hi Tobias, here I had a doubt that this is right. the total timestamp should cover at least a day, which with 40 MHz means that we should be using a 64 bit range number.

how much space do we have for the pixel info encoding? is it all 64 bit?

moreover the _time is declared as short and here converted to a float, why?
