Software Dev / Re: Chronos V0.7.0 Full Release

« on: September 03, 2021, 01:14:58 PM »

So I was able to get a SanDisk 64GB u3 card to work. I get a popup message when I insert the card that says there is no High speed media available.  This was making me think it did not support it but was able to write to it.  This was still on 0.6.0, but upgraded to 0.7.0 last night and will try again.

I was unable to get network update to work but was sharing a wifi connection from Mac Book Pro via 2.5G ethernet adapter so will try again with direct ethernet. 

Still trying to get Network SMB saving and eSATA saving working.  Thank you.

Personally wasn't aware of the issue with 64GB u3 cards, but I will ask the team. It may be helpful to send us a support email about this one as well.

Thank you for the quick reply. My bad for assuming ... my brother was with Alterra for 10+ years.

We use a single Lattice ECP5 (LFE5U-85F-8BG756I) in both the 1.4 and 2.1.

You'll see it in David's teardown video here: https://youtu.be/Y_TFiA05tcc?t=294

Thank you for the follow up. Your photos and the video breakdown are great.
Just curious if the FPGA is Xilinx or Alterra (intel) ? Don’t have a lot of time to deep dive right now so hoping someone knows this and sees this reply.

On shoot today and tested yesterday. Wish this would have come out a day earlier as currently saving all 11 seconds CinemaDNG on 2.1 to a 16GB SD card. Have yet to be able to get network or EsaTa working correctly or for it to recognize 64gb u3 cards.

Any fixes for this in the speed improvements?

Curious what the FPGA's in the cameras are?

Chronos User Discussion / Re: HDMI output showing black only

I just replied to your other thread. What I meant below was I was not even sure I was getting a signal every time because I was testing with consumer TV's which don't always show you a signal is connected as well as professional monitors. Your post clarified for me that there is no UI and that its at least making a connection.  I am now seeing 1080p60 connected on the NinjaV pretty regularly but still only getting black signal.  I tried using it on a shoot last night which footage came out fine with 2 Forza 500's and a Nanlite FS300 so plenty of light but still only black signal being sent.

I dont understand, what you are saying here.
 You are still getting a Black output on the HDMI means your Problem is solved or not?
 .
 Note that the Image output via HDMI is displayed quite a bit darker on most HDMI-Monitors i used than on the Cameras Built-In Monitor. In other words, the Internal Screen shows the Image very bright. Dont know if its the Gamma Setting of the Monitor or if its just generally Very Bright or a combination of both, but if you have a dark image on your HDMI Monitor, make sure that this is not the Problem and try to Shoot something brighter with the Camera.

Did a test shoot last night, hooked up the NinjaV hoping I might get it work using some of the methods described above.  Was curious if it was lighting levels as I had done some tests with monitors without a fully lit scene.  Had 2 Forza 500's and Nanlite FS300 so plenty of light. 

Still unable to get anything but black but monitor is sending 1080p60.

Thank you for the reply. I briefly looked at your other post and did a quick test with the NinjaV. I am getting Black output at 1080p60 after waiting to boot the NinjaV after seeing Voltage display on UI of the Chronos 2.1.

Thank you for noting that UI is not outputted as I now know I am getting HDMI connection but just black output.

Chronos User Discussion / HDMI output showing black only

I can get HDMI connected but I am just getting a black signal
On various cables and have tried:

Atomos NinjaV with 6k ProResRAW recording cable
Atomos Sumo 19
32in rokuTV
65in sharp TV
 
Is there a certain trick to getting the Ui output ?
