- *Solution*: Provide adequate ventilation and consider heatsinking for continuous operation
Clock Signal Integrity
- *Pitfall*: Jittery clock signals degrading video quality
- *Solution*: Use low-jitter crystal oscillator with proper grounding
- *Pitfall*: Clock signal overshoot/undershoot
- *Solution*: Implement series termination resistors near clock source
Video Signal Quality
- *Pitfall*: Analog signal degradation before compression
- *Solution*: Use high-quality video buffers and proper impedance matching
- *Pitfall*: Ground loops introducing noise
- *Solution*: Implement star grounding and separate analog/digital grounds
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
