  /*

   * Yes, I know we could do this in one loop, but I wanted to prove here

   * that it's possible to have many native webcams open in the same time.

   * I tested this example with 4 webcams simultaneously connected to the

   * USB bus - 1 x PC embedded device, and 3 x UVC devices connected to

   * the USB concentration hub, which was connected to the USB 2.0 port.

   * It's working like a charm.

  // USB BANDWIDTH!

  /*

   * As you probably know the USB has limited bandwidth and therefore it

   * may not be possible to transfer images from as many cameras as you

   * would like to wish. This example works when I'm using QQVGA (176x144)

   * but fails with the error message when I want to fetch VGA (640x480).
