Hello, Has anyone looked at, experimented with, considered, or dismissed the idea of connecting their camera/KIWI-OSD to an Archos portable recoding unit? Paul...
... The issue was raised a couple of years ago on the IOTA forum - but I don't think anything became of it. At first glance it seems a perfect combination of...
Hi all ... I have used a similar unit for recording grazing occultations. My feeling is that it works fine. However, I haven't done any tests to see if the MP4...
At the risk of sounding stupid (too late),I need help with VirtualDub. Preamble: I have a KCP-350BH camera + KiwiOSD linked to a Belkin F5U228 USB2 High speed...
Without getting into a lot of detail, you state you have VirtualDub set to Direct stream copy using 'PAL' 29.97 fps. Well PAL is by default 25 fps, so that is...
Thanks Tony, I suspect getting a camcord as you suggest is the right way to go. I have a fix Dome observatory, so I was keen to use the equipment that I...
Yes, we can sympathize with your frustration. These video capture systems seem to defy logic and patience. What you describe is just an incompatibility...
Hi Paul ... As Tony said, are you using a PAL/CCIR camera? That's a 25fps standard, and normal in NZ. ... It's not dropping frames, just every second field....
Well, for those that are slightly interested, Ive essentially finished experimenting with the Belkin F5U228 high speed USB video grabber with my KCP350/KiwiOSD...
Paul, I use the same capture device and VirtualDub to do all my Occultation work. The combination works superbly and is a joy to use. I will try and emulate...
Well, I'll be damned. I just sent a message saying I was just about to give the Belkin away, but Steve, you have cracked it!! I was on 288 lines. Changed to...
Hello to all, about two months ago we had a thread here about the new Garmin GPS sensor model GPS18x LVC. I purchased one piece and after some weeks of delay...
Gerhard, great work! some of the results are suprising. from recent test regarding the recall we knew the TxD signal was different, but i was surprised to see...
Hello Gerhard Good job! Did you have tryed to know the time between the power on on the newest GPS and the apparition of the first FIX on it? From what I known...
Hello Thomas, ... I did not store a measurement raw about this behaviour but several times I saw a first fix only 30 seconds after the power ON. ... There must...
Vince, ... at the moment I am not absolut sure about but I think this could be the effect of using only one ground point of the two scope channels near to one ...
Hi all. Congratulations to PDF Systems ˇˇˇ Last week send my Kiwi OSD for repair and was fast, secure and more. good communication with the company. ...
... An excellent page Gerhard, thank you. I learned a couple of matters that I had not yet noticed regarding the 18x, so your page is a very useful reference. ...
Please note: Although Gerhard and I have found some minor "issues" with the 18X sensor, these do not impact on normal use for timing. These kind of issues are...
Geoff, ... I run the same test with the same result. What I could see was that the GPS 18x changed the number of leap seconds from 14 to 15 in the RMF sentence...
... I used the "latest" version, the command "Set AutoLocate" is also available on the SNSRCFG software. All the command does Thomas is send the ASCII string: ...
Geoff, thank you for your NMEA records and additional infos. ... No, and I am sorry about because I had forgotten to re-initialize the KIWI-OSD after almanac...
Please click on the link below for an important announcement regarding the future of the KIWI-OSD. http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~geoff36/sundown.htm...
Geoff, sorry to see the end of production for the KIWI-OSD. Mine has always worked perfectly. I don't think I contributed to the support work load at all, I...
All, Let me first say that PFD Systems is NOT going out of business. The decision to stop production of the KIWI was Geoff's and he owns the intellectual...
I purchased a Garmin 18x around the middle of February 2009. With each use of the KIWI-OSD, on the first press of the INFO button, I get the error message...
Richard, I'll bet it was the leapsecond...If the unit you bought in February hadn't been turned on or tested after the first of the year, then the internal...
