+/* An exposure value of 4 also works (3 does not) but then we need to lower
+ the compression balance setting when in 352x288 mode, otherwise the usb
+ bandwidth is not enough and packets get dropped resulting in corrupt
+ frames. The problem with this is that when the compression balance gets
+ lowered below 0x80, the pac207 starts using a different compression
+ algorithm for some lines, these lines get prefixed with a 0x2dd2 prefix
+ and currently we do not know how to decompress these lines, so for now
+ we use a minimum exposure value of 5 */
