Note: SW Release Applicability: This tutorial is applicable to modules in both NVIDIA DriveWorks and NVIDIA DRIVE Software releases.

The camera sensor provides two timestamp options depending on sensor type. These options can be toggled using the output-timestamp sensor parameter, and work by modifying the timestamp_us returned when reading a camera frame. The following table summarizes the timestamp options available for each supported camera protocol. The default option is host.

Note: this parameter does not modify raw data. For more information about this parameter, see Sensor Timestamping.

Protocol	output-timestamp	Notes
camera.gmsl	host
camera.usb	host
camera.client	host
camera.ip	host
	raw	Supersedes useSimTime=true
camera.virtual	host
	raw	If supported by protocol above
