    Modding the Kodak Reels 8mm Film Digitizer (Firmware Hack)

    Thank you. Tint always acted as saturation control, but is setting went from 25% to 200% (guessing). I just made -2.0 set to 0% saturation, to make working with B&W film easier. Yes 64GB card support is broken. Someone will have to go through all the releases to find out when that happened.

    Trying again for v7.1. I did covered that the base timescale for the MP4 was hardcoded to 60000. To get the frame rate changes correct, a lot of code used 60000 directly at the assembly level. When fixing the 20fps to 18fps, all I changed was the numerator in the frame rate setting. But for...

    Argg! This is Mac issue, it is reading the fps from a different location in the file. ;( I have some more work to do.

    > Also I was seeing 464x224x256 in the WB values on this. Going above 256 for the first RGB value? Correct, users wanted the setting of 0 WB to look natural, however that is not neutral in RGB gains. 464/256 = 1.81 gain is applied to the red channel.

    No (although harmless), but it is showing that the ZIP has changed.

    Seems you did get the update to work. You need to redownload v7.1 within the zip you will have 71a. But otherwise would be hard to tell, also the file date is 10/22 not 10/21.

    Include the unit type in bug report. I'm guessing this is not Type B. P.S. Type C only. Fixing shortly.

    "Official" V7.1 for Types A,B & C Please test if I've broken anything (more, other 64GB+ support and Playback). Changes: Exposure: Went back to ISO 100-400, as was seeing more exposure stepping with ISO 50. White balance: 0 is now normalized to color of the backlight. FPS: is now selectable...

    I could bias the the white balance, so 0 is closer to normal. T // Plus +2.0 to -2.0 if(*whitebal == LVL_P20) { r = 0x1C0; g = 0x100; b = 0x100; } //1.75,1,1 if(*whitebal == LVL_P15) { r = 0x180; g = 0x100; b = 0x100; } if(*whitebal == LVL_P10) { r = 0x140; g = 0x100...

    Setting 16fps in your own firmware is straightforward. Type A/B - offset 0x1fe974 Type C - offset 0x1fe984 0xD2F0 is 54000. 54000 / 3000 = 18fps For 16fps, 16 * 3000 = 48000 in hex 0xBB80 So change the four characters with the .rbn file to 80 BB (little endian), run the NtkTool Pack...

    Enough enhancement already to release 7.0. - Added auto exposure back into preview - Added ISO 50 back to the exposure range - Added Tint -2.0 is now true B&W Let me know if you seeing much jitter in 7.0, as the preview auto exposure was originally disabled to reduce jitter. Now the preview...

    It is very unlikely that there is a macro lens, with sufficient quality, and doesn't require a different mounting position. I've tried a dozen lenses, only one is good so far (with a mount move.)

    Unfortunately change anything in the UI is likely much more work than quality enhancement. All changes are through educated guesses at best, modifying the binary of the firmware, there is no source code to work from. The only UI elements I've successful changed is the boot JPEG, and one word...

    It has an AGC, just not as fast as the stock FW. It is has limits to prevent too much gain lift black too much into grey. The speed of the ACG could be a control, but you will find there is not perfect setting.

    7.0. Will have a fix for the issue would scanning over 16384 frames. New ideas of v7.0 are welcome. I want to add support negative film, as this setup currently does a very poorly. I was looking for the color matrix, figuring the Tint control might lead to something useful for inverting the...

    No unit playback for about 6 months. I didn't even notice I had broken that for ages as it wasn't useful for high resolution quality testing. Goals have always been high quality, even at the expense of some convenience.

    You have found it. That totally looks like the correct lens. And it's priced correctly, it's a nice lens, quality glass.
