 The examples in libunicap are very useful for debugging, such as device_info, raw_image and sdl_display. There is also an OpenCV example here.
+===Getting debayering working in coriander===
+  - In services tab again, in Format select 'Format_1, Mode_5:1024x768 Mono 8bpp'
+  - In options click Nearest and GBRG
+  - In Trigger you should be able to select 30fps
+You can also get OpenCV to read from this mode, but it will get the raw image directly. This is where we might need a debayer algorithm. The caminfo for OpenCV I used was as follows (I think Marek has a better way):
+<code>
+static struct caminfo cameras[] =
+{
+   {
+      handle:            NULL,
+      device_identifier: "Imaging Source DFx 31AF03-Z 1940800048",

+      window:            "Camera 1",
+      image:             NULL,
+      properties:        camera0_properties,
+      property_count:    sizeof( camera0_properties ) / sizeof( unicap_property_t ),
