I have a blackfly camera with which I face some troubles similar to
yours. I think it's due to the fact the register giving the Time Tick
Frequency returns a wrong value. And this value is used to compute the
image buffer timestamps.

I'll try to fix this issue by tomorrow.

        Cheers,

                Emmanuel.
