can you guys tell me where in the thread is mentioned the cost of this cute camera?

or if possible, just quote it.
thanks,

prime lens
 

hi rob

A lot of people like the Nikon primes: 24mm 2.0, 35mm 1.4, 50 mm 1.2, 85mm 1.4, 180mm 2.8 I cheaped out and bought some cannon lens for real cheap for the agus 35

Juan: we are using a Wiki to keep track of project status and
devices and whatnot...

http://www.obscuracam.com/wiki/wiki/

Since it is a Wiki anyone can easily add information / devices
that would be interesting now or in the immediate future.

Thank you very much Rob.

All good people:
I try to separate the sales world from my support of this group. In general, I would like any sales oriented requests to come to me privately.

Since there is a lot of clamor, I will toss out the SI-1300H-CL-S pricing - this is the Micron 1280x720x10bits @ up to 60fps for $2395 minus special offers I have made to this group. This includes the frame grabber, power supply, cables and XCAP-lite software.

Juan:
We do not manufacture sensors, only 'cute cameras'. The engineering costs and pre-production runs on sensors can run millions of $$.

You realize I was joking about the "cute" bit. They are actually very serious looking :-)

I made some progress with the SI1300 carema and EPIX frame grabber SDK last night and this morning: http://www.obscuracam.com/wiki/wiki/...evelopmentBlog. This SDK is pretty badly organized if you ask me, but useful nevertheless. (This does not reflect on Silicon Imaging -- the SDK is a product of EPIX, the maker of the frame grabber card.)

that rocks Rob! don't you just LOVE Xcap?? what an easy to use GUI!!!

NOT

Don't get me started on XCAP ... )8-o

hmm..I think this would work for a camera keypad to control the recording software on the PC..I spoke with them and they said it will work for our camera

Thanks Juan. I'm going to read that shortly.

I found a guy that says he can help design and build a stand alone camera using DSP and FPGA stuff with NO computer..like the Kinetta camera..has has been doing DSP and FPGA for years and really knows that stuff...will keep you posted

Please do!

Rob Scott -- thanks for the wiki update -- it's a fun read so far :D

Wiki re-organization
 

Hi all,

I've been reworking the project Wiki at www.obscuracam.com. It's now broken down into a reasonable tree architecture covering the current design focus and future work.

Everything that was in the original Wiki is still there, but moved around into more logical containers. I also put a link to Rob Scott's development blog on the front page as it is really interesting to follow.

I'll spend some time over the next few days culling key pieces from the threads and adding the links to the proper places in the Wiki.

Links that reference technology going directly into the current design can find a home under 'Current Design Focus', and everything else can go into 'Future Design Possibilities'. This is roughly how I've organized incoming ideas in technical projects in the past, and it provides a good first pass filter. Any other methods of organization are welcome as well if they enhance clarity.

Edit: I just read the revised 'Project Overview' link by Wayne and the 2 Robs. Looks great!

Thanks,

Eliot

Thanks Eliot. Just as a reminder, the wiki is here.

Obin: please do. At least everyone could need a thorough
explenation on things like how fast an FPGA you would need,
which chips would be good/best and at what price. Futher
things of interest or integration with an IDE controller, possible
cameralink interface (easiest I assume) and graphics out
somehow...
