I am trying to use special format/mode of my IIDC compliant camera (SONY XCD-V60).
How can I specify the format and mode I want ‘jit.qt.grab’ uses ?

Best

Antoine

does anybody have sent some IIDC messages to jit.qt.grab to control a camera ?
I think it will be a solution for setting the correct mode/format (actually Format 7 & Mode 1 to get 180 fps @ 320×240) but the message formating is quite confusing…

I asumme you have to also set frame rate in codec setings to desired frame rate.
One more thing, metrom shoud send bangs fast enought to display all the frames.
Hope that I was of some use. Let us know how thet toy is runing.

no sorry…

I am using a Sony XCD-V60 camera wich can achieve 90 fps @ 640 x 480 or 180 fps @ 320 x 240 in various mode (binning or cropping).
I am looking for a way to choose the mode and format of the camera (as they are defined in the IIDC specifications) with Jitter.

Under Windows, I was able to choose these settings with a small utility provided by Sony and to save the settings.
Under Mac OS X, I can display my cam with Astro IIDC tool but I can’t save the settings…

thanks for your time.

Antoine

Unfortunately, the setting process doesn’t work well.
The image becomes scramble after changing the format, mode or framerate.
I certainly missed something, so I post the patch here.
It uses Llong external from Peter Elsea and some of the Jasch tools (bitlist) too.

One more strange thing is that I can get 180 fps from my camera (still a Sony XCD-V60 whereas the registers says that I’m using the Format_7 Mode_4 which can only bring 90 fps.
Moreover, the jit.fpsgui gone crazy and toggled between 60 and 180 fps.

If I want to go to format 7 the grabe resolution should be set correctly (in my case 1024 768) and the settings compression type to NONE , dept to BEST DEPTH or 256 Gray to get the bayer image, frames per seconds BEST. The only way to check if camera is in the correct mode is to set grabe object in vmode2 and if the image is displayed in bayer pattern then it is O.K..
Every time the camera is opened i have to set the setting again.
Quick time player seems to remember some of he settings , but I don`t know way that is not possible in jitter.

This not work for me, I also noticed that the Format and Mode change with the resolution but when I choose the native resolution of 640 x 480, the format is set to 0 and mode to 1 and it is not possible with these settings to get 90 fps (only available in Format_7)

So I think it is a Quicktime limitation but I’am not sure.
And I hope this can be avoided by using the CSR directly from jitter, but I can’t for now…

But I you need, here is the patch again (still compressed and big)
