Capture Mode schema (JSON)

The following structure is the schema for the definition of a capture mode.

The process controlling the capture sequences or modes, converts the capture mode defined in the JSON structure into control registers which are a low-level control of the sensor.

• Each frame is converted into a single control register object which is transferred to the sensor.
• The control register object may be transferred to the sensor using the DMI interface.
