V4L2 configuration request #1

Description

@hseysen

Camera: Alvium 1800C-507c
Platform: Jetson Orin Nano Carrier board + Jetson Orin NX 16GB with SSD
NV Tegra Release: R36.3.0
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

I Installed the debian files without an issue, the steps provided in README.md allowed me to get the camera set up and I rebooted to be able to access the camera. I tried to see the camera's output with a simple GStreamer pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device="/dev/video0" ! xvimagesink

Here is the view of the camera. Considering it's a very sunny day, and the office was bright, the view should've been a lot brighter.
Default View

I believe that the V4L2 configuration is missing, I used the v4l2ucp tool to set the brightness to 400 and exposure to 600, and I achieved somewhat okay looking output. Are there any recommended V4L2 configurations available for this camera? Auto-exposure option is making the scene very bright for some reason. And there are other options for which I am not quite experienced to modify, that's why I'm asking for some help. Additionally, my approach of a simple GStreamer pipeline seems to give me a small warning:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
