Heat buildup
Heat buildup inside a system can wear down the system components and
decrease capture performance. If you will be capturing continuously for
hours at a time, make sure your system is fanned sufficiently. If your
captured images look fine at first, but become jittery after the system has
been capturing for a while, the capture board might be overheating.
