# Control Protocols {#spec_control_api}

There are two control modes, one is through UVC standard protocol, the other is through UVC custom protocol with extension unit.

## Standard Protocol

| Name | Field | Bytes | Default | Min | Max | Stored | Flash Address | Note |
| :--- | :---- | :---- | :------ | :-- | :-- | :----- | :------------ | :--- |
| Gain | gain | 2 | 24 | 0 | 48 | √ | 0x12 | valid if manual-exposure |
| Brightness | brightness/exposure_time | 2 | 120 | 0 | 240 | √ | 0x14 | valid if manual-exposure |
| Contrast | contrast/black_level_calibration | 2 | 127 | 0 | 255 | √ | 0x10 | valid if manual-exposure |

## Custom Protocol
