if anybody has comments to the new website structure: apertus.org let me know

se6astian: I think all of the cameras could be under one tab "hardware" and then a nested menu from there. Uses less visual space, and the dictator and other such things can fit in. Also it allows for more cameras in the future (instead of sending the current ones to legacy)
10:54
comradekingu
I think the home link could be removed, since its already at "apertus" About could be put on mouseover apertus

I think "free (in terms of liberty), sustainable and open digital cinema tools" sounds nice, but doesnt so much explain matters to someone not in the know
11:24
se6astian
comradekingu: we only have one hierarchy menus currently and cant nest any submenus into them unfortunately
11:24
se6astian
removing home is an interesting idea
11:25
se6astian
I wonder though if enough people realize they can click the logo to get to the home page....
11:31
comradekingu
its what you do on wikipedia
11:32
comradekingu
Acutally there is a "Main page" too now that i looked

clicking on site logo to go to home is really common
13:30
intracube
bbc.co.uk doesn't have any specific home link on most pages
13:32
intracube
photos.google.com has just got an extreme makeover and has done away with a lot of labelled buttons/link
13:32
intracube
*links

If you got to the home page once, you can get there again

Bertl: Any sensors that allow for a full piecewise curve to make a custom sensor response?

20:23
Bertl
troy_s: none that I would know of (but there are many sensors which require NDAs to get datasheets)

se6astian
good evening
20:25
se6astian
troy_s: the question is what underlying method is used to make the sensels less sensitive in that area of the curve
20:26
se6astian
the CMV12000 does it with exposure time interruptions
20:26
se6astian
which isnt perfect ....
20:28
troy_s
se6astian: Yes... Voltage trickery
20:28
troy_s
se6astian: I ask because the Arri sensors do a very clever bit of trickery in that each stop ends up allocated with identical bits.
20:29
troy_s
Their loglike curve is excellent on that front, summing to around 14.5 stops (not marketing stops either)
20:34
se6astian
are you sure the sensors response curve itself in the alexa isnt linear?
20:39
troy_s
Have a look.
20:39
troy_s
No way to get the latitude.
20:39
troy_s
Most cameras offer a recording mode
20:39
troy_s
Linear or log
20:40
troy_s
Which behave precisely as we would expect
20:40
Bertl
if they offer linear, then it is very unlikely that the sensor is log
20:40
troy_s
Less latitude in linear with more granularity
20:41
troy_s
And more latitude in log
20:41
Bertl
so I presume the "log" formats are just a mapping of the linear values
20:41
troy_s
Nope
20:41
troy_s
See above
20:42
troy_s
The Sony docs even restate the abpve
20:42
troy_s
Less latitude versus more
20:42
Bertl
doesn't mean that the sensor does log
20:42
troy_s
Try to explain that without an on sensor voltage tweak
20:43
troy_s
Right so they are willingly tossing latitude
20:43
Bertl
not saying that it doesn't do this, but as a matter of fact, a truly logarithmic sensor would be complicated to build
20:44
Bertl
i.e. it is much simpler to use piecewise linear modes or make two or more exposures and "calculate" something you recognize as log
20:44
troy_s
Pretty sure it would be nothing more than something akin to pwl
20:44
troy_s
I am not saying the sensor is log
20:44
Bertl
but again, I don't know for those proprietary sensors
20:44
troy_s
I am saying it has a loglike mode
20:44
troy_s
Using whatever alchemy akin to pwl
20:45
troy_s
But almost certainly a PWL with more than one knee
20:45
troy_s
Or two

Bertl
not sure what you base that conclusion on
20:53
troy_s
Bits per stop
20:56
troy_s
Or Bertl do you think we could do a PWL interpolating
20:56
troy_s
To smooth the bit distribution
21:04
troy_s
(By "most certainly" I meant that whatever they are doing it isn't a simple set of linear points between their exposure measurements, not that they are necessarily using a PWL or such. Could be anything.)
21:04
troy_s
(Somewhere there is interpolation is the guess, and it isn't a lerp.)
21:07
Bertl
well, do you have raw (real raw) sensor data?
21:08
Bertl
otherwise, good random data will give you perfect bit distribution

Bertl: To smooth the sensor data to a proper log curve.
23:52
troy_s
(To optimize the bits per stop)
23:59
Bertl
unfortunately without actual sensor data, it is all speculation
