Chronos User Discussion / Re: how to connect camera to the PC

USB connectivity with Windows operating systems requires an RNDIS driver. Windows 10 ought to autonomously detect and acquire the file in the presence of an active internet connection.

Confirm the Chronos camera's SMB sharing settings once more. Verify the IP address, share name, and enable status of the share.

Check that the network cable that connects the Chronos camera to your laptop is in good working order. To see if it can access the shared folder, you might try connecting a different device to the same network.

Hello,

It would be most efficient to power the camera via a dummy battery, the camera's power system architecture is designed to be most efficient when running off the battery, since that's when efficiency matters most. The 17-20V DC input will draw approximately 5-10% more power than would be drawn from the battery under the same operating conditions.

From a reliability and convenience point of view, the 17-20V DC input is better protected and will be much more elegant to connect to than using a dummy battery. Additionally, you can leave the camera's internal battery installed while using an external battery on the 17-20V input. For an external battery smaller than about 300Wh, this would get you more total runtime than connecting a battery of equivalent capacity to a dummy battery.

Cheers,
David

Chronos User Discussion / Most efficient way to power the Chronos 2.1 [solved]

« Last post by GrumpyDeveloper on February 28, 2024, 01:00:21 PM »

Hi,
I'm thinking about doing some longer filming without being plugged in a wall outlet at an event.
So my idea is to build/modify/use a big battery pack.
This creates the question:
Is it better (from an efficiency standpoint) to power the camera via 12V on the battery port with a dummy battery or via the 17-20V input?
Having a portable battery bank to generate 220V AC and converting down to 19V is the worst way, that's for sure.

Chronos User Discussion / Re: View recorded frame rate

Shooting at maximum frame rate every time would make comparing MP4 resolution to Chronos's declared maximum frame rate for that specific MP4 a breeze.

If you consistently shot at the maximum frame rate, you could easily compare the resolution of each MP4 with the maximum frame rate reported by Chronos for that particular MP4.

Chronos User Discussion / Chronos 1.4 8GB Color for sale in Switzerland

Hello everyone!

I've had a lot of fun with my Chronos 1.4 over the past few years, but unfortunately I've been finding less and less time to use it lately. I would therefore like to find a new home for the camera.

The camera with the serial number 00066 is from the very early days of Kron Technologies and still works perfectly.

I am from Switzerland and would especially like to address the small Swiss community here. If you are Swiss, I am sure that you have already heard of the Ricardo auction platform, so here is the link (more pictures and a detailed description can be found there):

Feel free to send me a direct message or write in here if you have questions, I will drop by from time to time.

Best wishes,
Patrick
