The CION is now shipping. http://www.newsshooter.com/2014/12/23/ajas-cion-4k-camera-begins-shipping/ Will anyone be trying it? Let me know and I may put you on the blog as a guest poster.

The way it usually works is they have communications managers with a sub team and they gather feedback per region (Europe, US, Asia, etc.) even per country and filter this back to the base, where the Japanese or Korean engineers work to prioritise and finally implement the most requested features so it is very much about consensus. What they really need is a guy like Steve Jobs using the products at base and whipping the engineers into getting it right, based on his dictatorship. Sony and Samsung should simply hire 1 guy and as long as he's the right guy (filmmaker AND technical) they will dramatically speed up the process or improving & designing their cameras. You only have to look at the basic handling flaws and imperfections present in all cameras to see that the design-by-comittee isn't working. And they spend millions on extra staff to collect all this feedback For every good guy giving great feedback like Ed there is the counterweight of some idiot giving bad feedback or irrelevant feedback, like "this dial needs a lock because I'm too idiotic not to knock it by accident in my bag then not check it before shooting!" Or "video is a waste of time, move the record button the shoulder on the A7!" Having said that I do have a contact at Samsung responsible for collecting feedback so I'll send him ours.

​Loved the star shots, would have liked to have seen more of those, without the cloud cover. Looking good!

​Which picture profile, both in LOG? The only way the A7S is going to be noisier is if you underexposed the S-LOG and brought it up in post. That would explain the images you posted. ISO 6400 or 64000? Doesn't the 1D C top out at 12800?!

​Don't know of anyone else yet, but if everyone can keep an eye out and post when they find it, would be great! The A7S doesn't record internally when 4K output is enabled over HDMI unfortunately. GH4 does I think, but only in 8bit not 10bit. NX1 does not and the menus are locked up too.

Any developer can modify, adapt and build on the Linux OS or Tizen and install this on their hardware, i.e. a camera or a computer though... for example the KineRAW cameras run on Linux. Installing it on an NX1 would be a different matter

​Here's a direct link to the source code download http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=nx1 Here are the parts of the NX1 which are open source... Linux kernel, exfat, di/apps/ise-engine-hangul, di/apps/ise-engine-tables, di/network/bluez, di/network/connman, di/network/obexd, di/system/oprofile, external/alsa-utils, external/bash, external/cpio, external/e2fsprogs, external/ed, external/elfutils, external/findutils, external/fsync, external/gawk, external/grep, external/iproute2, external/iptables, external/kmod, external/libgpg-error, external/lsb, external/lzo2, external/mkdevnodes, external/pam, external/pkg-config, external/shadow-utils, external/shared-mime-info, external/sharutils, external/squashfs, external/tar, external/tizen-coreutils, framework/base/acl, framework/base/attr, framework/connectivity/bluez-hcidump, framework/connectivity/dnsmasq, framework/graphics/freetype, magnolia/framework/base/util-linux, magnolia/framework/connectivity/connman, toolchains/tizen-release,  NX1 runs on a Linux based OS,Tizen, which is a branch of Linux that Samsung is coding under the open source license. Could ask Magic Lantern about the possibilities. They're likely to be quite narrow. The NX1 firmware itself is closed source. It's just the OS the camera runs which is open. To gain direct access to the camera hardware and firmware, you'd need to modify a lot of proprietary closed Samsung code. It does have the ability to run apps though, but again it depends on how much control the OS gives these apps of the camera hardware. Probably very little.

Very interesting, thanks Ivar! What's your system spec, in particular the graphics?

It's not the ISP. Be it in Berlin, or Manchester, or Timbuktu I get the slow speeds for 1080p streaming off Vimeo's severs. Sometimes that's why I leave my Vimeo uploads at 720p and just ask people to download the original.

Hi Neosushi. Where did you read about Samsung making the NX1 open source? Got a link? I think the OS it is based on is open source maybe, but the NX1 firmware is probably proprietary.

Feel free to add more photos everyone... no longer the 500k limit, you can just keep posting.

I've never ever had smooth playback on Vimeo apart from with SD or HD 720p, it's constantly buffering when a clip is 1080p, as if bandwidth off their server gets throttled.

Try re-uploading the profile picture. If that doesn't solve the stretching, edit it in photoshop so it is a square. Doesn't matter what size, just needs to be equal width and height.

​Database has switched to UTF unicode character set so yes some characters have been corrupted. You can edit your display name. Try putting the ñ back in and save the name. If that doesn't work let me know on here and I'll edit you in the admin panel!

​Feature isn't required since the editor is WYSIWYG, you preview as you type and images show inline too.

​OK thanks, very useful. Good report. Will look into how to fix it.

Please post a screen shot of the process. Sorry but can't reproduce the error here. I get this... Then it follows OK.

​Premiere CC also has a built in rolling shutter reduction filter. Works pretty well!

Please post any issues here you might have with the new forum software! If you get an error message please cut and paste the text from the page and say what time it happened. If you generally provide as much specific information as you can about how it happened and on what device, which version of browser you are using, only then can I fix it. Cheers and thanks in advance for helping! Andrew

I just tested it on the NX1 and I can get a very nice 4K feed working. Details coming on the blog.

In a moment the system may log some users out of the forums and you will need to login again. Let me know if you have any problems or have forgotten your username (display name). If you have forgotten your password please click the Forgotten Password link on the sign-in screen. Sorry for any hassle, this is the only way to fix the 'Log out' function of the new forum. The login keys stored in the database are out of date now the new system is installed and need to be reset. If you have any problems please shoot me a message here http://www.eoshd.com/contact/ Cheers!

Thanks JG. Yeah really happy with colour from the Samsung sensor. The 120fps samples are coming soon, just need to finish the edit. They are shot from the number 28 tram in Lisbon, a vintage 1930's tram, which didn't quite go fast enough for 120fps so we're talking VERY slow here

It downscales 4K realtime in your edit and takes no longer on the export, I don't see how you save time crippling the image at acquisition

Sorry meant 7Q. That was limited to 8bit HDMI. The new model, I will have to double check.
