raw video data

<< < (2/2)

tretee:
The buffered and slowly downloaded is expected and exactly what I am looking for.
Some kind of API over ETH to control the camera would be great as well.
In my case I need to start/stop recording continuously. It's only in some rare cases that I want the raw video.

The way it works now were I have to press the "OK" button on the "unsaved warning" for every start makes sense for most I guess but it's very annoying for my use case.
Hopefully that will be doable over the ETH as well.

Raw saving of files is now available in the newest beta software. It will only save to SD/USB/SATA drives but you can download the saved video to a computer using the USB-OTG port by scp'ing from the camera. On the latest update USB should give you a network interface and you can log in using root with no password. The file location is listed under the save setting dialog.

An API to control the camera, stream video and get video directly without going through saving it to local media is in the works but still a ways off. There are some major changes needed for the camera application itself before that becomes available. It is quite high on our priorities once we get the major bugs worked out.

Hello. I also use the camera in a research environment and normally analyse high speed camera pictures (in TIFF or Jpg or bmp) in Matlab. I have tried various saving options in this camera but none seems to have high enough resolution to be of any use in my contour-detection code. I see the fuzzy object boundaries, which I think is down to compression. Can anybody please suggest appropriate saving options to reduce compression? Thanks a lot! I have the colour version.

Sorry about the late response.

The raw formats don't have any compression applied. They're currently not packed as TIFFs(DNGs) but it's in the works to do so.

Anyone interested in accessing all except MP4 files recorded by the Chronos cameras might take a look at the Matlab/Octave code I have posted here:
