Alex Uzan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Will that be necessary for the EOR5 ? 😂 ntblowz and Mako Sports 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no_connection Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 We need someone to make a box with a sensor, processor and SDI/HDMI and fittings for water cooling. For studio use or external recorder. Just feed it 5V or 12V for power since you want to rig it anyway. KnightsFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 @no_connection as awesome as that would be, i think it is not practical. At least for desktop PCs, high quality air cooling is quieter, smaller, and better at cooling than water cooling especially after a long run time once the water heats up. If cooling is a priority, redesigning a studio camera around proper air cooling would likely have better results. Moreover with water cooling there is a much higher chance of mechanical failure or leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_connection Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Sure you could stick a giant heatsink to the back of the sensor and have a larger box, it's all the same except where you mount the radiator/heatsink. I would still want to see a solid block with sensor, mount and stuff with fittings on it, as long as you have thermal shut down it shuold be ok. Or maybe a block with a flat back, then you can stick any heat sink or aio of your choice to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 True, its basically down to whether the block it attached with heatpipes or liquid tubing over a potentially longer distance though overall air cooling would be smaller and lighter. It seems more worthwhile to just use more efficient ASIC chips instead of FPGAs. z cam has tiny cameras shooting insane frame rates and great battery life without active cooling.

no_connection Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 CPU or encoder chip is really not the problem, you can cool that with a relatively small heat sink and you will be fine, it really does not take much to actually process an image. What heats up is readout of the sensor and blanking it, and the lower rolling shutter you want the harder it gets. Tiny sensors mean less distance and less resistance so less heat. That is why Sony needed BSI to stand a chance while gh4 shot 4k just fine. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
