i dreamt of filling the axiom beta up with non-conductive fluid for cooling
16:17
Bertl
go ahead
16:18
comradekingu
Im thinking sealing the hdmi ports will be the problem
16:18
Bertl
but you need to keep the fluid chilled as well
16:19
Bertl
there are watertight HDMI ports IIRC
16:20
Bertl
at least IPX7 should be available
16:21

The fluid would eminate (?) heat via the body, and be transported around through convection, and possibly the fan
16:27
BogdanXor
joined the channel
16:27
comradekingu
with the added benefit of having less/no noise
16:28
Bertl
well, that is probably a very bad idea
16:28
Bertl
there are parts in the Beta which can get very hot, like the FPGA
16:28
Bertl
and there are other parts you want to keep cool, like the sesnor
16:29
Bertl
having a medium connecting them will result in heat transfer between FPGA and sensor
16:29
Bertl
which will nicely cool the FPGA, but heat up the sensor
16:30
comradekingu
im thinking net benefits to cooling will lessen the effects of transfer
16:31
Bertl
a heat conducting medium does not cool per se, it just distributes heat evenly
16:31
BogdanXor
left the channel
16:31
comradekingu
That means more cooling if you can dissipate heat through the body instead of storing it locally
16:32
Bertl
it would be way simpler to simply connect the FPGA and maybe the power board to the body
16:32
Bertl
this way the hot parts would transfer the heat to the outside without too much affecting the cool parts
16:33
kaiserlich
left the channel
16:33
Bertl
you still need to get rid of the heat somehow
16:33
comradekingu
I live in Norway, works for me
16:34
comradekingu
i have an ample supply of -10 C going on
16:34
Bertl
excellent
16:36
comradekingu
seeing as the inside of the case isnt sheilded from heat-transfer, im thinking a direct heatpipe would be half an oven
16:36
comradekingu
Or that it would-re-circulate to a large degree around the contact point
16:37
comradekingu
That could be dealt with however
16:37
Bertl
if you want to go for passive cooling via the body, I would isolate the lens mount (maybe the entire front) from the rest of the body
16:38
Bertl
and connect the back to FPGA and power board
16:38
comradekingu
I would more probably screw a massive heatsink to the body, and heatpipe through the shell
16:38
Bertl
this way the sensor will stay pretty cool with -10C ambient and the rest of the camera will be nicely warm
16:39
comradekingu
I also thought of something (while awake) How about a system where you can dial in the focal ranges for stationary rolling shutter shots
16:40
Bertl
no idea what that means :)
16:40
comradekingu
So lets say you devide the picture into 5 parts, and set up the distances for each, it could then do that live when taking the image, getting everything in focus
16:41
comradekingu
So lets say im looking at something where the top end of the image is 500 meters away, and then the other parts are 400 200 100 and 0
16:42
Bertl
if you want everything in focus, just choose a small aperture :)
16:44
comradekingu
Yes, but i want the equivalent of turning while capturing
16:45
Bertl
would need to be quite fast I guess
16:46
comradekingu
However fast automatic lenses can keep up, i have only one, and that is 40+ years old
16:46
comradekingu
Lets say you just quickly drew a curve of what the distance was top to bottom in the image
16:47
comradekingu
Or the software interpollated between the set-points so it could get every line right
16:47
comradekingu
That would take right now, many many many images to do, and a whole lot of manual editing
16:48
comradekingu
Lets say you could also do it vertically, and you wouldnt need millions of pictures
16:48
Bertl
well, focus changes require mechanical movement and I doubt that this will work across the focal range within a frame
16:49
comradekingu
I was thinking it would work if the camera was stationary

comradekingu, if I read the scrollback correctly, you just want a motion controlled programmable AF puller that works via the lens interface, right?
18:43
Spirit532
motion control, rather.
18:43
Spirit532
curves and all.
18:47
Bertl
which is fast enough to pull the focus during a single frame
18:47
comradekingu
Spirit532: yes
18:47
Spirit532
impossible mechanically
18:47
Spirit532
period
18:47
Spirit532
ypi
18:47
comradekingu
I dont care how long it takes to shoot a single frame
18:47
Spirit532
not video?
18:47
comradekingu
stills
18:47
Spirit532
that's easy
18:47
comradekingu
I just want control of depth of field
18:47
Spirit532
just a bit of code, really
18:48
Spirit532
focus stacking?
18:48
comradekingu
if possible
18:48
Spirit532
yeah, that's easy
18:48
Spirit532
provided you know the interface, have the hardware already(connected to the ARM side of things, though FPGA via ARM would be ok too)
18:48
Spirit532
just a bit of software to sequence it, really
18:49
Bertl
if time is not important, it can be done via a shell script
18:49
Spirit532
shooo
18:49
Spirit532
you've got bare metal, run bare metal
18:49
Bertl
focus to 0, capture frame, step focus, capture frame, ...
18:49
Spirit532
yup
18:50
Spirit532
or just capture video at full res into RAM
18:50
Spirit532
and focus slowly
18:50
Spirit532
(but digitally, so it's smooth)
