Known issues
-------------------------------------------------------
  - Please use “alloc and announce” for best performance, see the AsynchrounousGrab example.
    (C++: Program.Config.h, optional parameter /x, C: Program.c, optional parameter /x, Python: 
    optional parameter /x). 
  - Switching the camera from GenICam for CSI-2 to V4L2 or vice versa requires rebooting the board
  - Exposure times greater than approx. 1 second: Stopping acquisition may cause an error. Please 
    close and open the camera to start streaming again.
  - Executing the Device Reset GenICam command leads to camera communication failures.
  - Not all ROIs work when Mono8 is applied.
  - When a ROI or a different pixel format is applied and the camera is closed and opened again, image 
    acquisition doesn’t start in some cases. To enable image acquisition again, open the camera with 
    Vimba Viewer (even if you set the ROI with a third-party viewer). In some cases, rebooting 
    the board is necessary.
  - Issues that may occur occasionally:
      - AGX Xavier: Camera stays in locked state after camera handle is closed
