Hey guys, so good news. With your support we are able to turn on both AWB and AE on both the IMX214 Sensor and the IMX377 sensor.
The IMX377 sensor is still more saturated than the other sensor. Please see the pictures below.
All settings are exactly the same for both the IMX 377 and IMX 214 sensors

Any thoughts?
We are using rosbag to record the video.
How exactly can we enable AE and AWB with voxl_cam_ros, found here https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cam-ros/
I was not aware this was something we can just turn on?
@Chad-Sweet @Alex-Kushleyev We are using voxl_cam_ros, found here https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-cam-ros/
We are running the camera at 1920x1440
Can we even "turn on" AWB when using voxl_cam_ros? As of now we have not found out how to do so.
Our team needs to continue with ROS, so we cannot switch to another framework.
Again, I want to thank both of you for helping with these questions.
@Chad-Sweet do you know if that algorithm works with ROS?
@Alex-Kushleyev
We are using ROS to test the cameras. Running it via voxl_cam_ros which does not have AE or AWB on by default.
Relating this back to my other issue, IMX377 M12 Sensor Over saturated on G channel found here, https://forum.modalai.com/topic/40/imx377-m12-sensor-over-saturated-on-g-channel?_=1604595984974
Maybe we are experiencing the saturation issue because of the ROS driver? But if that is the case, then why would the other two Hires sensors work just fine?
Let me know,
Bobby
Thank you for this input. I am slightly confused. This is an image from a video taken outdoors flight testing. 
Where as this second image is from the same day roughly 10 minutes apart using 4k High-resolution Sensor for VOXL (10x10x16mm).
Please excuse the under exposure, it was a cloudy day and we did not have the exposure set correctly.
Maybe this is not just a saturation issue? Let me know your thoughts.
Best,
Bobby

Hi Chad,
Both in an office space and when outside we have the same saturation issue.
Chad,
I appreciate the quick response!
I guess I do not understand why the sensor would be sold like this? What is the application of such an oversaturated sensor? If this would be easier to talk about over the phone, I would be open to a conversation.
We would like to use this sensor to test several different focal length Arducam lenses. Out of the three ModalAI Hires Sensors, this one allows the most flexibility with lenses.
Hello,
We have used all three of Modal AI's Hires sensors:
4k High-resolution Sensor for VOXL (10x10x16mm)
4k High-resolution Sensor for VOXL (8x8x5.8mm)
4k High-resolution Sensor for VOXL (IMX377 M12-style Lens)
All of these are plug-and-play, but the IMX377 sensor seems to be way more saturated on the green channel. We have two IMX377 sensors and both have the same saturation issue.
Has anyone else had this problem before/ know how to easily fix this?
Please let me know!

Does anyone have a simple auto exposure algorithm I can use for these?
