Vuforia PC : Use HD Camera resolution

Hello,

I know there are a lot of topics about using HD camera resolution but they are targeting mobile devices where my app targets PC.

The demo here (Vuforia Standalone) confirms that there is a way to set a resolution up to 1080p (through the profile menu). However it doesn't seem that developers have the possibility to set custom resolutions through the Vuforia API. I already read some threads about developers who are in my situation where the app would be use for an art installation so we know the targeted device (PC here) but Vuforia limits the highest resolution at 720p. ​ By looking over threads on internet I was only able to change the resolution by modifying the "webcamprofiles" file. However it only works inside the unity editor and when I build my project for window 10, I haven't been able to find a way to use a FHD background texture. I could get the video through Vuforia.Image but  the resolution was floored to 720p and converting it into a 2DTexture (using the CopyToTexture or LoadRawTextureData function) is really expensive and does looks reliable only for screenshots and not for a constant FHD video texture update. ​ I was wondering if the source code for the "camera profile menu" of the standalone build demo is available somewhere ? And if there is a way that i missed allowing PC based Vuforia app to set custom camera resolution to 1080p?  ​ Thanks, Vincent
