Read further below.[/b] Speaking of DIGIC - I've found a few image filters in Canon's image processing pipeline; these can be enabled or disabled very easily. You can find 3 of them under Movie menu (those are grayscale recording, negative image, and something that looks like purple fringing). These functions which use DIGIC registers are found usually by trial and error (changing the values in these registers blindly and writing down what they do). There are thousands of registers (many of them unused), so analyzing all of them by brute force is a huge task. If you would like to help with this, let me know and I'll prepare a special autoexec.bin (you don't have to write any code, but you shouldn't be afraid of lockups, ERR70's and other similar things). The following functions were implemented by changing DIGIC registers: FPS override, Highlight++, display saturation, display position adjustment, custom color palettes, and today, image filters. Other possible functionality: [b]clean HDMI out[/b], moving the recorded box around in crop mode, custom curves applied to image, anamorphic preview... etc. The good news is that DIGIC commands are the same on all cameras. This can unlock many things that previously were thought to be impossible or very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmMan Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Here is what Alex, the Magic Lantern "King", has recently stated: [i]a1ex 23 minutes ago Looks like we are making progress in understanding how to [u][b]reconfigure sensor scanning modes[/b][/u], [u][b]image processing pipeline[/b][/u], [u][b]output device[/b][/u] and so on. No promises for now, just some hope.[/i] Hmmm, things could be heating up very nicely for the dslr people. "Reconfigure sensor scanning modes" - that sounds very interesting indeed!

FilmMan Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Let's hope the Magic Lantern People show up the camera companies in a huge way (they already have but...things may get alot more exciting...). Here's some info on sensor and picture image.

FilmMan Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 It'll be interesting if the Magic Lantern Team achieves uncompressed 1080p HDMI out. If not, it'll be interesting what the video specs of the new Mark 5d iii will be. For interest sake: The HDMI output from the Canon HDMI is limited to 1620x1080 (3:2) while the camera is not recording. This requires the user to crop the footage from the external recorder to 1620x910 (16:9) and then resize it to either 1280x720 (79%) or 1920x1080 (119%). When the camera is recording, HDMI output resolution is limited to only 720x480 (effective image resolution is 640x388, which represents a stretched 3:2 frame).

markm Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just wondering if they did achieve uncompressed hdmi out would it be 4.2.2 or 4.2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
