Stream a 30 FPS HDR color video at 1280x720 (HD) in RGB565:

import csi
import time

csi0 = csi.CSI()
csi0.reset()
csi0.pixformat(csi.RGB565)
csi0.framesize(csi.HD)
clock = time.clock()

while True:
    clock.tick()
    img = csi0.snapshot()
    print(clock.fps())

Stream a 15 FPS HDR color video at 1920x1080 (FHD) in RGB565:

import csi
import time

csi0 = csi.CSI()
csi0.reset()
csi0.pixformat(csi.RGB565)
csi0.framesize(csi.FHD)
clock = time.clock()

while True:
    clock.tick()
    img = csi0.snapshot()
    print(clock.fps())

Stream a 5 FPS HDR color video at full 5MP — 2592x1944 (WQXGA2) — in RGB565:

csi0.pixformat(csi.RGB565)
csi0.framesize(csi.WQXGA2)
clock = time.clock()

while True:
