1. A system comprising:
a machine vision illumination control output configured to provide machine vision illumination timing information for a machine vision illumination source; and
a human vision illumination control output configured to provide human vision illumination timing information for a human vision illumination source, wherein:
the machine vision illumination source is configured to provide a machine vision frequency band of illumination configured for concealing an obfuscation within a manufacturing process for a camera monitoring system; and
the human vision illumination source is configured to provide a human vision frequency band of illumination configured for illuminating the obfuscation within the manufacturing process for a human.
