This application allows two Aptina Imaging Demo cameras to be simultaneously displayed side-by-side. It is useful for comparing differences in equal sized sensors, although dissimilar sensors may also be used together. Synchronous control of both images is provided for panning, zooming and play-state.
Side-by-Side can be launched via the desk-top shortcut.
