@zcream The Apple computer...you can get a PC and do a duel boot with Fedora or Ubuntu. Then use a virtual box to use the Apple operating system within Fedora. It's like a bootcamp on an Apple, except with Fedora. I think you can use any operating system.

I've installed a dual boot of Fedora on a PC. It came from the factory with Windows 8.

I've never tried the Virtual Boxes; I've read about them. It might be worth looking into, though.

The 64-bit version looks good. No stippling.

I noticed that DNG is no longer listed as an output format. Selecting RAW causes the program to record DNGs.

I also noticed that images are no longer saved into automatic sub-folders.

great project zcream im also working on this and sören is a friend of mine but hes busy :-) playing more with the bmcc and the bmpc 4k ;-) tomorrow i will try your flycap2 with my flea 3 and report back that would be so cool when i can now write .dng directly from flycapture! at the moment i wirte .raw and then convert HELL of a work :D also you see fit in c++ and programming any chance for a new gui? just like the gui sören was mentioning in his thread? if i can help drop me a line amazing times :-) here are some of my clips https://vimeo.com/search?q=miniraw1 cheers janosch

thx :-) this project is so much fun :-) i also startet with sörens thread :-) but i was more after slow motion than 4k/3k and the 720p/120fps scales easily to 1080p :-)

one think i learnd is that for fast framerates you need a very very beeefy pc im using an i7 3770t and raid0 ssd and can record continuous 720p 120fps at 12 bit :-) i build everything in an cnc machine case with an 10" screen i was the first with 10" not the black magic ursa ;-) here in action http://instagram.com/p/ezhCAjI8BL/ and here the 10" touchscreen http://instagram.com/p/gqfSS4o8Gb/

Newest version works perfectly for me. Video feed seems smoother.

@jsfotografie Try the new version - just uploaded it. The display windows keeps track of lost frames. If it does not show any there is none. If you want to test it, keep a free timer app for your smartphone and record it. Make sure it has ms precision i.e. 1 ms count.

Updated version has RAW and DNG versions. Just a heads up about Black Level. Flycap2 does not save settings unless you save it to a memory channel. So each time you start the program, its starting with a default 9% Black Level. This is faithfully reproduced in the DNG Header. Inside your RAW, you also have a file with 9% Black Level, but you are not recognizing this. This is why your RAW file is showing as being "lighter" than the DNG. The program works fine.

This is the original version with a bugfix. It can only record from a single camera, and uses a polling method to record and display at the same time. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9906333/FlyCap2-poll.exe

Both versions still display an underexposed image. I suspect this is due to a gamma mismatch. Default QT gamma is 2.2 while Flycap2 converts to RGB using gamma of 1.

I have uploaded the entire project in case someone wants to play with it. Sorry about the delay.

@IronFilm indeed, I have two here as well as a sync generator, but haven't shot footage yet. I'm just working on software that turns a Windows tablet/laptop/PC and some capture device (eg. USB for portable use) into a full featured camera monitor with touchscreen controls.

There's a 3D version that can preview two cams, eg. from a 3D twin rig. Then there's the BMMCC-specific version that can control all the camera parameters (both cams in sync in the 3D version), all from the touch screen. I'm just finalising the remote control code and will have test footage soon.

Hi Does your software only work with Flea3s? I just got impulse-bought a prosilica gt1910 off fleabay but is gigE. The only free option that I can find seems to be firecapture or genicapture but I haven't even installed them yet.

Hey zcream,

Thanks for putting together these modifications. I was hoping to get it working with the Flea3 FL3-U3-120S3C-C but I seem to be having some troubles. I get "Error querying video mode and frame rate Invalid image settings parameter" when trying to connect to my camera. Is it possible that this is due to me having a newer SDK installed on my computer? I don't have any issues when using the PTGrey provided FlyCap application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Dustin

No, I was just trying to run the FlyCap binary directly (potentially using some of my current installed SDK dlls).

Do I need to compile your modified SDK, or can I just install FlyCapture2.5.3.5_x64.exe that you included in the zip?

Thanks, Dustin
