NX500 - mod / some scripts

[Kino Seed]

Some scripts for making life easier (NX500):

Waking-up from hibernation (half-press shutter) and remembering last focus distance:
in test.sh

1. af_info=($(st cap iq af pos))
2. st cap iq af mv 10 $(($(head -n 1 /mnt/mmc/hib) - ${af_info[2]} )) 10

Of course to hibernate (and save focus distance first) a quick double-click-ev ( EV_EV.sh ):

1. af_info=($(st cap iq af pos))
2. pos_temp=${af_info[2]}
3. echo $pos_temp > /mnt/mmc/hib
4. sync
5. sync
6. sync
7. sleep 1
8. systemctl hybrid-sleep

Focus-Pull (setting a focus distance, and jumping back and forth) using environment variables Ev+HalfPressShutter ( EV_S1.sh )

1. af_info=($(st cap iq af pos))
2. pos_temp=${af_info[2]}
3. tii=($(systemctl show-environment))
4. for i in "${tii[@]}"; do if [[ $i == "pos="* ]]; then pos_mv=$((${i:4} - $pos_temp)); fi; done
5. systemctl set-environment pos=$pos_temp
6. st cap iq af mv 10 $pos_mv 10
7. exit

Here are packed along with a few extras including the keyscan from Otto K
(included: silent shutter, and removing video-record limit in case you didn't want to bother doing manually)

http://authors-vault.com/NX500-KS-RC1.zip

note: in video-mode, focuss-pull should not be used, and direct hibernation from video should be avoided.

As you see it's just script-kiddie stuff, but for sake of legality - no implied warranty, use it at your own risk.

Great work, keep it coming

Collection of small utilities for bash scripting added to github repo:

• popup_timeout ["text message"] [timeout_in_seconds] - displays a popup message for a given number of seconds
• popup_ok [message] [ok label] [cancel label] - displays a OK / Cancel dialog, returns 0 if OK, 255 if Cancel
• popup_entry [message] [OK label] [cancel label] [sample entry] - displays an entry box with OK/Cancel buttons and prefilled sample text, returns entered text and 0 code for OK or just 255 for cancel.

Nice utilities to help with flexible settings. BTW why your compiled versions MUCH smaller than mine? your like 6kb -mine 500kb

yesterday tried to compile keyscan, it compiled but as i said size was much bigger.

PS i compiled in ubuntu.

 

[otto k]

Are you compiling static? That includes all library code in final executable.

Ok, this one needs a bit more love.
(not sure how to get it to work from a file.sh)

Press EV+Rec, a global variable gets declared (so we know that we want to keep recording), and a loop starts that simulates "press record", waits for the clip to be recorded for X-amount of seconds (should be less than max rec time), and after that time passes, simulates "press rec" to stop recording, and "press rec" to start a new file and continue recording.
To stop the continuous recording, just press EV+Rec again.

sounds simple, and I got it to work when I paste the code in telnet, but not from the keyscan nor just running sh -v EV_REC.sh

tried to debug, but seems when it's run by sh it throws different errors,
including things like taking "\r" with the value at a new line
and the second calling of "st key", sometimes throws internal errors.

#####EV_REC.sh#######

#Set recording length in seconds / ex. 9 for testing 900 for 15min
recording_length=9

tii=($(systemctl show-environment))
for i in "${tii[@]}"; do if [[ $i == "rec="* ]]; then rec=$((1-${i:4})); fi; done
if [ -z "$rec" ]; then rec=1; fi
systemctl set-environment rec=$rec

until [ $rec -lt 1 ]
do
st key click rec;sleep $recording_length;st key click rec
tii=($(systemctl show-environment))
for i in "${tii[@]}"; do if [[ $i == "rec="* ]]; then rec=${i:4}; fi; done
done

any ideas how to get it to work in a useful way?

actually it was some windows "coding" that messed up the script, my bad.
so it's OK, and works great (from telnet), but as soon as you try with keyscan, loads extremely slow (5-6sec), and barely works after that =/

If you ever wanted a quick switch between for example FHD/25p/PAL and UHD/30p/NTSC, this should help.

It requires popup_timeout (curtesy of Otto k) to be present in your /sdcard/script directory (so you can get some feedback on what it's doing). Download it here: popup_timeout

There are 2 different profiles, that you can load with EV_UP and EV_DOWN.
With EV_LEFT and EV_RIGHT you can save any two profiles.
So just set up your profile as you want it, press EV_LEFT, and it will be saved. Whenever you want to load it press EV_UP.

#EV_UP.sh
[ -f /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_up ] && $( prefman load_file 0 /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_up;prefman save 0; sync;sync;sync;/mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "PROFILE EV_UP LOADED" 2;reboot ) || /mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "Preset Missing" 3

#EV_DOWN.sh
[ -f /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_down ] && $( prefman load_file 0 /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_down;prefman save 0; sync;sync;sync;/mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "PROFILE EV_DOWN LOADED" 2;reboot ) || /mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "Preset Missing" 3

#EV_LEFT.sh
[ -d "/mnt/mmc/presets" ] || mkdir /mnt/mmc/presets
prefman save_file 0 /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_up
sync
sync
sync
/mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "PROFILE EV_UP SAVED" 2
exit

#EV_RIGHT.sh
[ -d "/mnt/mmc/presets" ] || mkdir /mnt/mmc/presets
prefman save_file 0 /mnt/mmc/presets/preset0_down
sync
sync
sync
/mnt/mmc/scripts/popup_timeout "PROFILE EV_DOWN SAVED" 2
exit

Please note the EV_UP.sh and EV_DOWN.sh are one line!

The code backs up (and restores) a lot more than a few of the video-profile settings.
It will backup and restore most of your camera settings.

The profile presets are stores in /sdcard/presets/ and can be copied and worked with as with any other file (so you can have any number of profile files, and load only those two that you need for the day).

Thank you very much, Kino Seed!

I may be stating the obvious, but in any case, to get the most out of the DR set they GAMMA to V, and make sure you won't lose any tonal resolution (so keep 0 - 255).

#GAMMA_CONTROL_STANDARD (0x760000),
#GAMMA_CONTROL_GAMMA_V (0x760001),
#GAMMA_CONTROL_GAMMA_D (0x760002)
st cap capdtm setusr MOVIE_GAMMA_CONTROL 0x760001 &

#MOVIE_LUMINANCE_LEVEL_0_255 (0x770000),
#MOVIE_LUMINANCE_LEVEL_16_235 (0x770001),
#MOVIE_LUMINANCE_LEVEL_16_255 (0x770002),
st cap capdtm setusr MOVIE_LUMINANCE_LEVEL 0x770000 &

"MOVIE_MASTER_BLACK_LEVEL" apparently can be set to any positive value (70 is accepted too), but on NX500 shows no change, if you want, give it a try on NX1:
st cap capdtm setvar MOVIE_MASTER_BLACK_LEVEL 25 4

Here's a way to change the bitrate with poker.
(should be much faster)

Otto K's creation "poker" can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/ottokiksmaler/nx500_nx1_modding/blob/master/poker

I used vasile's bitrate mod, as a basis on this one.
(keep in mind the NX500-pro, bitrates are different than the others, otherwise is straight forward)

(assuming you downloaded "poker" and have put it in /sdcard/scripts/ )
