Interface Sony cameras with MacBook

Hello, I am trying to connect a Sony FCB MA 130 camera with matlab to superimpose a circle. Here there is the code:

    % Create a video input object.
vid = videoinput('macvideo',2);
% Create a figure window. This example turns off the default
% toolbar, menubar, and figure numbering.
figure('Toolbar','none',...
       'Menubar', 'none',...
       'NumberTitle','Off',...
       'Name','My Preview Window');
% Create the image object in which you want to display 
% the video preview data. Make the size of the image
% object match the dimensions of the video frames.
vidRes = vid.VideoResolution;
nBands = vid.NumberOfBands;
hImage = image( ones(vidRes(2), vidRes(1), nBands) );
hold on
viscircles([1920/2 1080/2],10)
preview(vid, hImage);
  end

I'd like to change some parameters, such that brightness, focus and so on, but if I try to execute the following command:

 src = getselectedsource(vid);

No parameters are included in the answer;

Could someone help me?

I know that some manufacturers do not put as much work into the video USB drivers for Mac compared to Windows, so there are cases where settings are not available for Mac but are available for Windows.

However, when I research Sony FCB MA 130 I see that it does not have a USB interface: it just has pins. You would need to have mounted it onto a board with some kind of interface. Are you using a development kit of some kind?

I connect my sony camera with an appropriate board (CAT MA130), that has his own drivers, only windows-compatible.

Would you be able to post a link to the English specifications of the CAT MA130? I am only able to find one Japanese PDF for it.

It looks like that particular device has an I2C interface.

https://www.phase1vision.com/blog/usb-3-0-interface-for-sony-fcb-ma130-micro-camera claims to be an interface for that device with Mac drivers.
