Yeah I was thinking of something like the Micro Studio G2 which I’m not sure has been a massive hit and they could be sat on a lot of stock where a cine driven firmware could kick start a comeback for it. Similarly, a highly configurable custom firmware for its actual intended use of a mini broadcast camera where a broadcaster could make it perform their exact needs would make it more appealing for them. And for suckers like me who have one for both purposes it would be a boon to have switchable firmware to make it more usable in the cine use. With regard to their bread and butter of broadcast, BM do a ton of “digital glue” type of stuff for conversion etc so I could see potential for a black box with HDMI I/O, SDI I/O, Ethernet, USB-C and Bluetooth and allow custom firmware to be used for it’s processor to do the exact type of conversion that you need at different times without having separate discrete boxes. So for example sometimes I want to do some SDI to HDMI, sometimes the other way round, sometimes I want to play media from USB to NDI etc etc but never at the same time. The obvious question would be why would BM only want me to buy one box when I’d have to buy multiple discrete boxes off them to do these tasks ? Obviously they’d prefer that but if I have to buy multiple discrete boxes my budget would dictate that I would have to buy cheaper generic products or secondhand versions of the BM ones - neither of which will generate new revenue for BM. That is very much what is driving the FM-1 take up and, as with that, people would be likely to eventually buy a multiple of the BM black box. Having stripped down open source hardware might well become a necessity to sell any quantity of products at affordable prices in the near future as RAM and storage prices continue their upward trajectory. None of it will happen of course but fanciful speculation a vital foundation block of this forum when things are quiet 😂 -
I spent my recent vacation shooting the OG2K and S16 modes without an external drive and its amazing. This hack is a real game changer for a long time fp user like me. Gyrodata, lossless compression, 1 to 1 pixel readout at FHD and Open Gate. Really all I ever wished for... Finally I can run & gun all my manual lenses and don't have to rely on the stabilised 28-200. My fp was already up on ebay because i switched to the fp L but luckily nobody bought it. I was ready to switch to the fp L for the gorgeous photos and clean FHD but now the fp has the latter aswell plus that mind blowing Gyro magic. If someone enables Gyrodata on the fp L I might reconsider but for now I'm just happily running both (lowercase) fp's. No need to go all caps FP for quite some time. -
I have FPsup running on my FP now and it was pretty painless. I hadn't upgraded the FW to 5.02 yet, so I had to do that first and then went to their GitHub and checked the features I wanted, and it compiled the code and I downloaded it. Unzipped the files, placed them onto the root of my SD card and popped it in... Sure enough it worked... my FP can now shoot OG2K, OG3K and S16. An initial test at home went smoothly. I was even able to get 30 seconds of OG3K recorded to the SD card for 30 seconds before I stopped it. It was a static shot, so I assume that helped. Gonna head out today and see what some movement will do on a busier shot. I'm really interested in the 3.5K in 2:1 but I assume I'll have to use an SSD for that. As far as the FP-L, I assume someone will work on it. The Dev isn't planning to do it, but he kinda pointed people in the right direction. -

If Blackmagic do, I think it will be for only a very small subset of their products. Half of the things that they announced at NAB this year are basically "computer in a box with special secret software in it." Plus they might say that they're not really holding anything back with their cameras. -
You look great : ) It’s perfectly in keeping with the tone of your posts as always, and we’ve gotten used to it BTW ;- )
