UTC-Referenced Absolute Event Timing in Metavision Studio/GUI
For my application, I need to reference event times to UTC with microsecond precision. In Metavision Studio, the .raw recording names are only given to the nearest 1 second and the events are referenced to the camera connect time (not the recording start

Bad x320 firmware? Driver development for Raspberry Pis
After a few weeks of playing around, our Genx320 can talk over i2c to a Raspberry Pi 5, but apparently not over MIPI/CSI2. This involved creating a device tree overlay, modifying the Linux drivers open sourced by Prophesee, patching v4l2 utils, compiling
About the IMX636 bias
I noticed in the documentation that for the IMX636 model, only bias_diff_on/off has an effect on its sensitivity. But in my tests, I found that bias_diff also had an impact. I want to know what the details should be.
