Ok, thanks!

Just to make things clear: it will still not be a good solution for
firewire camera users
as images will still be unsynchronized. Only one process grabbing two
cameras will solve
this issue with high end firewire cameras such as the Flea2 which send
automatically synchronized frames
when the acquisition is done atomically.

Hopefully, adding the possibility to use camera1394 as nodelets may
help solving this problem in a clean way.
Is it still planned for DiamondBlack?


BTW for anybody interested, my synchronization node is available here:
