows specific driver made properties like contrast and tone mapping are not available.
