419. This configuration is equivalent to a simpler CxpCamera operator with only O output and no meta data.
420. This configuration is equivalent to a simpler CxpCamera operator with port O and MetaDataO selected.
421. In this configuration only the tap 0 is output with its metadata. For the tap 1 only the metadata is output. This configuration can be useful for debugging a camera/frame grabber combination.
422. In this configuration the operator provides both camera taps as 2 separate data streams on its Tap0 and Tap1 ports. However, no metadata information is output.
423. In this configuration the operator provides both camera taps as 2 separate streams on its Tap0 and Tap1 ports. The operator provides also the meta information for the Tap0 port. This configuration might be meaningful for symmetrical camera tap configurations, where the CXP header is in most parts identical for both taps except for the TapG Code fields.
424. This is the maximal configuration of the operator, where for each tap an own output is presented together with its own metadata.
