| |
| 1.6 How to remove the coaxial cable from FAKRA plug? |
| |
| Care need to be taken while removing the coaxial cable from the PCB. The FAKRA jack on coaxial cable locks with mechanical key of the FAKRA plug on board. The lock between plug and jack needs to be released, to remove the cable. On pressing the jack at the specified location, the knob lifts and the cable can be removed. The following figure shows the stag-es of removing FAKRA jack (coaxial cable) from PCB. |

| |
| 1.15 Why I am not getting 30 fps in synchronous mode, when running the emulticam applica-tion? |
| |
| Please make sure that you are using HD+, FHD or 4K display monitors. Due to resizing issue, the desired frame rate may not be achieved in smaller resolution monitors. |
| |
| 1.16 What are the conditions need to be followed when writing own application to get synchro-nized frames from all the cameras? |
| |
You must make sure the following points when writing own application to get syn-chronized frames from all the cameras:
- Run the following v4l2-ctl command from the package v4l-utils to set the cameras in Slave Mode.
$ v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX -c frame_sync_mode=1
Where <X> denotes the camera node. These commands should be executed for all the available camera nodes.
- If same exposure is set to all cameras, the frames will be in sync and readout timestamp will be same as long as exposure value is maintained below the frame time.
- For scenarios where it is needed to set different exposure to different cameras, the readout timestamp may vary between cameras, but frames will be in sync as long as the exposure value is maintained below frame time.
