4GEE Action Cam file splitting

Hi all, I've just purchased one of the new 4GEE action cams and am using it out running or cycling. If i'm out for any length of time then the camera is splitting the video up into roughly 12 minute segments. Is there any way i can turn this off so that the entire video is recorded to one larger file as I have plenty of room on the memory card. EE said it was to do with protecting people's data allowances but I have my data turned off and I'm not streaming anyway. Thanks in advance

Hi (and , ), I checked in with someone on our Action Cam team and found the information below. I hope it helps! Let me know.
The camera supports FAT32 which is basically how the camera more efficiently stores memory. We’ve designed the camera so it splits files every 2GB of data making it easier for customers to download each segment. The camera doesn’t stop recording but for example an 8GB card would have 4 split files making it easier to download and edit those files.
So - I'm afraid you can't switch it off, as it's not a setting that can be changed. Unfortunately not. It’s a software thing so not a setting that can be changed.
Will that work out ok for you in the end ? Your feedback using the Action Cam is really useful so if there's anything from your experience which I can pass back to the team - I'm all ears!

Corrupt Files on 4GEE Action Cam

Hi Friends I have this 4GEE Action which to fair is usually a fantastic bit of kit, except I keep running out of data from streams but thats another story. Recently Ive been usng it with a 64GB Samsung SD Card and have done since having it. For some reason all my recordings past a certain point are corrupted and wont playback on quicktime or VLC (I should point out im using a Macintosh) I have re-formatted the card and that seems OK, Reset the action cam and that seems OK as well. The camera does pick up the full 7hrs of recording time and the 16K+ of photographs so clearly the memory is readable on the card. Is anyone able to shed some light on this? I go on a diving holiday in 10 days so would love to work this out. Many thanks for any help you kind people push my way.

ive got the excact same problem

4GEE Action Cam - account access problem

Not sure if this is the best place to ask as it's more to do with the app you have to install on your phone to use the camera. But I am in the app, on the "Settings / Your Account " page, I press "Data Management" it says I need to be paired to the camera to view. So I turn on the WiFi and pair up to the camera, go back to the page and it now says I need to be connected to the 3G/4G network to view. So I am caught in a trap. I cannot have both WiFi and 3G/4G network on at the same time so how am I meant to view my account?

Hi
Sorry about that a bit of confusion there!
Right from what I found you can't check your data allowance via the app. You can see the data usage alert texts in Settings > Your Account > Messages.
You can purchase more data via the app.
But to view remaining data you would need to log in to My Account. Click Here for the help & Support pages.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Is there anyway you can try to get more images/videos for the Battlefield Hardline? Personally I found BF4 a disappointment from BF3 so I am still 50/50 on even ordering this one.
Any news for PC GTA V yet?

Action Cam, Recording blank files

I have an action cam with a 64gb Sandisk Card, when i set it to record it will record files of 10-12 mins at a time instead of continuous, which is fine, but after 4 files the 5th an on are totally blank, they had a data size, 1.77gb, a file name as normal, and a type .mp4 as normal. But there is no no video same with any photographs, the are all blank........ When I later added a new file without the watch it was a blank file again, if using the watch instead of just the button on camera, it works fine again. Does this mean I need to always use the watch, I paddleboard and the watch is just a pain to use all the time....

I was having exactly the same problem and fingers crossed I have sussed it. Well it worked for me, hopefully you too! The problem I had was I got a 64GB card and noticed as soon as the clip got to anythinging bigger than a few hundred MB it would not download to PC or play back for love nor money, either through the PC or the Camera app on iphone/ipad etc. I have seen EE's advice, download VLC. Well I tried that and I tried every player I had, Itunes, VLC, etc etc, all coming back with various messages, mainly saying the codec must be corrupted. EE were unable to help so..... Try formatting the card from the camera itself and not in the PC. It's in the settings, just go through the menu and you will find it. Format it in situ and voila! Now I did not do this previously beacuse as soon as i got the card and put it in the camera it seemed to work fine as I did a quick short clip to test it. It seemed that as they get bigger they did not work. Unfortunately you will lose everything you have recorded and you will not be able to recover them. I can say it has worked perfectly since, any size and EVERY time. Good luck and if this works, pass it on! It seems a common problem so hopefully, if this works for everyone, EE will add it onto the quick links.

Camera file generator timeout

Time out came up on Camera File Generator
Hi
Recently I use Camera File Generator Version 2.1.1 to control a CamraLink camera through IMAQ PCI-1428. When I grab the image "Acquisition Timeout" message came up. I changed smaller image format, but it was still same. I succeed communication with this camera through another serial communication software. It seems camera works, but an image does not come up.
And one more thing, I just want to use a camera with default setting. I expect I do not need to send any serial command. Should I do some action ?
Thanks lots,
Kevin

Hi Burrito,
Sorry for late respond, Now I got an image after changed the camera setting and setting on IMAX. I can see an image on both of software. It seems camera was not recognized on IMAX. This was main reason. Thank you for your help.
Best,
Kevin

Oregon Scientific ATC5K action cam - does it work with iMovie / Leopard?

I'm looking at getting an ATC5K for a skiing trip but the specs say it is only compatible with OS X 10.4 (Leopard) and below. Can anyone confirm if it works ok with 10.5.x and iMovie?
Thanks

I've just got my ATC5K and I can confirm that you can import the AVI file format from it into iMovie without converting into a DV stream. iMovie will not pick it up automatically, you have to use the import movie option, but it works fine. As an aside, iPhoto picks it up automatically and treats it as a camera movie which at then end of the day I guess it is.
For a cheap, entry level action cam it's pretty good and I can't wait to try it out in anger on slopes!

Camera file for Bonito Camera color

Hi!
I have the new Bonito color camera and a NI PCIe-1433 Camera Link Frame Grabber Card.
I would like to know if someone already develop a camera file for this camera (http://www.alliedvisiontec.com/emea/products/cameras/camera-link/bonito.html)
Thks

Hi,
Thanks for posting on our forum. The link that you gave is not telling us what camera you would like to use. Perhaps you could use the following software,
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/fr/nid/14207
Remind first to check that there is no file already created there:

Camera File for Pulnix TM-6710

I'm using Pulnix TM-6710 with NI PCI-1422.
I found camera file for TM-6710 from IMAQ folder.
But, I could not tell how to connect TM-6710 to PCI-1422. (There is no information at all in both NI and PULNIX).
Pls, let me know,
1. Pin connection btw. TM-6710 and PCI-1422
2. Camera file for TM-6710 lists upto "Line (7)".
What is the physical pin numbers for Line (0) thru Line (7) ?
3. The meaning of "Pattern", "Action (PG)", and "Line"
in camera file.
4. The meaning of "100, 3000" in "Line (7) { Start (High) 100, 3000 } "
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Attached is the pinout for the Pulnix TM-6710.
The Pattern, Action, and Line commands are used to control the pattern generation of the 1422 and should be transparent to the user. The NI-IMAQ driver level software uses these commands.
The numbers you are referencing in question four are used to set a minimum period for the overall pattern generation cycle and should also be transparent to the user.

Camera file 1422

我在使用1422采集卡连接相机时遇到一个问题，附件是相机文件，在NI max中打开时遇到一个错误，Error0xBFF60108:the camera file does not support the current interface type, 在相机文件里面已经有了Action (Interface, 1422) 。
附件:

Thank you for the reply.
We created that camera by ourselves. You may see it specification here : link.
The scan type is "line scan". There are 3 CCD lines 7926 x 1px 8 bits each with different parameters (1 line for red color, 1 for green and 1 for blue).
The data from that lines goes to a onboard imaging signal processor.
At the output of the camera (and the input for the NI 1422 card) we have signals: 2 parallel stream video data and one pixel clock value.
At the input for the camera we have to send: master clock value, enable bit (consnantly "1" after switching on) and data ready bit (switching from "0" to "1" when the new frame is required). 1 frame consists of 24064 8-bits values ( 7926 x 3 + 286 values of frame header data).
We have connected these pins:
(1422) pin 1, 2, 3, 4 to (camera) Data 1, 2, 3 ,4;
(1422) pin 41, 42 (Enable A) to (camera) "enable bit";
(1422) pin 43, 44 (Enable B) to (camera) "data ready bit";
(1422) pin 91, 92 (MasterClk0) to (camera) "master clock value";
(1422) pin 99, 100 (Gnd) to (camera) "gnd".
All other pins from the 1422 card are not used.
When i'm trying to set a width "7926" in NI Camera File Creator, i press "ok" and recieve an error: "Maximum Image Size has been adjusted to accomodate the Tap Configuration you selected." and then another error: "Fatal error ccured at: NI-IMAQ: The ROI width is not properly aligned. The total number of bytes bounded by the ROI width must be aligned to a 4-byte boundary." After that the program goes back to title menu with buttons: "Create New Camera File", "Open Existing Camera File", "Help" and drop-down list with NI 1422 card selected.
Kind regards, Alexander.

Deleting photos from Sony Action Cam using desktop computer

Hi Simple question and there will hopefully be a simple answer: How to delete selected photos from my Action Camera using a desktop computer? This is obviously one of the most basic things I should be able to do without having to post a question. Now I can only delete photos via smartphone or live-view which is slow and annoying. ThanksS

Hi Upeer,
Welcome to the Sony Community!
To delete photos or videos using a computer, make sure that the camera is securely connected and USB shows on the screen of the camera. Open Computer/My Computer. You should be able to see Removable Drive. Open Removable Drive and then open DCIM folder. Inside the DCIM folder, it will contain another folder, just open it and you will see all the photos and videos recorded in the memory card of the camera. You can highlight the files you want to remove using the delete button on the keyboard.
For further assistance regarding your concern, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

TV@nywhere File Split Size limitation?

I have been recording videos and wanted to set the File Split Size to 690mb, leaving some slop room, so the mpeg files would fit on a CD. I ran several tests and found that this file split size made no difference at all. The program would split on the defaults at about 4063mb.
Any others have problems with this?

The crappy software supplied with the TV@nywhere range is very buggy and one of the bugs is the file split option. I found that no matter what size it was set to within MSIPVS it would nearly always split the file at the default split size even with an NT file system. This is probably a registry entry problem, so you may be able to by-pass the software via the registry but do not attempt it unless you are happy editing the registry.
I personally never trust any software to split my video files and perfer to capture the video as one complete file (not possible with MSIPVS unless file is smaller than the default split size because of the bug) and then split it manually at more suitable points within the video. You can use Tmpeg, VirtualDub or simular to proform the splits. By do it this way you do not get people cut off in mid sentence or find you have to change CD etc part way through an action sequence.

Action cam and vibrations

I just got an X1000V. It works great most of the time, but today I attached it (by suction mount) to my snowboard. NONE of the films worked. For some reason the files corrupted. Sometimes when I stopped and checked the camera it had 'hung', it was unresponsive. Has anyone else had this problem? I'll probably take it back under warranty.

Hi pletharoe,
We're sorry to hear this. The action cam can be used in temperatures between -10°C and +40°C (14°F and 104°F). We would recommend sending the camera in for further evaluation and repairs.
For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
