santons 2 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Have you checked the connections it looks as if it is shorting somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apollo 9 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 never thought of that..the leads are cheap ones, i bought some dearer ones from amazon but they dont work with my jxd 990 for some reason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
santons 2 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Leads for recording are a pain to get right,I am trying to sort some out for my NS50 but apparently unless the configuration is right between the NV and the camera it wont work properly,I don't know much about cables but are the ones you using audio or video only reason I ask is I tried some cables from my sons camcorder on mine and the picture on screen was much the same as yours I found out later they were audio.

some bloke 60 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) I have used digital homebrew rigs with a JXD990 which flares up in places where there is more light in some places than others. I'm guessing that the reflected IR coming off the foliage at the lower left of the screen is somehow 'autogating' the iris of the N550. It seems to have got into a cycle of detecting too much, partially closing down the amount of light it's allowing in then recovering to do the same again - recurring. Sorry I don't have the techno speak to describe it better than that. I think I noticed an independant Illuminator moving across the scene? It might be a little better if you can focus the IR more tightly to avoid illuminating the foreground. EDIT: After having a second look, it's possible that the illuminator was flashing on and off.

apollo 9 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 my mate had a second illuminater on a monocular but i have noticed when i first turn the n550 on it flickers but not sure it used to..ill put some footage i took whilst getting used to using it of some fallow that all seems fine..

apollo 9 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 could it be that the media player is too close to the scope, as this footage was filmed with my mate pointing the gun and the jxd 990 was in my pocket about 4ft away..?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
