Streaming Camera from Jetson OrinNX

[Bonitodelcapo]

Describe what you want to implement and what the issue & the steps to reproduce it are:

I am having troubles getting the frames sent by a camera over the network using Multicast on 2 different machines. I adapted the provided C++ sample, confronted the #248 and #173 and also checked if there were bandwidth restrictions using the bandwidth manager.

****CONFIGURATION:

• single camera a2A2590-22gcBAS
• 1 Jetson machine Controller
• 1 Ubuntu machine Monitor

WHAT I AM ABLE TO DO:

• I am able to stream effortlessly on a single machine.
• I can control and monitor the camera from the same machine.
• I can open multiple instances of the monitor application on the same machine.
• I can control the camera form the UBUNTU machine and monitor it from the JETSON machine.
• I can open multiple monitoring instances on the JETSON machine (control host UBUNTU).

PROBLEMS:
When on the other hand i try to control the camera form the JETSON host and monitor it from the UBUNTU host i can't see the stream.
It seems to be related to the Jetson.

ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):

It seems that the image received on the target PC is possibly damaged. Since this issue doesn't appear to be related to pypylon, I recommend contacting your local support team or camera distributor for further assistance with setting up your hardware.
