the Metabones inverse-teleconverters look really interesting

heard about them on here for the first time today and also by chance on a youtube photography video

he he, perhaps everybody except from me knew it already, but I've just discovered

this part of the CMV12000 datasheet is a actually a very important one
01:44
__anton__
http://octoray.co.uk/axiom/misc/target-surface.png
01:44
__anton__
it does show us that this is in fact the right way to maintain flunge distance with cmv12000 and there here there are exactly 4 points of contact

also Daniel suggested at some point that prosumer cameras here have got washers here to ensure that sensor is parallel to mount focal plane

alexML: the aptina and the A7s are rolling shutter only... there is no doubt that anything with RS will have good low light... especially when the readout is 25fps
12:16
alexML
of course
12:17
alexML
but I bet many users will want low light capability instead of global shutter
12:17
Bertl
the campaign results would indicate otherwise (KAC vs CMV)

CMV has 300fps and is larger, so I guess that's why everybody wanted it

i just spining again on the 4K RAW thing :)
17:22
Rebelj12a
Spinning?
17:23
surami
yep
17:23
Rebelj12a
I imagine being frustrated and spinning in my office chair pretending not to care.
17:23
surami
few days ago I asked about the possibilies
17:23
Rebelj12a
Wheee
17:24
surami
that how to get continous 4K RAW, maybe MLV file on something
17:24
Rebelj12a
I thought it might be posaible?
17:24
Rebelj12a
Bertl I sent you a sort of email on that.
17:24
surami
some body wrote to me
17:25
surami
that there is PCIe on picoboard
17:25
surami
but is it closed?
17:26
surami
and somebody should write a core for it or how is this?
17:26
surami
technically i don't know what is possible
17:26
Rebelj12a
Pcie would be a good bet. That stuff is beyond me.
17:27
surami
http://opencores.org/project,pcie_mini
17:28
surami
somebody could take a look on this, maybe this guy could jump into the project?
17:28
surami
to write the core?
17:28
surami
for 7 series?
17:29
Bertl
the PicoZed comes in 7015 and 7013 varian
17:29
Bertl
+t
17:29
Bertl
both provide up to 4 Multi Gigabit connections
17:29
Bertl
the available IP cores for PCIe are proprietary
17:31
philippej
left the channel
17:31
Bertl
there is further the question how to connect it to a PCIe host/slave
17:33
surami
so the GTX or GTP should be connected to a PCIe host?
17:33
Bertl
normally it is designed to be used for a PCIe card, yes
17:34
Bertl
i.e. the FPGA is _on_ that PCIe card which gets plugged _into_ a PC
17:34
surami
so the PC is the host
17:34
surami
i mean the "driver"
17:35
surami
could you write the information flow?
17:35
surami
i mean so: light -> sensor -> etc..
17:36
Bertl
light -> sensor -> FPGA -> PC ?
17:37
surami
ok :) so simple it is :D
17:37
surami
http://www.hitechglobal.com/Accessories/PCIExpress_Test_Board.htm
17:38
Bertl
this is a board to test PCIe cards
17:39
Bertl
it provides a clock and power and a huge number of SMA connectors to connect the lanes
17:40
surami
so we have to solve the GTX -> PCIe host/slave somehow?
17:41
surami
i don't understand
17:41
Bertl
this is one problem, yes, but another problem is the physical connection
17:41
Bertl
you probably don't want to 'plug in' your Beta into a slot on your PC, no?
17:41
surami
yes i don't want it
17:42
surami
i just thinking in direction m2 ssd
17:42
surami
things
17:42
surami
http://www.addonics.com/products/adm2px4.php
17:42
Bertl
so PCIe is designed for short distances, like 10-15 inch
17:43
Bertl
if the Zynq implements a root complex (i.e. the part a PC/CPU usually provides)
17:43
surami
i think on something cardrige solution
17:43
Bertl
then you can directly connect it to a PCIe based SSD
17:45
surami
i think on that, if a m2 ssd cardridge (unique design, enclosure)
17:45
surami
could be connected somehow to the Beta
17:46
surami
then we need another thing oin the computer (something that i linked)
17:46
surami
but with open back plate
17:46
surami
and the m2 ssd cartridge could be connected to that adapter
17:46
Bertl
now you've lost me
17:47
Bertl
can you draw a picture what you have in mind?
17:47
surami
:) yes
17:47
surami
i can try
17:48
surami
but the question is again the host thing...
17:48
surami
how to write the data to the connected m2 ssd drive
17:49
surami
what connection?
17:49
surami
etc...
17:49
surami
ehhh
17:49
surami
not simple
17:51
surami
if we are that situation, that the information is on the m2 ssd
17:52
surami
then with the adapter we can read in the data on the PC
17:52
surami
but the adapter should be a unique design
17:53
surami
too
17:53
Bertl
well, the SDD won't last very long I guess, the connectors are not really designed to be used that often
17:53
Bertl
(if you are thinking to remove the PCIe based SSD after each shoot)
17:57
surami
yes i thought that
17:57
surami
what connection could be a good solution?
17:57
surami
direct cable?
17:59
Bertl
a cable might be a good solution to transfer the data, but it creates a new problem if you put the SSD into the camera
17:59
Bertl
you need more tranceivers, those for the SSD and those for the cable connection
18:00
surami
with one more board?
18:00
surami
maybe?
18:00
Bertl
you mean another PicoZed?
18:00
surami
yes
18:00
surami
and run parellely
18:00
Bertl
unfortunately that doesn't really help
18:01
Bertl
you would have to transfer the data between the PicoZeds
18:01
Bertl
which again would either require more tranceivers or would consume I/O pins, which are already used for the sensor
18:02
Bertl
so it's all a little tricky there :)

and the GTX -> USB 3 connection somehow?
18:12
Bertl
USB 3 is possible but a software nightmare
18:12
Bertl
i.e. you would require a complete USB 3 stack in the FPGA
18:17
surami
this guys maybe?
18:17
surami
http://opencores.org/project,usb3
18:18
Bertl
well, they started september 2011, haven't checked in any files and are in the planning phase
18:18
Bertl
so if all goes well, around 2025 maybe?

well, i can understand the pinning for pcie or USB3 ... but i feel HDMI can be damn fine, and more than enough for the beta.
19:00
seku
transmitters are cheap, bandwidth is large...
19:01
seku
i suppose :)
19:02
seku
on the PC recording side i would guess it to be something like HDMI in, then buffered in RAM, and written directly to SSD(s), maybe wrapped in MLV?
19:03
dmjnova
Bertl: it seems there are open pcie implementations for fpga
19:04

though I've not tested any

20:24

what would you like to know?
20:25

Bertl the general development timeline, when this are expected or need to be finished etc leading up to beta shipping.
20:26
Bertl
'when this are expected or needed?'
20:26
Bertl
we plan to have the first batch ready on April
20:26
Rebelj12a
Ok
20:26
Rebelj12a
Like the individual parts indepth of development.
20:27
Rebelj12a
Obviously working on sensor right now, others are working on HDMI recording etc.
20:27
Rebelj12a
Deadlines for those parts in order to be ready for batches.
20:27
Rebelj12a
parts - as in, software and hardware, pieces of the beta
20:27
Bertl
we will create some kind of timeline soon, at the moment we are busy processing the input from the campaign
20:27
Rebelj12a
Ah ok
20:27
Rebelj12a
Just wondering, and gathering data for the wiki.
20:27
Bertl
software will not have priority for us
20:27
Rebelj12a
Oh it wont?
20:28
Bertl
many folks will be able to help there (e.g. ML folks) once the hardware is available
20:28
Rebelj12a
Ah ok
20:28
Bertl
so for obvious reasons the hardware has top priority
20:29
Rebelj12a
Makes sense, didnt know. I meant more, sensor works with the OS type software. you know. Everything is read correctly.
20:29
Bertl
we already got the CMV12k running on the alpha, so I do not expect sudden problems there
