Software
Elphel Vision
We are working on a touch screen based camera control interface with all basic camera controls, live preview and probably an integrated file browser to view the recorded files on the HDD. This interface will work together nicely with the hardware buttons and rotary encoders (see Dictator project) and/or a touchscreen tablet PC.
Concept Design for the Elphel Vision software.
The interface before the 0.3 Alpha release.

Task: Video Clip Browser
We are looking for someone to develop a clip browser that allows: easy transfer of recorded files from the camera to a host computer with validation (md5 most likely), easy viewing of copied clips with navigation-timeline, viewing of metadata/exif tags, transcoding of video files to different formats (JP4 sequence to DNG sequence for example). Ideally this clip browser is platform independent.
Similar to Sonys: XDCAM Clip Browser or Panasonics P2 Viewer

Video-Codecs used by the camera
- Quicktime *.mov (MJPEG compression, Jpeg quality can freely be adjusted to anything between 0-100%),
- JP4 RAW (requires post production)
- Ogg Theora *.ogm
- JPEG sequence (with EXIF data (camera parameters) plus optional tags like geo information/GPS coordinates).
Future codec may be
- Dirac
- series of dng files (adobe standard for digital negatives)
other recording software
- video disk recorder and file browser (camogmgui)
Post Production
