Chronos User Discussion / eSATA to Computer...
« on: February 06, 2024, 10:37:42 AM »
Hi! I'm saving tiffs to a 480GB Sandisk SSD Plus via eSata. I thought this was the recommended method, but how is everyone getting their videos onto their computers? Right now i'm switching out the cables (from a 22pin SATA/esata cable to a 22pin SATA/usb cable)...which I worry is going to break down the SSDs pins over time. I tried this cable (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1KYP7U?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) but then the hard drive doesn't show up on the camera or the computer...any advice is very much appreciated!!
Thank you!!

Chronos User Discussion / Save Format Information
« on: September 07, 2022, 04:41:06 AM »
Hi! I was looking for a little bit more information about the save format options on the Chronos 2.1 we have...the H.264, CinemaDNG and Tiff formats I am very familiar with but know very little about the rest of them. What are the pros/cons of using TiffRaw? Or of using Raw 12 bit or Raw 16 bit (how do you open this format?) In what instances do you choose which?
TIA!
TIA!

Chronos User Discussion / Chronos 2.1 Not Turning On
« on: August 16, 2022, 09:51:28 AM »
Hi,
Has anyone had any issues with their cameras not turning on/showing that they're receiving any kind of power? I'm in contact with tech support, but I wanted to see if anyone here had any issue like this they were able to resolve. I've tried multiple different charging cords/locations and different batteries. Nothing is bringing this guy back to life
TIA,
Laura

Chronos User Discussion / Pre Record Trigger Delay <1 frame?
« on: October 07, 2021, 06:50:12 AM »
Hi! I'm back with more weird questions. I'm circling back around again, trying to synchronize two Chronos 1.4 cameras to essentially double our frame rate -IF we can capture interlacing frames-BY having a delay that is exactly HALF a frame long... We are shooting at 25k fps (because we need to maintain what little resolution we have at that rate). So 2 frames at 25k comes up as being .0001 seconds long (at least as shown on the pre-record trigger delay). I cannot get the delay to go any shorter than that...any suggestions/ideas to try? I'm all ears.
Thank you all- so thankful for this "Chronos Support Group" (at least that's what it's become to me).

Chronos User Discussion / Re: How does the Color Matrix work?
« on: August 09, 2021, 03:02:16 PM »
You're absolutely right, I find myself underexposing often. Even when I am pushing to where I am seeing zebra lines and backing off slightly, it still doesn't seem right. I don't have an external monitor for it (yet). When you're adjusting exposure with your monitor, what are you basing your correct exposure off of? Or how are you obtaining proper exposure?
I'm still on this color correcting adventure and have been attempting to calibrate using an xrite passport II but can't seem to get it to where our numbers match up to their given color checker hue values (even after running it through the xrite color calibration software). I just want to make sure we are balancing correctly, it is of the essence for this project we're working on.
Xrite's customer service has been dismal. Would you happen to have any advice?

Software Dev / Re: Will there ever be a 100,000 FPS version again?

I completely agree, while it may not have been pretty- there was still information we were using. How absolutely frustrating.

Chronos User Discussion / Max Frame Rate Possible/Software Version
« on: July 28, 2021, 09:08:52 AM »
Hi,
I am working with two 1.4's and one 2.1 on varying software versions... I am wondering what your max fps settings are and what software version you're using. I've lost track of which update had the highest possible fps, I swore one of them got up to 108k.
Thank you,
Laura

I would also love to know more information on the Custom Color Matrix...I am really struggling to get a pure white balance and would love to be able to understand anything about it.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: Using Two Cameras to Capture 2x the Frame Rate
« on: March 15, 2021, 05:10:01 AM »Could you elaborate on triggering? What is a good triggering system that can ensure if we're shooting at 40k we are capturing alternating frames?

Wow, thank you for your responses!
Not really looking for a 3d view, just trying to maximize the amount of fps with two or four Chronos Cameras. How do you ensure their synchronization?
One of those articles, I could not believe the size of those lights on their little subject! I need those lights! Where on earth do you find ones so large! Wild.
I understand with beam splitting we will need a lot more light.
Thank you all!

Chronos User Discussion / Using Two Cameras to Capture 2x the Frame Rate

Hi,
Has anyone tried using two Chronos cameras to capture alternating frame to therefore double the frame rate?
Thank you,

Chronos User Discussion / What Lights Do You Use?
« on: January 29, 2021, 05:34:10 AM »
I know there is an old thread about lighting but i'm not finding definitive answers.
What lights are you most successful with? We have been using 1000W halogen's but they are too hot for our temperature sensitive subject.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you. I was successfully able to connect without internet via both ethernet cords and a router, as well as simply by micro usb (after installing a specific driver- included in their tutorial section found here: https://www.krontech.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Network-Control-v0.6.5.pdf)
