Do you want to clip down to 104 x 120, or do you want to resize down to 104 x 120 ?

If you want to clip down then the easiest thing to do is set vid.ROIPosition to the offset and height and width you want.

If you want to resize down to 104 x 120, then although that is possible using a custom preview (by using imresize() on the input data and sending that to be displayed), I would be concerned about whether the system could keep up, so I would suggest a pass afterwards to resize each .jpg .
