Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 19, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'd love to get back into this soon. I've started a thread for people to post regular summaries of the latest progress regarding the hack, since it can be time consuming to read so many posts in the dedicated forum for it, to get a general impression of where things are at. So guys, hit me with the latest news.... Hanriverprod and Blue Fox 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer5 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 bump. Yes please on a summary. I'm reading mention of a high bit rate hack but otherwise can't make heads or tails out of the various threads on the NX1 hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Is there some way to only let Vasele, Otto and the other hackers post here... Then the rest of us can comment in the main thread? MountneerMan, kidzrevil, Beritar and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MountneerMan Posted April 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2016 As a long time lurker watching the progress happen and trying out some of the hacks my self here is a brief summary of main accomplishments. Current hack achievements in no particular order Increased bitrate on both NX1/NX500. So far there is no consensus on the optimal bitrate. Further testing is required by experience videographers who are good at analyzing footage. Added 2.5k full sensor readout with increased bitrate on NX500. I do not own an NX500 so I am not sure what is really happening with this hack. Perhaps someone else could fill in. Removed video record time limit on both NX1/NX500. This is something I haven’t personally tested as I do not need it but reports sound like it works perfectly fine and can be used to record videos that will fill up your card. Fully electronic (silent) shutter on the NX500. Not yet working on NX1 from what I understand. There are currently three main ways to apply hacks to the NX1/NX500. The original method by running in factory mode by running a script on the SD card root called info.tg that can run other apps such as Otto K’s keyscan The WiFi method. Similar to the blue tooth method below but more risky. The best method is the blue tooth method. This is done by modifying the file /usr/sbin/bluethd in camera to execute a scripts that can run whatever other program you want. Telnet (busy Box) can be run from the SD Card to remotely execute any command on camera. Alot of the built in camera commands have been figured out and you can now write scripts to make the camera do pretty much anything you want. Even I was able to written a few scripts . Current progress Lately (past few weeks) the majority of the activity has been around trying to remove the in camera NR for video. There has also been quite a bit of talk about creating a GUI for all the hacks. If you are a programmer and are interested in getting involved I think this is likely the area where you could really help out. If there is anything I got wrong or missed please don’t be shy and call me out on it Julian, Andrew Reid, Flynn and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I have tested up to 160mbps. Impressive leap in quality for sure ! I have ran into problems such as a laggy UI when recording video and a delay when you stop recording. you will notice the lag as you watch the histogram literally freeze while you are recording. So far so good though I will try 140-150 and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
