Bertl, is 720p30 also possible as output? (not now, but for the event)

Bertl
it would be doable, yes
14:05
Bertl
the HDMI output sequencer is configurable, so you can program it to output 720p as well
14:07
Bertl
or do you mean 1080p and 720p in parallel?
14:08

Bertl, only 720p
14:08
Bertl
okay, yes, that should be rather simple, just needs some testing

axiom beta -> decklink capture cards is not really working ...

With a usb caputure card it works (1080p30 only), with a monitor it worked with 1080p60.
16:06
niemand
and currently I see a green image but with the correct axiom beta overlay. what could cause this, Bertl?
16:11
BogdanXor

16:13

okay with the decklink mini recorder we only get red and green tones, with a correct overlay. With a blackmagic pocket camera it works fine, also with intensity shuttle as capture card via usb.

hi hi
17:33
Bertl
niemand: the overlay is combined before the TMDS (HDMI) encoding happens, so if that works, then you just managed to configure the matrix or output LUTs in an unfortunate way
17:34
Bertl
matrix and LUTs do not affect the overlay, only the image from the sensor
17:38
niemand
turns out, the image is there, but only in green and red
17:38
Bertl
maybe you just think that the overlay is correct
17:39
Bertl
in any case, make sure that you are capturing RGB444 not YCrCb or any subsampling
17:40
jucar
left the channel
17:40
Bertl
as I said, the (sensor) image is processed by the matrix and gamma LUTs, and then combined with the overlay
17:40
Bertl
once that is done, the resulting RGB 8bit values are encoded for HDMI
17:41
niemand
yes, the sensor is ok
17:41
niemand
we havent experimented with luts etc. yet
17:41
Bertl
so if the overlay is correct, then the 'processed' sensor image has to be fine as well
17:42
Bertl
btw, you can simply try with loading a few overlays or even images from SD card
17:42
niemand
is suspect the subsampling, but needs to be investigated.

if you have a specific recording system you want to be tested with the camera, the best way is to send it to us and we will check it

this is probably hard to debug as you can't look into the capture cards

probably some deviation from spec/standard
18:17

because it's HDMI

Bertl, would it be possible to output the stream encoded via ethernet?
18:32
niemand
This is what I get: https://sebix.at/tmp/axom_decklink_mini_recorder.jpg
18:33
Spirit532
niemand, you could stream via ethernet
18:33
Spirit532
but
18:33
Spirit532
the speed won't be pretty
18:34
niemand
Spirit532, can axiom encode to mpeg/h.264?
18:34
Spirit532
it's got an FPGA
18:34
Spirit532
it can encode into alien communications if you can write a core
18:36
niemand
but i dont know if the encoder runs on the fpga. if it does, great :) would be much less problematic
18:37
Spirit532
there is no encoder.
18:37
Spirit532
you have to make one.
18:41
niemand
is it possible to set the shutter speed?
18:45
se6astian
yes, you set the shutter through the exposure time
18:45
se6astian
see cmv_snap3 in wiki
18:45
niemand
no, for video
18:46
niemand
And how to set the gamma curve for the beta? I only found this for alpha: https://wiki.apertus.org/index.php/Axiom_Alpha_Software#LUTs
18:46
niemand
we currently have ~10fps
19:04
niemand
theory by clemens: is the blue led flashing with the same rate as the fps?
19:08
Bertl
okay, no, streaming via gigabit ethernet is not a good option
19:08
Bertl
encoding on the Beta is doable, but consumes a lot of resources and probably won't work above full HD
19:08
niemand
with 720p?
19:09
Bertl
regarding shutter, you set the exposure time and the sequencer alignes the exposures with the HDMI frame rate
19:09
Bertl
so, if you have 60 FPS HDMI output, you can get 60 or 30 or 15 or 10 ... FPS
19:10
Bertl
the actual output frame rate is determined by the exposre plus transfer time
19:10
Bertl
and yes, the blue LED flashes for each frame :)
19:10
Bertl
for the gamma curve, there is a shell script and a C tool which adjusts the LUTs
19:11
Bertl
regarding encoding, there is no available solution at the moment, so somebody would have to write it
19:12
niemand
what are these scripts and tools for the gamma curve?
19:13
niemand
is it possible to get the current frame rate?
19:15
Bertl
btw, the image you linked looks like YCrCb
19:16
niemand
can the axiom send in this mode?
19:16
Bertl
lut_conf3 is the C tool to set any LUTs including the gamma LUTs
19:16
Bertl
and gamma_conf.sh is the script which allows to set gamma values and program the gamma LUTs
19:17
Bertl
@YCrCb no, not yet, but it would be possible to add a conversion if necessary
19:17
Bertl
currently we only generate RGB444
19:19
niemand
ah, pmem is ./pmem
19:20
niemand
just fixed this in the wiki
19:21
niemand
Hm, "./lut_conf3 -r < /tmp/lut.save" says "mapped .." but doesnt exit.
19:34
Bertl
careful with changes to the wiki, this is for the Alpha
19:34
Bertl
i.e. don't change anything you haven't verified on an AXIOM Alpha :)
19:34
Bertl
best would be to make a similar page for the Beta and adjust it there
19:36
niemand
it doesnt work either
19:44
Bertl
what doesn't work?
