352x576, 352x288, 352x240, 320x240, and 320x180

In addition to scaling the resolution, the camera is also capable of scaling down the frame rate to save
bandwidth. Each channel can select from full frame rate, half frame rate, quarter or sixth frame rate.
For example, it is possible to configure a primary stream of 1920x1080 at 60 fps simultaneously with a
secondary stream at 480p at 10 fps.

The maximum performance for two channels is two 1080p60 streams.
