Only one camera can operate at a time.It's no different than an i2c mux. It's one at a time.
Take a look at the wikipedia. If you do "one at a time" at 100Hz, you can claim it is time-domain multiplex. But we are plain switching the cameras. It takes second (or so) to setup the pipeline. This is not multiplex. Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
