noise from long cables acting as antennae. Do not attach wires to unused pins. Verify that
the camera is not receiving spurious inputs (e.g. EXSYNC if camera is in exposure mode
that requires external signals).
Line Dropout, Bright Lines, or Incorrect Line Rate
Verify that the frequency of the internal sync is set correctly, or when the camera is set to
external sync that the EXSYNC signal supplied to the camera does not exceed the
camera's useable Line rate under the current operating conditions.
