if you want footage to compare what you are pulling from your system
23:00
Bertl
when somebody thinks, this feature would be cool, here have a camera to show you how it does or doesn't work
23:00
Bertl
so you will be a valuable asset when we get to testing
23:01
theverant
like I said, I'd like to help if I can
23:01
Bertl
appreciated!
23:02
theverant
I wish I had a vector to fish around for some grant money
23:02
Bertl
so, in case you are really planning to build an axiom alpha prototype, please make sure to contact me for updated layouts and a bunch of tips how to assemble the FE
23:03
Bertl
(as well as getting the software part working)
23:04
theverant
You mean the camera system software? Or software to work with the footage?
23:04
Bertl
the development/build system for the camera software, yes
23:04
Bertl
i.e. FPGA bitstream, linux kernel and userspace
23:05
Bertl
regarding post processing you probably know better than I do :)
23:06
theverant
yes, well, maybe an area I can help as well
23:08
Bertl
great!
23:15
theverant
Are you familiar with Red's wifi based remote control system?
23:16
Bertl
nope
23:16
theverant
"Redmote" (I really hate their naming scheme)
23:16
theverant
oh!
23:16
theverant
It's so useful
23:16
theverant
basically the camera has wifi, as does the remote
23:16
theverant
you pair them together
23:17
Bertl
well, we plan to have ethernet, probably wifi as well
23:17
theverant
and you have this device which you can remote start/stop, control menus, etc
23:17
theverant
it mounts directly to the module mount on the camera
23:17
theverant
to charge, or just to use it attached
23:17
Bertl
and we definitely plan to allow modifying all aspects via network
23:18
Bertl
may it be via applets on smarphones or just a web browser
23:18
theverant
yeah, a iOS app could achieve the same thing without proprietary (expensive) hardware
23:18
theverant
yeah, great idea
23:18
theverant
wifi ought to be part of the central body
23:18
guesst
have you tried to use a smartphone with wet hands ? :)
23:19
theverant
ethernet makes sense as a module
23:19
theverant
lol
23:19
theverant
yeah
23:19
theverant
sometimes specialized hardware is useful
23:19
Bertl
guesst: probably depends on the digitizer
23:19
theverant
physical wheels make a lot of sense too
23:19
theverant
but you could build a controller very cheaply with Arduino and wifi
23:20
Bertl
ethernet will probably be a base I/O for several reasons
23:20
theverant
oh? Interesting
23:20
Bertl
with wifi, there are at least two issues ...
23:21
Bertl
first, it is not easy to find a wifi module/stack which doesn't require proprietary firmware blobs
23:21
Bertl
(unfortunate one of the lost freedoms)
23:21
theverant
right
23:22
Bertl
secondly, I'm not convinced that you want somebody in the vicinity to disrupt or even hijack your camera and maybe attached motion system :)
23:22
theverant
Doesn't seem to be a problem with the Red cameras
23:22
theverant
it's not an open SSID on there
23:22
theverant
plus you have to pair the devices with each other before you can remotely control
23:23
Bertl
I'm pretty sure that the TV manufacturers will tell you that the TV-off gadgets are not a problem either :)
23:23
guesst
never heard of ssl?
23:23
theverant
there must be some secure handshake routine you could use. Obviously it is a point of potential weakness
23:23
guesst
why it has to be so open
23:23
theverant
but the benefits would outweigh the negatives
23:24
Bertl
yes, there are many options, just not convinced that (open) wifi should be one of them :)
23:24
theverant
no I never said open wifi, that's a terrible idea
23:24
guesst
there is no difference between an open/closed wifi... the application has to be secure
23:24
theverant
but wifi as a protocol because of it's flexibility
23:25
guesst
you can as well as break an eth cable and steal control
23:25
Bertl
but I suggest to try to make a point by finding a wifi module which works just fine on linux without binary blobs
23:25
guesst
does it matter if a blob is part of module (pre-flashed) or not part of it (ram-only module) ?
23:26
Bertl
as long as it doesn't involve special royalties or conditions, a hardware module with a well documented interface will be fine
23:27
Bertl
the problem with most devices is that they do require a proprietary driver, and that is not really an option for us
23:27
guesst
browse the linux sourcecodes (or ask on list) and make a deal with the maker of that super wifi
23:28
Bertl
note that bluetooth might be a viable alternative
23:29
guesst
what if blackmagic makes their cameras open to custom firmwares? (or somebody hacks them?)
23:29
Bertl
then the world will be a better place I guess? :)
23:31
theverant
doesn't Bluetooth have relatively poor range?
23:31
guesst
if you put it in a metal box, yes
23:31
Bertl
well, about 20m should be fine, up to 100m on open range I'd say
23:31
theverant
everything sucks inside a metal box
23:32
theverant
that;s why the Red cameras have a plastic cover over the wifi module
23:32
guesst
others got antennas
23:32
theverant
nah, antennas are silly
23:33
theverant
unless you are running an ENG style camera and need the crazy range
23:33
theverant
antenna is just something to break off in a cinema style shoot
23:33
guesst
rather an antenna than lost control..
23:33
Bertl
actually zigbee works exceptionally well inside metal boxes :)
23:33
theverant
yeah I figured you'd play that card :D
23:33
guesst
running with $100k over the place an you worry about breaking an antenna?:)
23:34
theverant
guesst: have you even done a cinema style shoot with a crew?
23:35
guesst
nope
23:35
theverant
you don't want little bits sticking off the camera, trust me
23:35
theverant
especially if they are required for communicating with the camera
23:35
theverant
there are already going to be wires everywhere
23:36
theverant
things being attached and detached
23:36
theverant
if you did have a small antenna it would have to be recessed, protected somehow
23:37
theverant
but yeah
23:37
theverant
zigbee would be awesome
23:37
theverant
too bad most devices don't natively support it
23:37
theverant
but what if Zigbee on the camera and a Zigbee-wifi bridge? would that still be a no no for you guys?
23:38
theverant
Bertl: do you get sick of people telling you how to build your camera? :D
23:38
Bertl
there is no no-no per se, even if we decide not to go this or that route for whatever reason, you still can add that part yourself (or find somebody to do it for you)
23:39
Bertl
no, actually I appreciate it like I appreciate all input ... it just depends on how the information is presented and what arguments come up
23:40
Bertl
usually information which is accompanied by expressions like 'because I say so' or 'that's how it is supposed to be' get a lower rating than those presented with a striking argument :)
23:43
theverant
but what if I'm *right*? :D
23:44
theverant
"build your own damn camera
23:44
theverant
"
23:44
theverant
hahaha :D
23:45
guesst
what happened with the elphel cameras?
23:45
guesst
would not be much easier to make for them a new sensor front, they were opensource and open for such a mod..
23:46
Bertl
they are still built and improved by andrey, AFAIK
23:46
Bertl
the problem is more that andrey doesn't really want to share development stuff
23:47
Bertl
unfortunately, there will be some parallel develeopment, but I still hope we will be able to exchange in some way
23:48
Bertl
(for example, you won't we able to get access to the latest designs, may it be schematic or layout with elphel)
23:48
guesst
well, he has to run the business somehow
23:49
Bertl
that is alays the problem with and/or explanation for not being open :)
23:49
guesst
so you can make business and be open? or you just like to work for free? :)
23:49
Bertl
both, yes
00:07
Bertl
off to bed now ... have fun!
00:15
dmj_nova
btw: Bertl there are now a number of wifi modules with open drivers, some are still closed but they shouldn't be problematic to avoid.
00:18
dmj_nova
also, regarding wifi controllable cameras and security, Novacut has some nifty open source secure peering technology.
00:18
dmj_nova
We use it it peer computers for collaborative editing and asset management.

Bertl
morning folks!
07:02
dmj_nova1
Bertl: I don't think finding wifi with open drivers will be much of an issue
07:03
dmj_nova1
It's not 2007 anymore
07:03
Bertl
maybe you can make a suggestion for a module which can be easily integrated and has open drivers then?
07:03
dmj_nova1
though we may need to avoid one or two of the major brands
07:04
dmj_nova1
I'm not entirely certain as to the easily integrated part
07:06
Bertl
well, we probably won't have high bandwidth USB, and we definitely do not have PCI(e) or related interfaces
07:07
Bertl
anything which connects to a microcontroller or operates like an ethernet phy would be fine though
07:07
dmj_nova1
but an intel or atheros chip at least has open source drivers to my knowledge
07:08
dmj_nova1
broadcom has binary crap unless that's changed recently
07:09
dmj_nova1
system76 might have a good idea as to wifi driver support, though interfacing with custom boards is another story
07:10
Bertl
http://hackaday.com/2013/08/09/tiny-wifi-modules-again/
07:10
Bertl
something like this might work 'out of the box' and be sufficient for remote control
07:10
dmj_nova1
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_wireless_drivers
07:13
Bertl
well, I know the atheros chips, I even used a bunch of atheros cards back then -- the driver was horrible :)
07:13
Bertl
that might have changed over the past few years though
07:15
Bertl
I'm not sure what the missing fields in the non-free firmware required column mean for the realtek chips
07:15
Bertl
but it general, the question is what you want to do via wifi
07:15
dmj_nova1
Bertl: either means unknown (to the author) or not applicable
07:16
dmj_nova1
Bertl: Could be lots of things
07:16
Bertl
I'm mostly interested in the amount of data
07:16
dmj_nova1
remote operation, transmission to video village, peering with other devices
07:17
dmj_nova1
granted you couldn't transmit everything in full quality in realtime, but you could do very interesting things
07:18
dmj_nova1
plus, I'd recommend integrating a wifi AC chip
07:18
Bertl
can you put any bandwidth numbers on those things?
07:19
dmj_nova1
realtime video transmission would need to be lower quality (generate jpegs and send those), so it's whatever your encoding is
07:19
Bertl
one frame per second :)
07:19
dmj_nova1
but you can totally send HD video over wifi, bandwidth just affects the bitrate
07:20
Bertl
what would be the point to send HD video in terrible quality over wifi from a movie camera?
07:20
dmj_nova1
as far as sending full-quality, the camera could catch up between takes
07:21
dmj_nova1
say you can't tether the camera with a physical cable
07:21
dmj_nova1
such a thing would let the director see the live camera output
07:22
Bertl
well, if you have such a special scenario, I guess it is easy to hook up a wireless bridge to the gigabit ethernet port and be done, no?
07:24
dmj_nova1
Though that would be more cumbersome
07:25
Bertl
why?
07:25
dmj_nova1
Another dongle to mount on your camera
07:25
dmj_nova1
then setting up the wireless bridge becomes another task, etc.
07:27
Bertl
well, we can't integrate everything into the camera, otherwise it will require four people to carry it, not speaking of the batteries :)
07:27
Bertl
and if you encounter this setup on a regular basis, the bridge will be already configured
07:27
dmj_nova1
true, though I doubt a wifi chip will change much
07:28
Bertl
feel free to design a module/extension for that
07:28
dmj_nova1
Wifi could also be on a separate board attached to the main bus
07:28
dmj_nova1
in the storage unit would make sense
07:29
Bertl
sorry, not to me -- I don't see why you would want to torture your SSDs with wifi :)
07:31
dmj_nova1
Persistent wifi + storage = automation
07:31
dmj_nova1
so the camera and your PC can manage your footage behind the scenes without you fussing
07:33
dmj_nova1
Before you even plug in your SSDs, the ingest machine would already have a head start with material being logged and backed up.
07:33
Bertl
do a quick calculation what amount of data we are talking about and how long the synchronization via wifi would take
07:33
dmj_nova1
which would save quite a bit of time on set
07:34
Bertl
also calculate what amount of efford would go into handling partial syncs and proper recombination
07:34
dmj_nova1
also considering an 8:1 ratio of minutes on set to minutes recorded
07:34
dmj_nova1
Bertl: no effort at all
07:35
dmj_nova1
(providing you structure your data well)
07:37
Bertl
btw, is this a real world scenario at all, i.e. that you want to process your raw footage on site? wouldn't it make much more sense to record everything and then do the time consuming post processing somewhere else?
07:38
dmj_nova1
You could get up to 5 fps under optimal conditions
07:39
dmj_nova1
Bertl: so there are stages: recording, ingest, logging, light grade, editing, final grading...
07:39
dmj_nova1
recording is what your camera does
07:40
dmj_nova1
ingest is importing the footage from the camera's recording media to your asset management system
07:41
dmj_nova1
logging is going through the footage, tagging it and such
07:41
dmj_nova1
depending on the production, at least recording and ingest are done on set
07:42
dmj_nova1
but logging, light grade, and even editing may also be done on set
07:45
dmj_nova1
It used to be that you began the logging process with the "dailies" after the film lab got done processing the footage from the previous day's shoot, but with digital you can start whenever the files are on a computer
07:47
dmj_nova1
If you give the option to process on site, some filmmakers won't use it and some will.
07:48
Bertl
assuming your 'computer' can handle the bandwidth, the SSDs can be read with 500MB/s and more, that means roughly 30 minutes for a single SSD with 1TB
07:49
Bertl
of course, there is no reason to copy those disks one after the other (except for maybe the limited performance of your storage system)
07:51
Bertl
assuming that you will barely get 25MB/s over wifi, this means roughly 10 hours for a single drive over wifi
07:51
Bertl
note that this would require the wifi to be used exclusively for transferring the data
07:55
dmj_nova1
I don't think only 25MB/s is a safe assumption with wifi anymore
07:55
dmj_nova1
it's a baseline, but you can easily get more
08:00
dmj_nova1
Bertl: so wifi AC can achieve close to 7gbps theoretically and maybe 1.7-2.5 gbps in practice
08:01
dmj_nova1
of course that's best case
08:03
Bertl
which one from the list was the AC chipset with open drivers and firmware?
08:05
troy_s
You never edit on set.
08:05
dmj_nova1
troy_s: that's true for *most* filmmakers
08:05
troy_s
Perhaps to test an effects shot or a alug.
08:05
dmj_nova1
there are some exceptions
08:06
troy_s
That is true for all. I have done the gamut sir. ;)
08:06
troy_s
And even temp edits aren't editorial.
08:06
troy_s
Pure tests.
08:06
dmj_nova1
Robert Rodriguez does
08:06
troy_s
A one light for certain
08:06
dmj_nova1
troy_s: fair enough
08:07
troy_s
(which is done off of the high quality raws and often baked into the editorials)
08:09
dmj_nova1
Bertl: of course with modern chips, it seems you will likely get under 100 MB/s in actual TCP throughput
08:09
dmj_nova1
troy_s: do you need all the frames for doing a one light?
08:10
troy_s
Normally the DIT is pulling the full raws and doing the one light.
08:11
dmj_nova1
I mean, does the DIT need access to all the raws from a given clip to begin working on the one light?
08:11
troy_s
And the resultant LUT would be baked into editorial, so yes, they would need the frames.
08:11
troy_s
Simple example from an F65 would be to take the deck disk and do a copy and grade, then bake the crap editorials.
08:11
Bertl
dmj_nova1: single stream maximum of 802.11ac is 866Mbit/s under optimal conditions
08:12
troy_s
Yes.
08:12
troy_s
The DIT would do a dupe off of the original disk.
08:12
dmj_nova1
Bertl: yeah, I already checked and the first source (which I commented from initially) got it wrong
08:12
dmj_nova1
they multiplied a number already factored in
08:13
Bertl
also note that if you have a 1:8 recording/non-recording ratio, you can easily do all the transfers with just two sets of SSDs
08:13
dmj_nova1
looking at actual benchmarks, 250-600 mb/s looks typical
08:13
troy_s
rexbron can likely walk you through a few typical scenarios better than I as he has been a DIT a few times.
08:13
Bertl
i.e. just change the SSD pack in the first pause and you'll be done before the next recording starts
08:13
dmj_nova1
troy_s: of course you'd actually get all the frames that day
08:13
troy_s
8 to 1 shooting ratio?
08:14
Bertl
that was a (random) number dmj_nova1 picked to argue for transferring the footage over wifi
08:14
troy_s
I have yet to see wifi transfer.
08:14
dmj_nova1
was mainly considering whether you could do the human grading labor before all the files had finished copying if the system would take care of applying the LUT to the frames as they arrived
08:15
troy_s
SDI everywhere. Teradek or such for wireless display.
08:15
troy_s
Most of the DIT rigs I see are based off of a dumper at the station itself.
08:15
troy_s
Either a R3D rocket scenario or the Sony reader etx.
08:16
troy_s
(and of course fiber)
08:17
dmj_nova1
troy_s: what recieves the teradek signal at video village?
08:18
dmj_nova1
it's just an h.264 stream right?
08:18
troy_s
Personally I would think it is all moot by and large given the target audience. Likely say, dual SSDs on board? Then all one would need is an eSATA or USB3 or Tbolt drive dock.
08:18
troy_s
The bolts I have seen for remote heads etc.
08:18
Bertl
precisely
08:18
dmj_nova1
yeah, the teradek stuff looks to use high speed wifi
08:18
troy_s
I have no clue about Bolt protocols.
08:18
troy_s
Also have seen custom microwave units etx.
08:19
Bertl
dmj_nova1: maybe consider a proper directional microwave link?
08:19
troy_s
Basic idea is "take disk from camera and dump" and that applies right up the food chain in my experience.
08:20
Bertl
you could get really good rates with that and even supply the camera with power or recharge during breaks :)
08:20
troy_s
(where the raw disks are also taken to the lab for file vaulting / archiving)
08:20
troy_s
Microwaves still freak me out. There are some xmitters that easily exceed regulations.
08:21
Bertl
yeah, you must make sure not to step into the beam, otherwise you'll get fried :)
08:21
troy_s
But for a get-it-done goal driven mindset, SSDs or dual SSD striping or whatever would seem fine.
08:21
dmj_nova1
no, do not stripe
08:21
dmj_nova1
bad
08:21
dmj_nova1
evil
08:21
troy_s
Huh?
08:22
dmj_nova1
can lead to data loss much more easily
08:22
troy_s
If all you can muster is a stripe, so be it.
08:22
Bertl
there will be striping unless the SSDs get really fast soon
08:22
troy_s
Striped frames.
08:22
troy_s
Not a bloody raid.
08:22
dmj_nova1
troy_s: oh
08:22
dmj_nova1
that's fine
08:22
troy_s
Nothing wrong with striping though.
08:23
dmj_nova1
as long as individual files are put on a normal filesystem I'm cool with it
08:23
Bertl
dmj_nova1: what kind of data loss do you see/expect with striping?
08:23
troy_s
And I can't see Bertl quietly designing a new bus protocol that suddenly eliminates overheads. :)
08:23
dmj_nova1
Bertl: RAID array striping easily results in brokenness
08:23
Bertl
puts that on the todo list right after world domination
08:24
dmj_nova1
As far as alternating frames accross drives, yeah, we should
08:24
troy_s
I have yet to see it "easily" in my experience, but alas... only a useless personal anecdote.
08:24
troy_s
I have only seen RAID striping suck with hardware RAID, and that is always a snapped controller doing its own thing.
08:25
Bertl
well, I've implemented striping systems (up to 16 disks) for various customers (for performance reasons) and there has never been a problem except for failing drives
08:25
dmj_nova1
At the data volumes we're looking at, we may want file-based striping and mirroring
08:25
troy_s
But again, living in reality when designing is never a bad thing. Get-er'-done is infinitely better than never-done. Or to quote Patton "A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow."
08:25
dmj_nova1
Because if you're shooting terabytes a day, you will get bad copies on a daily basis
08:26
Bertl
of course, you increase the potential for failure with each and every drive, but except for that, I don't see what should go wrong
08:26
troy_s
All hypothetical.
08:26
dmj_nova1
Bertl: you should expect an unrecoverable read error every 3TB or therabouts
08:26
troy_s
Having a camera that can shoot five minutes is still infinitely far away. ;)
08:26
Bertl
troy_s: speaking of getting things done ... I finished the second alpha prototype :)
08:27
dmj_nova1
Bertl: :)
08:27
troy_s
Wow. Better sensor?
08:27
Bertl
yes, it is a 'perfect' sensor, but it isn't mounted yet
08:27
troy_s
I will have some uptime near XMas before Spain.
08:27
troy_s
I will try to get an OCIO LUT set done.
08:27
dmj_nova1
Bertl: what year was your RAID experience in?
08:27
Bertl
dmj_nova1: you should change the brand of your SSDs :)
08:28
dmj_nova1
Bertl: the numbers are based on manufacturer specs
08:28
Bertl
if you get an unrecoverable read error every 3TB :)
08:29
dmj_nova1
Bertl: with striping you would likely not even notice
08:29
troy_s
I would think the project would be celebrating a read error.
08:29
Bertl
one of my customers has a striped SSD raid with 6 disks, which has a data throughput of about 200TB each night
08:29
dmj_nova1
It would just silently give you data different than was stored
08:30
Bertl
the data is checksummed, so any error would show up
08:30
troy_s
We should exert an effort to stay in reality
08:30
dmj_nova1
Ah, SSD
08:30
Bertl
over the last 3 years, there have been about 12 replacements
08:30
Bertl
(because the disks just died :)
08:30
troy_s
Which currently is a "camera" that is mounted to a room and can only shoot still frames.
08:31
dmj_nova1
troy_s: what kind of drives are used for post production, is it all SSD based?
08:31
Bertl
but there hasn't been a single uncorrectable read error yet .. so do the math :)
08:31
troy_s
And isn't even profiled.
08:31
troy_s
dmj_nova1: Personally? I use mag disks and SSDs.
08:31
troy_s
Mags for storage and SSDs for working slushes.
08:32
troy_s
I think rexbron does a similar thing.
08:32
dmj_nova1
mag disk?
08:32
troy_s
Mags are cheap and reasonably brisk.
08:32
troy_s
Magnetic.
08:32
Bertl
btw, in what way would 'silently giving wrong data' be different with a single disk vs striped?
08:33
dmj_nova1
troy_s: you mean hard drives?
08:33
troy_s
Yes
08:33
dmj_nova1
okay
08:33
Bertl
yes, those are magnetic disks
08:33
troy_s
Just use a dock.
08:33
troy_s
Cost effective
08:33
dmj_nova1
yeah, I know HDDs are magnetic disks, just am not used to them being called "mag disks"
08:34
dmj_nova1
Bertl: 'silently giving wrong data' is the same for single vs striped
08:34
Bertl
so back to why striping is 'very bad' then, I guess?
08:34
dmj_nova1
in parity raid, it's a killer because it can seriously fuck more data up in the name of "correcting" the data
08:35
Bertl
nobody uses mirror raid without quorum :)
08:35
troy_s
You boys are being silly zippers.
08:35
Bertl
well, yeah, maybe some folks do, but nobody seriously interested in keeping their data :)
08:35
troy_s
No camera yet remember?
08:35
troy_s
;)
08:36
dmj_nova1
I don't like to rely on anything that propagates hardware failure
08:36
Bertl
troy_s: we trust that you are already working on it ... :)
08:36
dmj_nova1
striping is fine as long as it's not at the partition level
08:36
Bertl
no, I wouldn't stripe a partition
08:36
Bertl
I definitely would stripe the entire disk :)
08:36
dmj_nova1
but alternating frames is fine
08:36
troy_s
To be fair... HFS propagates corrupted data and it is the most in-vogue OS out there right now.
08:37
dmj_nova1
stripe at the file level, not the filesystem level
08:37
dmj_nova1
who the fuck uses HFS?
08:37
Bertl
all mac os users I guess?
08:38
dmj_nova1
well, OS X and Windows do have shit file systems
08:38
Bertl
well, actually HFS+, but those are details
08:38
dmj_nova1
oh "in vogue OS" not "in vogue filesystem"
08:39
dmj_nova1
Bertl: So for striping, I'm uncomfortable with anything that you couldn't plug any single disk from the set into a machine and have it just work.
08:39
troy_s
if Bertl gave me a 150 fps 12 stop prototype that fragged frames every 3 tb I would be ecstatic actually...
08:40
Bertl
LOL
08:41
dmj_nova1
btw, my whole thing about file systems and wifi transmission is that I think it's possible to do better than the status quo given the right foundation
08:42
Bertl
like with dmj_nova1's eight antenna wireless sync module and basestation ... soon to be designed :)
08:43
Bertl
I agree that it is a good thing to explore possibilities
08:43
Bertl
without that, there is no progress
08:44
Bertl
I also agree that both wifi and storage is not our primary concern for the next stage (after the crowd funding)
08:44
troy_s
Get-it-done-tomorrow
08:44
Bertl
we will be busy identifying the proper baseboard and sensor interfaces and hopefully figure out a way to make it extensible
08:45
troy_s
If Ax keeps that thinking, it is all win.
08:45
Bertl
Ax?
08:45
troy_s
Similar vein in creating work - leave the speculative fictions that change directions for Project Next.
08:45
troy_s
Axiom
08:45
Bertl
ah, we have a two letter acronym already, nice!
08:46
troy_s
Project Next always appears more appealing than Project Must Finish
08:46
troy_s
Ax - The Scent of Vapourcamera.
08:47
dmj_nova1
haha
08:49
troy_s
dmj_nova1: I have to ask...
08:49
dmj_nova1
ask away :P
08:49
Bertl
off for now ... bbl
08:49
troy_s
dmj_nova1: What the _fsck_ is going on with Novacut?
08:59
dmj_nova1
mostly improvements to dmedia for the moment, though there's some other things that are pretty exciting
09:09
troy_s
DMedia confuses the shit out of me.
09:09
troy_s
But alas... must sleep. Joy.
09:09
troy_s
Night all. Be well.
09:09
troy_s
Nacht dmj_nova1.

good evening
20:37
Bertl
evening!
20:39
se6astian
are you at the happylab?
20:48
guesst
will be there any 4k video footage from the prototype soon?
21:02
Bertl
nope
21:02
guesst
you are doing a 4k camera and you can not show footage?
21:02
guesst
silly as blackmagic :)
21:02
guesst
at least they got a brand
21:09
Bertl
we will do 4k snapshots and full HD footage, the prototype cannot handle more output
21:10
Bertl
it is a limitation of the zedboard's I/O
21:10
guesst
there are lot of other boards with fmc
21:11
guesst
i suggest to get some of those
21:11
Bertl
send us one
21:11
guesst
you can borrow one from xilinx dist
21:11
guesst
i got some older, they are not fmc
21:11
guesst
consider it, gotta go
22:15
troy_s
Oh god.
22:15
troy_s
4k. 4k. 4k.
22:15
troy_s
Junk bullshit numbers everywhere.
22:15
Bertl
yeah, 4k looks completely different than 2k :)
22:16
troy_s
Such idiocy.
22:16
troy_s
Using the mythical numbers of the sunglasses-cum-camera vendor, the Panavision Genesis mark one was a 6k camera.
22:17
troy_s
The _only_ 4k camera currently on the market is the Sony F65, and I am quite certain no troll in this channel has ever touched one.
22:18
troy_s
(With perhaps an exception for rexbron)
22:25
Bertl
hehe
22:43

time for bed

already later than usual for me :)
