#apertus IRC Channel Logs

off to bed now ... have a good one everyone!

good day

morning folks!

who is here?

Dest123: would you like to start?

To be specific, the control channel and the training data, which are nearly done.

supporting the 5 output modes.

I just need to generalize the case of FVAL signal (Indicating the validity of the read-out of a frame) other than that,

care to elaborate shortly on the 5 output modes you mentioned?

6* output modes, sorry for that

each mode will require different data on the control channel

nah, tx

yes but if I understood correctly the control data won't change if only one or both sides were used

DVAL and LVAL data for that matter

to synchronize the receiving side with the output data, a training pattern is sent on the data channel when there is no valid image data to be sent.

both modules are supposedly finished, just need to do one more test, but my simulator crashed again this morning.

that's it for me :)

many thanks Dest123!

Hi!

Like we had in previous version of remote

Yes.. it's under Transition-Task branch in my fork..

thanks

That's it :)

Bertl: is the remote remote webcam working already and remotely accessible?

we do not have a dedicated remote lcd webcam

does it "see" the remote lcd?

yes, it can 'see' the remote lcd, but it is not very detailed

lcd buffer read out is not finished to my knownledge, also would only wokr on single images, not viewing an animation

probably

Ohk! :)

yep! some quick updates from me:

read was reduced from around 1 min to 3 secs! similarly for write

it can be optimized further as well, and it's necessary as we will need to update a lot of registers at once

will add more documentation soon

that's it from me for now!

great! tx!

metaldent: your turn

so i looked at some emscripten docs and tutorials to understand it better

so this week i'll be working more on this, that's it from me!

it'll be something like you guys did with the 3d cad viewer

interesting

vup, please share your news with us!

not too much to report, uni held me pretty busy

I won't bore you with the details this time :)

This is a basic usage example: https://paste.niemo.de/nojuranazu.py

Anyways, this is it from me this week

nice, many thanks!

quick updates from me

hardware production update: all the hardware was collected from tele last week and handed over to Bertl last thursday

I am now in the middle of counting and listing all the remaining components tele returned to us

a huge box

as it bulk closed all channels that had "libera" in the topic there

no big deal, this is our new home here

need to check wiki and gsoc related info as well though

another topic is the 3d cad viewer progress

latest additions are layout fine tuning fixes/updates

font size and spacing was updated

BAndiT1983_: also added a model ID GET parameter in URL

https://apertus-open-source-cinema.github.io/cad-3d-viewer/?part=axiom_lens_cap_v01

can 3D models be downloaded in some way from the viewer?

not yet

will add to workboard after meeting

no threejs retweeted, not onshape, sorry

they now reserve the right to monetize our videos

so they can play ads, insert them during the video, etc.

but thats not gonna work out as we do not reach the 4000h viewtime per year youtube set as minimum requirement

so we will have to live with yt monetizing our content for now

and in addition we can consider/discuss alternatives

like peertube is already being mentioned a couple of times (by rex in particular who did not do the freenode -> libera move )

so far the peertube efforts were not going anywhere because nobody wants to deal with installing/maintaining it

but requirements were not 100% clear yet

but there its rather expensive for what you get

*wants to

any soluton

who pay for storage space to upload videos basically

so its more like a video hosting platform, no ads but paid by creators

what about just using a existing peertube instance?

blender has a big one AFAIK

https://tube1.it.tuwien.ac.at/about/peertube

using a existing instance might not offer the "branding" opportunities hosting one ourselves has we might not need that :)

I had first heard about Apertus from a quora , and had seen videos of Sebastian explaining what Axiom beta is.. I think if it's about reaching to people youtube might be best option still..

TU vienna

I doubt youtube will suggest our videos :)

Bertl: it already does

Actually I got a suggestion once on my feed about the ad campaign of apertus.. where there was a news anchor reporting about disrupt in cinema technology..

*news

if you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx1y0tJcXeU, I see a Team Talk suggestion on the right

but it might be different for another users

right, so to conclude the topic for now, we can continue to discuss this further if anyone has ideas/suggestions

maybe a parallel other platform in addition

Bertl: please close us!

we are missing some GSoC students today as it seems

vnksnkr: manav: where art thou?

ah, excellent, want to report what you need last week?

tpw_rules: I guess you have a few things to report as well, IIRC?

Still more are left to be done before sharing the simulation results..will be sharing them soon :)

hello, yes i can

Also discussed with Bertl on implementing the communication side that's it from me :)

my next step is to prepare some of the pin connector definitions required to access the sensor, then start work on the spi communication for setting sensor parameters

excellent! tx!

that might help with the SPI directly attached to the Zynq if you still want something to test

nice

depends on how long you think it will take to get the sensor ready

which was where I spent most of my free time during the weekend on

there are some cold joints and a bunch of misaligned connectors

and there are some accidental solder 'spills' on components

(i.e. matches what we had in our test PCBs and is more than adequate for our purpose)

(that is electrical and functional tests)

that's it from my side for this week

anyone ele who still wants to report/discuss anything?

MEETING CONCLUDED!

my pleasure!

not at this time.

off for now ... bbl

I was stuck in the office for my internship

sorry couldnt join in earlier

Couldnt do much past week other than that with the internship and uni

back, thanks for the update manav
