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.
Cheers
Grumpy

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

« Last post by Sorchey on February 13, 2024, 07:44:30 AM »

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):

https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/chronos-14-high-speed-camera-8-gb-ram-color-(gebraucht)-1252744000/

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

Hello,
Plug the small end of the data cable into the micro-USB port on the camera.
Thanks

Thanks, hummingbirdography,

I got it to 7.0.1 with flashing the micro SD card with the .img ✌️

Best regards,

Thanks. The problem is that the updating process won't go further than that screenshot that I attached. From reading the manual I would expect it to lead to a "install now yes/no button" pop up after that. But it is just stuck there... far longer than 3 minutes.

Sounds like the simplest option is to remove the microSD card and flash it with the latest firmware.

Otherwise, if you're feeling brave, you could SSH into your Chronos and update your package sources. Once your sources are updated to reflect the archived Jessie packages, the Chronos firmware updater should start working for you again.

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports-debian.list

Code: [Select]

deb [arch=armel] http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb [arch=armel] http://archive.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main contrib non-free

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/multistrap-debian.list

Code: [Select]

deb [arch=armel] http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free

Make sure to run `apt update` after modifying the above two files to reflect those archive.debian.org urls

I have this cable as well. I am looking for a way to connect that cable to a computer to get the data off that drive...

Maybe adapt the eSATA cable to USB with a product such as this? https://www.amazon.com/ShineBear-Converter-Adapter-External-Compatibility/dp/B07NNT9P58/
