Camera board • Demonstration of STARVIS 2 ( IMX585 ) on Raspberry Pi 5

Hello,

After many months of development, I wish to share what I have been able to capture using Raspberry Pi 5 and a STARVIS 2 sensor ( IMX585 ). Application code is built upon rpicam-apps with custom encoder and control mechanisms.

All the footage shown is captured in either:

12-bit CinemaDNG RAW using a custom implementation of the Lossless JPEG 1992 codec in realtime.

16-bit CinemaDNG RAW uncompressed using the ClearHDR mode of the sensor.

In standard 12-bit mode, 4K 60fps is possible with lossless compression in real-time.

The frames are written to NVME SSD in the form of a CFExpress card using a CFExpress Hat.

The sensor module was adapted to a Micro Four Thirds mount, such that I could use other adapters ( Metabones speedbooster ) to use my Canon Photography lenses ( Canon 17-55 ) for filming.

This is an ideal sensor module for capturing very high quality video and I hope beyond the community developed versions of this sensor module, Raspberry Pi is already developing or exploring the idea of creating an expanded offering of newer sensor modules, specifically those with excellent dynamic range / low light capabilities, large sensor sizes approaching or even exceeding 1" size.

I sometimes need to remind myself these are captured on a Raspberry Pi...Not a full fledged professional camera. Those lines are blurring.

Below are a set of videos with demonstrating the camera system and it's capabilities:
