[TRLC-DK1] USB camera bandwidth and dropped frames for builders labs (intermediate)

How do you figure out whether DK1 dropped frames are caused by USB bandwidth limits instead of sync logic or camera software?

A common DK1 data-collection failure appears only after a session starts: multiple USB cameras look healthy at first, then dropped frames and bandwidth fights quietly degrade the dataset.

How are you diagnosing USB camera bandwidth limits and dropped frames in DK1 capture setups?

Please share how you test bus saturation, decide which streams can coexist, and what changes actually reduced frame loss.

If you reply, include one exact dropped-frame symptom and one exact hardware or configuration change that helped.

Searchers often need to know whether the real fix was camera settings, cabling, host topology, or compute. Call out the winning layer.

Comment 2

If you have a simple preflight test for bandwidth stress, share it. Labs reuse those quickly.

Comment 3

The strongest replies connect frame loss to downstream sync or dataset rejection so others know how urgent the issue really is.
