MMC and SD:

 

Flash memory is available in so many formats that it can be difficult to know what will work with any particular device. Devices such as MP3 players, PDAs, mobile phones, digital cameras, and personal computers can take advantage of flash memory to bolster their storage capacity, but selecting the right format may be easier said than done.

 

To try to address all of the common formats in one article might be quite a read, so we’re doing a two part series on Flash Memory. Part I of the Flash memory series will focus on two similar, very popular and generally interchangeable formats: MMC and SD.

 

The Basics:

 

Before getting into the details, some background on each card may be appropriate.

“Gauge packages on marine engines have been pretty meager,” says Joe Burke, CTO and co-founder of Chetco Digital, “so we wanted to fix that by boosting instrumentation capability and interfacing with old and new motors.” Chetco offers a path for older and existing engines to convert information to a format compatible with current technology, and they are offering the ability to read from a myriad of equipment on a single display module. Compatible data from a variety of sources can be run through the Chetco Digital system and displayed on a SeaGauge™ touchscreen display, PC screen, or any other compatible NMEA 2000 display. Chetco Digital’s gauges adapt to any type of marine engine and mechanical device, while allowing the user to customize the display and information to their unique needs.

 

Chetco’s SeaGauge™ now includes an added port for a custom selection of NMEA 2000 inputs – data sources are bridged into a common output to use with a single color display. PGNs include rapid engine parameters such as RPM and trim (PGN 127488); dynamic engine parameters including engine temperatures, oil pressure, oil temperature, fuel pressure, alternator and fuel flow (PGN 127489); and transmission parameters such as pressure and temperatures (PGN 127493). Users are now able to monitor a variety of fluid levels such as fuel, water, black water, gray water, fresh water, and bait tank levels (PGN 127505). Battery condition, voltage, current and temperature may be monitored (PGN 127508) , as well as environmental parameters like air temperatures (PGN 1230311) and barometric pressures (PGN 130323). A number of temperatures can also be displayed (PGN 130312) – users may choose to monitor sea temperatures, live well temperatures, freezer temperature, engine room temperatures, cabin temperatures, and EGT. Meteorological station information can also be shown on the display, including wind speed and direction (PGN 130306).

 

Chetco Digital’s motto is simple – their goal is to help you make the best use of your dash space by integrating all of the information you need on a single display. Through a single hub, users can now monitor multiple engines, output to a PC, and output to marine-grade color display heads. By eliminating the need for individual NMEA interface connections and doing away with multiple connection nodes, point-of-failure issues are minimized and cost is lowered for users.

 

The single hub also dramatically minimizes system footprint: “We are better utilizing the real estate on your dash,” says Burke. Burke is quick to point out that “[t]he advantage is by reading data from other sources, we make our screens more productive for people. It takes that little bit of space and makes it more productive – we can pipe more information into one portal. We can go from a weather station to a freezer space to a diesel engine running a propeller.”

 

Customization is crucial, notes Burke. “You only have so much space,” says Burke, “so it is important to keep critical data at the forefront while allowing for multiple setup options.” Up to 16 NMEA 2000 parameters can be shown on the display, and those 16 can be chosen from a field of up to 350 parameters.

 

A Chetco Digital SeaGauge™ with 1 NMEA interface starts at only $ 995.00, where other companies would require multiple NMEA interfaces for each required function at an inflated cost.

 

The simple, touchscreen user interface allows for customization of layouts using a library of stunning color graphics, and displays data from over 350 parameters via drop down menus. Different graphic themes can be loaded to suit operator preference. The marine grade color touchscreen display heads allows viewing of multiple data sets with simple touch screen functionality. Touchscreen functionality eliminates separate push buttons, which improves user interface and system responsiveness with instant screen updates. Accessibility is also improved, as the vibrant graphics are viewable in bright sunlight.

 

The PC interface also allows for easy viewing of NMEA 2000 data in graphical formats. Data logging to a PC allows for sophisticated engine diagnostic review with ease. Pro Models offer data logging to a USB memory stick for even greater convenience.

Sony announces 10.3 Effective Megapixel Digital Camera with Zeiss 24mm Wide-Angle Lens.

 

Professional image quality, integral wide angle – telephoto lens, revolutionary shooting style

 

All-in-One professional quality solution

 

The Sony Cyber-shot R1 is the world’s first digital camera that combines a large 10.3 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor, and a high quality 24mm – 120mm (35mm) ZEISS Zoom lens in the same body, allowing ‘live’ viewing with the free-angle LCD screen. It is the latest breakthrough in high-class image quality at an affordable price.

 

Full story at http://products.sony.co.uk/sony_dsc-r1_asp.asp

 

Large Size 10.3 effective Megapixel CMOS

 

Top-class image quality is guaranteed through the inclusion of a large-sized Sony CMOS image sensor (effective 21.5mm x 14.4mm), uniquely designed to significantly improve dynamic range, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio. The large Sony CMOS sensor is able to capture more light, reducing noise levels, allowing higher shutter speeds, and therefore reducing the effects of handshake for beautifully clear, true to life pictures. Picture blur is significantly reduced because of the camera’s high sensitivity capability, with noise being simultaneously reduced as a result of the newly developed Clear RAW NR feature. The signal is amplified within each pixel, resulting in ultra-fast signal transfer, no smear and ultra low power consumption.

 

Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* quality and flexibility

 

The dedicated 24mm-120mm (35mm) wide-angle zoom lens of the Cyber-shot R1 is integrated into the body of the camera. With its F2.8-4.8 aperture, the camera is designed to exacting specifications for optimum performance, reduced internal reflections and fast, quality photography, even at low light levels. Images taken by the Cyber-shot R1 are razor-sharp with excellent colour and contrast rendition.

 

The unique ‘short back focus design’ of the Cyber-shot R1 also allows the last lens to be positioned immediately in front of the CMOS sensor, contributing to a reduction in chromatic aberration. On the Cyber-shot R1 this distance has been reduced to an astonishing 2.1mm.

 

The flexibility of the lens design also means there is no need to change lenses to capture the shot you want. This allows the Cyber-shot R1 to be exceptionally fast in use – faster than most other high-end cameras. For example, the Cyber-shot R1 is capable of taking a macro of a butterfly, zooming in on an object in the distance, and then taking a wide-angle landscape shot, all within a few seconds without the need for changing lenses.

 

The fixed-lens design of the Cyber-shot R1 provides enhanced durability, reducing the risk of dust or foreign bodies scratching or damaging the sensor as a result of multiple lens changes. The lens block designed specifically for the Cyber-shot R1 is made up of 10 groups of 12 elements, four of which are aspherical.

 

Sony and Carl Zeiss in partnership

 

Working with Carl Zeiss, Sony has developed a highly qualified high performance lens to realise a higher contrast and resolution even at the edge of images. The lens of the Cyber-shot R1 has been designed through simulating MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and chromatic aberration. Additionally, the Carl Zeiss T* multi layer coating, already appreciated by professional photographers the world over, ensures higher quality images with vastly reduced ghosting and flare.

 

Real Imaging Processor for ultimate performance

 

The Real Imaging Processor has been further enhanced for the Cyber-shot R1 to provide more detailed, purer and vivid colours. The white balance accuracy has also been improved to differentiate between indoor and outdoor shooting, producing more precise colour. The microprocessor has been further customised for the large CMOS image sensor, resulting in a much shorter response time and greatly reduced image noise. With it’s ultra-low power consumption, STAMINA power efficiency, and the use of an intelligent InfoLITHIUM battery, the Cyber-shot R1 can carry on shooting for an amazing 500* shots, without the need for recharging the battery.

 

Free-Angle LCD to shoot like no other

 

The inclusion of a large 2.0-inch “Over Head” free-angle LCD screen, facilitates a revolutionary approach to shooting with the Cyber-shot R1, unique in its class. Combined with the ultra-bright (luminance 600 Cd/m2) screen, the swivel action allows you to shoot from horizontal or vertical levels, high or low angles or waist height, to maximise creativity.

 

High sensitivity for reduced blur

 

Picture blur is significantly reduced because of the high sensitivity capability of the Cyber-shot R1. Traditionally this would lead to an increase in noise, however with the use of the large size CMOS sensor, and the newly developed Clear RAW NR feature, the signal to noise ratio is improved. The Clear RAW NR original algorithm system reduces colour and luminance noise, enabling shooting with significantly higher sensitivity than current Cyber-shot models, using a selectable ISO sensitivity mode (up to ISO 3200). This ensures images with less noise and finer detail. This especially benefits customers when they shoot in low-light conditions, or when shooting moving objects.

 

A.G.C.S for rich colours and optimal contrast

 

The Cyber-shot R1 features an Advanced Gradation Control System to obtain optimal image contrast. The capability to evaluate distribution of the brightness on-screen and apply an appropriate Gamma curve (luminance distribution) means that images can be altered in real-time for a clearly defined image. For example shooting in difficult conditions such as a poorly lit subject and brightly lit background is not a problem for Cyber-shot R1 – using the A.G.C.S. feature, brightness can be balanced out, ensuring an evenly lit image.

 

Advanced display for live preview

 

You can view a ‘live’ preview of the shot you are framing, so you can clearly see what the end result will look like before you take the shot. The improved display layout on the Cyber-shot R1 shows the basic camera settings such as shutter speed, F number, and EV diagram in the bottom area of both LCD and EVF without overlapping the subject in the image area. In addition to the basic settings, the following functions provide further assistance when shooting:

 
Histogram

The display shows a live histogram when shooting, ideal for adjustment of brightness. Additionally, in playback a histogram also appears for each of the three separate RGB colours, this is ideal for checking the detailed balance of each colour and then making necessary adjustments.

 

Zebra Pattern
This uses black and white stripes (Zebra Pattern) to indicate areas where the brightness exceeds a certain level resulting in burnt-out highlights. The exposure can then be adjusted accordingly.

 

Grid lines
This helps when photographing a horizontal or vertical subject. It can also be used artistically and creatively when composing a picture to a particular pattern.

 

Enlarged Focus
The focusing point appears in an enlarged image when the manual focus ring is used, for more accurate focusing.

Choose your JPEG colour mode

 

Users now have a choice of three colour modes on the Cyber-shot R1:

 

Standard (sRGB): a Sony-developed colour arithmetic process used on all Cyber-shot cameras, giving natural and true colour reproduction.

Vivid (sRGB): lowers brightness and emphasises primary colour depth for impressive results with Reds, Greens and Blues, rather like a saturated slide film. Scenes like a deep blue sky, an intense red flower, and spectacular green scenery will be expressed with lively vivid colour.

Adobe RGB: increased gamut (colour range) for a larger colour space and better reproduction, to meet professional and high quality picture environments such as desktop publishing with Adobe Photoshop.

Image Data Converter SR for picture adjustment flexibility

 

Of course, RAW mode is also available for the most demanding users, allowing the highest picture quality with no compression, and preserving the original RGB data and camera settings. The supplied RAW development software (Image Data Converter SR) is particularly versatile compared to competitors’ software. It incorporates fast processing, display and development, with improved operability such as dual view and navigator windows. The software allows adjustment of the white balance and exposure, colour modes such as Vivid or Standard, and provides high compatibility with Adobe Photoshop.

 

Share

 

The Cyber-shot R1 also features PictBridge, the standard for printing directly to photo printers, such as the Sony DPP-FP50. Pictures can be printed conveniently with the USB Direct Print option.

 

The next stage

 

The Cyber-shot R1 has a range of dedicated optional accessories to further extend the shooting possibilities, from wide and tele lenses, to ND and PL filters, from cases and bags to versatile external flash units.

 

Your language

 

Sony has increased the choice of local menu languages to a staggering 15 on the Cyber-shot R1, another great solution to ensure easier operation. Menu languages now include: Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.

 

The Cyber-shot R1 will be available throughout Europe from mid- November 2005.

 

NOTES FOR EDITORS

 

Please find below further details about products and services highlighted in the Press Release:

 

Shooting style revolution

 

The Cyber-shot has been designed from the ground up with picture quality and operability number one priorities. The Free Angle LCD screen allows shooting from angles not possible with digital SLRs. The shutter release has been positioned in an ergonomic location, and creative flexibility controls such as ISO, WB, Flash Mode, AF Mode and one-push AF are all positioned within easy reach of the left thumb area. Primary shooting controls (shoot, playback, magnify, move/check focus, and delete) have all been placed around the right thumb area.

 

Fast response

 

The Real Imaging Processor at the heart of the Cyber-shot R1 has been enhanced further so in Preview mode the camera is ready to shoot a remarkable 0.68 seconds after it is switched on. The shutter time lag is only 0.29 seconds, shutter release lag is only 0.0075 seconds and the camera can take up to three photographs in quick succession at a speed of 3 fps in high speed burst mode.

 

Storage and Connectivity

 

Compact memory storage is provided by optional Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO, alternatively the Compact Flash (Type I/II) slot allows storage on Compact Flash or Micro Drive media. Connectivity options include Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and an enhanced version of the PictBridge interface provides a way for the Cyber-shot R1 to connect directly to a compatible printer without the need for a PC.

 

Time (Bulb) Exposure

 

In addition to the manual shutter speed ranging from a flexible 30 seconds to 1/2000 second, the Cyber-shot R1 has a Time Exposure function which enables the user to control exposure time depending on their requirements – up to 3 minutes.

 

Rear Synchro

 

With Rear Synchro mode, the flash fires just before the shutter closes so that any light traces grow towards the back of a moving subject. This function can be combined with the regular Slow Synchro mode (flash produces a light trace in the direction of movement) for original and creative flash photography.

 

Accurate Manual Focusing with one-push AF

 

When focusing with Manual Focus mode, the one-push AF (PUSH AUTO) button on the left side of the camera body can help focus the subject more easily and quickly. The focusing area can be adjusted using the focus frame and multi-selector that appears on the LCD screen, finally the focus can then be manually adjusted.

 

Improved Electronic Viewfinder

 

The new EVF on the Cyber-shot R1 has an improved optical system with three lenses, for a lower distortion and aberration and better eye position. The image resolution is also higher than on previous models. The camera seamlessly switches between the EVF and the LCD using an eye sensor. Both can show zebra stripes as well as the newly designed information display.

 

Monitoring Mode

 

The Cyber-shot R1 offers two different monitoring modes, Framing and Preview. The Framing Mode reduces flicker under fluorescent light, and the screen is brightened to view the subject more easily, so is ideal for use indoors or in low light conditions. Preview Mode, on the other hand, reflects the true camera settings such as the aperture and shutter speed so that you can confirm the real depth of field before shooting.

 

Linear Focus

 

Sony has developed an ultra-efficient Linear Focus system for the Cyber-shot R1. This direct drive system uses a motor without gears, resulting a super-fast response and extremely accurate focus.
