Anyone want to sell me their H2825 unit?

Now for the weirdness of D2825 units. This is different firmware (then I have seen, doesn't match any of @Mac84 originals), but it only so slightly different, as it seems to have a small code patch to Type B, yet Type B firmware works as is. It has 8 bytes more code at 0x1042C8. Just: There...

FFF Infill - Defaults are fine as this is so small it will so near solid anyway Layer - 0.1mm (will help to have a fine print) Material - either as this is not have to hold anything heavy.

I was about to confirm these offset with the D2825 unit I just relieved. However, it seems to run fine on Type B firmware. Have you tried Type B? There is a lot more work before the C code can be added.

Yes, this has all been explained in detail in the original thread (hours for reading for you.) This image is from Feb 2025 (https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/modding-the-kodak-reels-8mm-film-digitizer-firmware-hack.2897/post-35256) This is what the stock lens sees when using the whole sensor...

I have used a dremel too, it will work. 3D printing a new camera housing is something I started to design, never got far on that.

Stock lens resolves about 640x480 for an 8mm frame. Film is about 4000 dpi as the active frame is about 7mm wide (Super8), theoretical resolution = 4000 * 7/25.4 = ~1100 pixels (~1100x820), so you are losing some details. With the 12mm lens, you are using ~1440x1080 to resolve ~1100x820. There...

No guide for the case mod, but I've done four now. However, you should begin the hardware modification until the new firmware is available for Type D units. 1) Remove the camera cover, there are two clip on top and two on bottom, it will just pop off with a little work. 2) Unscrew the four...

Attached to the Type D installer firmware (.BIN) and uncompressed binary (.RBN, use this in Ghidra and editing) in a zip. This is unmodified, stock firmware. For Types A, B and C, there are about 12 months of changes, I don't remember how I determine some of them. Finding the sufficient memory...

There is very steep learning curve to bring type D's up to date, so I will be getting one this weekend to help speed-up the conversion. However I do welcome new developers as there is still so much that should be improved. Tools I use: Serial port enabled Kodak Reels, info here...

Aptina AR0330. Yes on all models I've seen. This not the sensor claimed on the back of the unit.

Thank you, these are helpful. I wanted to see if the frame cadence was different when there is jitter. These two show the same cadence as good captures. So detecting cadence alone will not be sufficient. I have added a crude frame buffer difference test the seems to work, now I have to see if...

Hmmm.. not quite how it works. While there is some disagreement on the resolution resolved for CFA Bayer sensor, it is not half as you theorized, and we aren't get 4:4:4 color from H264 (there would be very little benefit). The sensor has a photo readout mode (not used) and a video read-out...

Yes, that is a type D. The exposure flicking is one of the many problems the firmware hacks help address (and hopefully/eventually for type D too.)

v7.7 is getting close to all the features I would want for MP4 encoding film scanner. The main remaining fix is to either prevent or at least detect the jitter, so that scanning hours aren't wasted. For this I will need your help. This v7.7.1 build only add a hidden debug feature, if not...

Version 7.7 for Type A, B and C (and stock FW recovery for D users.) So nothing for Type D yet, at least now unit can be recovered if the wrong firmware is installed. New to v7.7 - stats and controllable field are written off the video image (bottom right corner.) - there is now an ISO Max...

@WowIndescribable H2324148BKxxxxx is a type C, so you have no need to wait. While the firmware hacks are is still changing, but the quality improvements are slowing. If you can swap the lens, with any recent firmware, you will be good.

At least now Type D users can now be unbricked. The changes in the new firmware are more extensive that any other model. Function addresses have moved, so this might take a while.

While we are waiting for an original image for the new type D unit, progress continues. Currently all my text and histogram rendering using the preview video buffers, the YUV data that contains the lower resolution of the film-scan for display. This is a very useful buffer as I used it for my...
