Thank you for the confirmation! We will go ahead with the S model then.
I will check periodically what the status of support for uvc1.5 is and post it here when I can make the V model work. I assumed compatibility as well, but they dropped support for 1.1, which is my bad, I should have checked before.
I seriously doubt my boss will allow me to allocate time to develop the driver, but if it happens I will post the news here.
