Chronos User Discussion / View recorded frame rate

« Last post by Beephe on January 28, 2024, 08:36:13 PM »

Hello everyone,

I did a bunch of test shots with different frame rates and now I can't remember which one was recorded at what frame rate. Is there a way to view that info in the file? I have the files saved as h.264 and the data I see is the playback frame rate (60 fps).
I appreciate the help!

I believe that although older versions of USB provided greater rates than eSATA, the most recent standards, such as Thunderbolt 4, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps), have generally overtaken it.

There is not a connecting cable for the Samsung T5 SSD and the 1.4 and 2.1 Chronos cameras. Also, the firmware for the 1.4 and 2.1 Chronos cameras is not designed to operate with the Samsung T5 SSD. The camera itself cannot power the drive.

However, the Chronos cameras 1.4 and 2.1 can connect to a SanDisk 250GB SSD through an eSATA to SATA cable. The cable provides both data transfer as well as power through eSATA. If you are capturing video and recording it in an uncompressed video format, i.e. RAW, TIFF or Cinema DNG, it is the quickest saving option.

Hi AIIS,

Can you please describe how you are triggering and synchronizing the cameras?

I am interested in your setup

Hello AIIS,
 
I just want to add a quick comment to David's reply.

You can use the Shutter Gating function. With it you can control the exposure time. The exposure time is set by the duty cycle of your input pulse.

This gives you the ability to freeze the motion of the propeller.

If your external device allows you to add a time delay, you can even record single frames of the propeller at different angular positions.

One way to test if your camera is functioning correctly is to use a lower frame rate. Here you can adjust the frame rate to your liking. The camera needs more light than a standard camera because it starts with a high frame rate by default.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: Sigma lens less price to alternate Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon F zoom lens

We have chronos 2.1 hd camera (Monochrome) do you have any other lens similar to Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon F zoom lens.Since the price of Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon F zoom lens is high we need sigma or any other make lens at price range betweeen 400-600 usd.

Yes, there are several other lenses similar to the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon F zoom lens that are available for under $600. Here are a few options:

Tamron SP 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2: This lens is a great all-around choice for the Chronos 2.1 HD camera. It is sharp, fast, and has excellent image quality. It also has vibration compensation, which is helpful for reducing camera shake when shooting at slower shutter speeds.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR: This lens is another great option from Nikon. It is slightly more expensive than the Tamron, but it has a few additional features, such as a fluorine coating on the front element that helps to repel water and dirt.

Sigma 24-105mm f/4 Art: This lens is a good option if you need a bit more reach than the 24-70mm lenses. It is not as fast as the other two lenses, but it is still a sharp and well-built lens.

Yeah true.

Plug the small end of the data cable into the micro-USB port on the camera.
Plug the larger end of the data cable into a USB port on your computer. Depending on your computer operating system, the device appears as either a removable drive or a removable volume on your computer.
