modyz Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hi I was browsing in my a5100's linux system folders and i found some 4K video firmware files. What are they meaning? Justin Bacle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JurijTurnsek Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Rename them as one the non-4K modes and run it Geoff CB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The a5100 may sizzle and crumble to ash in your hands if they were enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syme Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Sounds like they have something to do with configuring video scaling filters. I highly doubt that there is actually a 4k mode, but modifying the configuration of the scaling filters could still be interesting. Where in the filesystem did you find these? Are you using an unpacked firmware upgrade .exe or examining the system through a remote terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modyz Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 4k functions in hdmi driver (a5100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedazin Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Perhaps a generic HMDI driver for a bunch of cameras, not necessarily mean that the 5100 could use these functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The a5100 and a6000 both support 4K HDMI. When connected to a 4K screen they can show still images in 4K. That said, those screenshots in the first post look like they are for video recording and not for HDMI only stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
