Yes, I'm using Topaz Video AI for upscaling from HD to UHD.

Yes, I also use Topaz VEAI on my 720P footage from my Chronos 1.4 to 2K with great results most of the time! What settings do you use usually in Topaz VEAI?

This is great! Are you using Topaz VEAI to upcsale to 4K?

Happy April Fools!!! : )


Obviously this is an April Fool's post, but hopefully this gives Krontech an idea for another future camera that is more portable that uses a 1" sensor size. Hopefully by having a smaller sensor size, the smaller the camera can be.

Awesome! How much did you get yours for?

I had no idea we had to use the external i/o trigger cable for segmented mode. I was wondering why I could not get it to work when using the regular record button. I'll try this tomorrow!

How about a Chronos 1.4?

You can't trust the screen on the Chronos 1.4. Try using an external monitor. If you don't have access to one, then try to overexpose a bit more than what you normally do. It's not ideal but helps.

Would you be willing to make and sell these?

Thanks visualtec! Would you be able to record a window mesh for me at 1000 fps? That way I can clearly see the aliasing/moire.

Software Dev / Re: Chronos V0.7.0 Full Release

« on: January 01, 2025, 06:19:30 AM »

I think the only difference between firmware version 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 (the 20220124 build) is automatic re-connection to NFS and SMB network shares on camera startup, and this is still the latest version.

Any updates on this topic? Is further development planned for the 1.4?

Still hoping we can squeeze some more dynamic range or cleaner image on the 1.4. *Fingers Crossed*

Does anybody know which out of the two PL to CS mount adapters will work on the 1.4 and 2.1?

I took some measurements, and I think you might actually be able to get away with their "deep" model. Although the 58mm rear diameter would collide with the Chronos battery compartment, both adapters are designed for a C mount, which the Chronos needs a spacer ring in order to achieve. This spacer might be just enough to allow the "deep" adapter to fit. Alternatively you could stack another spacer on top of it. Anyway, the 4mm spacer model should definitely fit, but as the manufacturer describes, its compatible with less lenses.

Do you have the Chronos MFT mounting plate? You might want to consider a PL to MFT adapter. This one has been working well for me, however you'll need to rig some sort of lens support for it:

Thanks! Do you think adding a spacer ring will mess up in achieving infinity focus?

Can you reupload some DNG sequences?
