Apertus Open Source Camera

Communications

[19:23] <marcin___> This is Marcin from Open Source Ecology. Is the current plan to develop a generalized open source camera platform, or only professional grade? [19:24] <marcin___> I am interested in lower quality sensor chips. [19:24] <marcin___> Would lower cost sensor chips be readily retrofittable, or is that a heavy development task? [19:24] <Bertl> well, the current target is kind of professional, but as it all is open and the interfaces are well known [19:25] <Bertl> it should be fairly simple to attach whatever you have sufficient documentation about to the AXIOM (at least on the Beta :) [19:26] <Bertl> we will feature a "low end" sensor (the cmv2000/4000) as well, but I guess you are referring to sensors below 150 USD [19:28] <Bertl> does that answer your question(s)?

[20:08] <marcin___> Ok. Have you produced any Open Source Digital Camera Design for Dummies materials? We are big on PhoneBloks style modularity, and we are developing such hypermodular machines in the heavy industry space. [20:09] <Bertl> no big documentation so far, but that will come with the Beta [20:09] <Bertl> most information is on the wiki or "in" the source code right now [20:13] == fsteinel_ has changed nick to fsteinel [20:16] == danieel [~Daniel@mongolsko.nat.praha12.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] [20:17] <marcin___> Do you have any Axiom Harware Architecture Design Concept files - showing the modular breakdown and component choices made? [20:17] == danieel [~Daniel@mongolsko.nat.praha12.net] has joined #apertus [20:19] <Bertl> check out the indiegogo page, it probably still contains the most compact information about the Axiom Beta, although we already changed some things based on feedback [20:19] <Bertl> https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/axiom-beta-the-first-open-digital-cinema-camera
