Hello Andrey,

we tested the camera the way you described. Here are the answers.

What camera is it? Does it have 10359 board? 10369 board? What software is  it 
running ?

It's the 10353. I tried this with the original software that was on
the camera, with the software compiled from the sources and also with
modified sources (both FPGA and MC).


a) changing the image in front of the camera - you can check it by putting a 
mirror in front of the camera lens and  rotating the mirror

I do not get this?! What should this do? Doesn't have any influence if the 
camera and the cable are fixed.

b) shaking the camera itself (i.e. bad contact in the internal flex cable)  - 
you can turn the network cable around and tape it to the camera, sowhen you 
move the camera, nothing changes to the network connection

The distortion appears.

c) bad contact in the network cable- attach camera firmly to the table and move 
the network cable

This is what we think that causes the problem. When messing around
with the network cable in the jack at some positions the image
distorts and after moving it again, the image gets distorted in other
ways, also getting a normal image is possible again.

d)  it actually happens not because of the movement, but because of 
theelectrostatic discharge when you touch the camera

Shouldn't the case be electrostatic discharge proof? But without even
touching the camera (only moving the network cable) the image
distorts, I tried this with the camera attached on the tripod.


Regards,
Viatcheslav

Viatcheslav,

there is another possible reason to break the image when you move the camera d) it actually happens not because of the movement, but because of the electrostatic discharge when you touch the camera

Can you please try these?

    As for "moving the camera" as the reason for breaking the image -
    it can be one of the several reasons, you may narrow down the
    problem by making some testing:

    a) changing the image in front of the camera
     -  you can check it by putting a mirror in front of the camera
    lens and rotating the mirror

    b) shaking the camera itself (i.e. bad contact in the internal
    flex cable)
     - you can turn the network cable around and tape it to the
    camera, so when you move the camera, nothing changes to the
    network connection

    c) bad contact in the network cable
     - attach camera firmly to the table and move the network cable

        Hello,

        from the very beginning of the Kit's usage we've been facing
        image distortions. The defect, which at first we thought is
        software related, appears after several seconds of using the
        camera. The defect is reproducible by just moving the camera.
        I attached an image showing this image distortion effect. What
        could the problem and how to solve it?

        Regards,
        Viatcheslav
