@frullaccia please can you elaborate the benefits and your perceiving of the image quality in the nebula-workhorse? thanks.

@frullaccia I prepared this for you, I did no tests yet so I do not know if it will be stable...

It is the Nebula-Boson (the Scalling Tables and Deblocking Tables from Nebula T8 are merged with the Boson)

Boson and WorkHorse Patches for GH2 Hack

• Works in NTSC or PAL
• Developed with PTool 3.65d
• Careful settings for very high image quality with enough stability
• For short takes up to 5 - 8 minutes
• Excellent textures and fine random noise
• Excellent results for images with complex details

Boson:

• SH 720p slot: improved for best textures and fine random noise in low light or high iso
• H 720p slot: same datarate quality of SH, but improved for complex details and low iso
• HBR: can do both things, good textures and fine random noise or complex details
• 24p: constant good noise and good complex details, sweet spot for cinema

WorkHorse:

• A little more stable in 720p than Boson
• Both SH and H slots have slightly less noise quality than boson, but are great for details
• The SH slot has higher datarate than H slot, H slot is an option for better stability
• HBR has same Boson settings but can be more stable also due to share some 720p settings
• Same image quality of Boson in 24p

From seta to sete of Boson (5 versions):

The difference is: seta has the highest datarate for 720p and hbr, the 720p and HBR datarate decreases a little in each version, this is for you to find the best stable version for your camera+card+lens combo. Try the seta first and change if needed.

From setf to setj in WorkHorse (5 versions):

The difference is: setf has the highest datarate for 720p and HBR, the 720p and hbr datarate decreases a little in each version, this is for you to find the best stable version for your camera+card+lens combo. Try the setf first and change if needed.

Memory Cards: Developed with the Sandisk 32GB SDHC Class 10 U1 45Mbps card. Very fast cards recomended. Use TOP memory card, it can improve stability for more continuous time recording, and for use image stabilization and i-Dynamic.

Tips: Manual focus legacy lenses allows more stability. Disable image stabilization and i-dynamic when using native electronic lenses for more stability or load a lower datarate version or use a fast memory card.

Matrix Tables: These versions of september 09 2014 have the Boson and WorkHorse with Flowmotion or Nebula Scalling Tables and Deblocking Tables. Fallback Tables tweaked to deliver more constant size in the frames along the frames's flux.

@frullaccia The versions 09 september are the best tweaked . Nice to see you like the image and thanks for the reports.

@apefos Wow!!! so your saying this latest Boson Patch is better than all the previous ones.. that's just amazing. By the way I found a little trick to get even higher Datarate from Boson. Change setting to PAL and shoot 50fps you will see a little increase in image quality. Going to download this latest one and give it a try will report back later. Thanks a lot for all your hard work Cheers.

@apefos Lastest Patch using both 80mbs - 95mbs card with Panasonic 20mm freezes camera almost everytime after 3 seconds - 5 seconds. Going to test with manual lens next will keep you posted. Also I've noticed a little bit of noise in footage even @ ISO-160 Just a quick observation.

I've tried the new patch - BN setg.

Same thing, camera locks up - card speed error

Hey @JayUKB I'm using it on both 50p & 60p I'm using the patch from page 4 of this topic should be all the way to the top first post. Not the second patch, by the way shooting @ 50p shows a higher I-Frame and image quality, so for now I'm sticking with 50p.

@JayUKB Yeah that's the one. Right now I'm tweaking the lastest patch and bringing down the Bitrate a bit to make it more stable those High I-Frames are the highest I've seen to date.

@TrackZillas @JayUKB

feel free to do all the tweaking you want, this can be very useful, if you find something that can make the superfast to work, please post, because I do not own a super fast card to try.

I think there is no need to use an older version, because the 09 september versions are ok

just the super fast versions are experimental.

Remember if you tweak the datarate in the super fast versions you need to update the top limits to same values (near the end of the ini file)

compare the values you type because lower values than the seta in Boson and than setf in workhorse will not make sense, because the seta to sete in Boson and setf to setj in workhorse already have datarate decreasing in each version, so compare versions than you will see what is the datarate in each version

this will help you to type a datarate that makes sense to try.

a tip: if you get stop recording, try to type the same datarate in both 720p slots, same values in SH and in H, this helps to avoid stop recording. you can try this in the super fast versions, to type the same valeu of the SH in the H.

I have a supposition, just a theory, to explain why the Pal version allows more datarate in 720p. the camera just need to handle 50 frames instead of 60, so the encoding calculations are less in each second, maybe this allows the camera hardware to handle a higher datarate in 720p pal. just a guess to explain.

50fps allows a great slow motion, so maybe the way to get a higher quality is to use the camera in pal, this way cinema production will be 24p and 50p for slow.

this avoids the need of using the super fast versions because the datarate in 720p50 will be more than enough for the best quality in the 09/09 reliable versions.

the datarate in 720p50 is around 82Mbps and in 720p60 is around 70Mbps maximum. the tests from JayUKB shows that the camera is working to record 4GB in 720p50 with the reliable versions with a fast card.

maybe the shutter 1/60 can avoid light flick in ntsc lands when using the 720p50 pal, needs tests.

do tests to perceive if the noise quality in 720p50 are as good as in 720p60 in the SH for low light.

I will need to keep away for a while now, because I need to focus in some tasks which are delayed...

keep up the great reports, it is very useful.

I tried wnebula setd with a lexar card 400x (60Mb). No freezing using manual focus and stabilizer, or autofocus without stabilizer. It freezes when both, AF and OIS stabilization, are on.
