@Bob_Hawk can you send a photo? :)
Sorry Long Time AVK
when planning and testing the conversion of the e1 to active cooling, i came across a few interesting details
1.) sensor cooling of up to 50C to between 10 and 15C is most effective
2.) The cooling is almost invisible with video ( 3D noise reductin ) , with photo especially with ISO values of more than 400 massively less noise
3.) After an update from Izuga E1 to the current Fw, the 1x1 resolution of 2500x2500 disappears this can be fixed / undone with a small hardware hack
My conversion of the E1 to active cooling has meanwhile become:
1.) E1 has become E2 housing hack with active cooling without a ventilator in which the chips and memory are also better cooled
2.) the Accu has grown to 1sLipo 1000mAh
3.) The New E1 box that looks like an RED e2 style eloxal Aluminium Housing 100x100x100mm
Where is @Bob_Hawk ?
Guys, does anybody have iZugar E1 or iZugar's firmware? Are Z-CAM and iZugar E1 different?
@markr041 ...well I've been reading the hero 9 thread and had the notion about e1. Interesting cam, the gopro. ok thanks
@kurth Good question. I am awaiting the screen, and I will try it out on a number of cameras, including this one! Should be here at the end of next week. In principle, if this cam has a 1080 standard stream via HDMI it should work.
@markr041 ...changing the subject , mark if you've got or will get the mod screen for the hero 9, could you evaluate whether it might be appropriate mod for this cam. thanks
Hi, I have a zcam with its backpanel and buttons not working, so far I've been using it thru http. Something went off and I can not connect. Any chance to use the autoexec.ash to start with wifi on, or do a factory reset? Thanks
Watch my messages upper - I told about duplicate frame remover for AE
@storyboardcreativity how do you check for duplicate frames? If I have a program that reads them and deletes exactly same frame will that work?
Output is 29.97 fps and 25p inside it.
So ssd must be 2times bigger than necessary if I understand well!! Sorry for these maybe stupid questions but : If I set e1 to 1080p 25fps, I can shoot in 1/50s, so hdmi will transport 1080p 50fps, which is 2 Time the same picture, record it to ssd in bm shuttle. If I create a project in da Vinci (or other edit software) that is 25fps, and I import the 50fps file, it just remove 1 on 2 frames? So it result with exactly the original 1080p 25fps captured by sensor?
Thanks Hugues
Yes, we have to remove duplicates in post :(
Thanks @stiryboardcreativity. So if I understand well you have to remove duplicate frame in post after the record in bm shuttle? It’s a pitty!!!
Here is test for E1 HDMI luma channel. You can see 8-bit levels on the 1st picture and HDMI-levels on the 2nd (I made legacy AE contrast for clarity). On the second screenshot clearly visible, that between 8-bit levels we have new additional 2 levels.
I used old script for AE... yes, It's stupid :DDD
Used something like this: https://aescripts.com/duplicate-frame-remover/ Don't know for now, but a year ago it worked awful as shit - I had to remake script for new AE versions.
For some reason I really got 10-bits from HDMI for some time ago. Checked it - seems like real 10-bits. Chipset can't encode H.264 10-bit, but seems like it really shows 10-bit video through HDMI (from video buffer before encoding H.264).
@storyboardcreativity that is 24p in 29.97p pulldown. How do you do this pulldown?
I often search through the entire treat. 14 pages are a lot, but they help to understand the E1 and the incompleteness. a gopro 6 is also not a cinema camera, and that's the ugly brother of the E1
if I want to force hard drives to fill I load e1 4k30 material into Davinci and save it in h264 10bit
The following facts are known from data sheets
sensor 10bit max 4k30 4096p24 from Sensor
chipset 8bit e1 recording 60mbit ,,e1 100mbit hack
ALl data move within this framework
on the monitor out max 1080p60 even at 4k30 and the image data comes from the data stream that runs into the memory
(please read the data sheets for the chipset beforehand)
Such ideas have surfaced several times since this treat was created
Does the HDMI of the E1 allow more than 8 bits to be read No
where should 10 bits come from? certainly not from the chipset?
the E1 is what it is and will certainly not reach the performance of an E2 or the Bmmcc4k
Storryboard is the only one that has made real progress
THANK YOU Storyboarrdcreativity
From MediaInfo:
Frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS
It records 29.970 and I remove some duplicates to make it 24p
So the shuttle 2 records at 48fps and you make it 24p in post? Or you record at 24p and it becomes 12p in post?
I recorded 24p from E2, it became more fps because of HDMI - I had to remove duplicate frames
You posted that you used shuttle 2. That only records till 1080p30. How you record 1080p50 so you throw away every second frame?
HDMI frequency is fixed :) So, we have to remove duplicate frames from sequence
