Everybody seems to be doing great on this thread. I only have a few things to add. I've seen the camera timing get flaky when compression is set too high. I'm not sure where the threshold is or if it involves images size or is simply affected by compression factor. By flaky I mean that the image framerate will drop because some frames will take two periods to be sent.

Also, modifying the image and recompressing on the cRIO doesn't seem like a good use of CPU time. If you can find a single camera setting so that the image can be piped to the dashboard, that will have minimal impact on other tasks and will get the highest framerate to the dashboard.
