Optimal timeout for video capture with asi cameras and sdk2

freestar8n

Hi-

I'm writing software to capture video from asi-1600 and asi-290 and I'm not clear on the optimal setting for the timeout when waiting for a frame. I tried exposure*2 and exposure*2+500 (ms) but it seems to work for some exposure lengths and not others.

I am using C++ and spawning a separate thread for capture as suggested, with ASIGetVideoData in the separate thread.

Thanks for any help-

Frank
