Note b:
To program the sensor in 4:2 Sub-sampling the HSub-
SamEn bit in the MCFG1 register should to be set to a
logic zero.

Note c:
To program the sensor in 2:1 Sub-sampling the HSub-
SamEn bit in the MCFG1 register should to be set to a
logic one.
Setting the HSubSamEn bit in the MCFG1 to a logic
one will switch on the horizontal sub-sampling, while
setting the VSubSamEn bit in the MCFG1 register will
switch on the vertical sub-sampling.
Sub-sampling cannot be used with interlace readout

When using horizontal sub-sampling Pclk is divided
by 2. The active time of Hsync is the same in sub-
sampled and non sub-sampled mode. Horizontal
sub-sampling does not increase frame rate.
