    • Backside, two small PH0 at each CCD. But the Cameramodules are clued to the board,too - without destruction, you can not open it.

    • I want to save it as spare-part, so i don't want to open it. So here is finito capito. :) Thanks for watching...

    • Extra: The wiring.

    • It's an USB3 cable without green/white Pimf. There are three SEPARATE ISOLATED metalfoil shields with wire, red-black-power and two Pimf yellow/blue and orange/green. So ja, thats it. Paulaner.

Does anyone think it would be possible to cut the wires from two cameras and splice the wires together and put the power on a A/B rocker switch to switch between two cameras?
