HDMI Output Settings (hdmi_out.mo)

[theBilalFakhouri]

can i somehow start broadcasting on dji RavenEye with this module on canon 6d?

You can use this module with any HDMI device, not all HDMI devices are guaranteed to work (like when using Progressive option), you need to do some tests.

Has anyone tried the HDMI output on a 1920x1080 capture card?  Does that work and how is image quality in the 1x3 crop modes?  I use these 1x3 modes all the time.  My idea is to use an old smart phone as external monitor via a capture card.  Will that work?

You can answer both questions on your own:
a) Connect camera HDMI to HDMI input of your monitor/TV set.
b) Connect capture card to phone and connect capture card to HDMI output.

1x3 presets (which have real-time correct preview) do work with HDMI output, but only in 1080i output and in Full Canon preview (toggle between Small and Full Canon preview by pressing Info button while in 1080i output), the quality is good enough and of course it's better than camera LCD, but it suffer from aliasing and moire in LiveView (this also happens on LCD).

-I didn't have corrupted frames with 1x3 presets and 1080i HDMI (tested on 700D).

As far as I know, Danne did implement HDMI support for 1x3 presets for EOS M but he didn't test it, you need to make some tests (e.g try it on any TV with 1080i output) then feedback.

If I could, I wouldn't be asking, right?  I am considering buying a capture card, adapters and cables but don't have them yet.  My purchase decision will depend on whether this is a working solution or not.  If anybody has some experience with that, I should appreciate some information.

Thanks a lot, Bilal.  This is very useful information, indeed.

Nobody can tell if your old smartphone will do the job. Telling type and OS version would be a start ...
HDMI adapter (with/without cable) is 2.50 to 6 €, cheap HDMI-USB converter 8 to 15 €. I recommend adapter and converter with cables attached.

The phone is Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android OS on it, (I do not remember the exact version and dont have the phone here to check).  I will also need a OTG cable, I guess.

Hi! I have a 5D2 running lastest 2020Dec28 build. But yes, I want to try hdmi_out.mo. Why I'm not doing this?

Because ISO branch just stucks the camera at a blue + red LED on when I turn it off. Did someone have this issue? I know, it's a ML issue, not a module one, but I wish to know if one of you had something similar, and maybe have a workaround. I'm very excited to try hdmi_out.mo (and solve the 480p output), but the base ML isn't working properly

@theBilalFakhouri I would like to use this on my 50D but the iso-research builds don't work for this camera. The camera locks up when it shutdowns down with the iso-research branch (solid blue light). The lua_fix branch works but your module doesn't work with that branch sadly.

I think this is the commit that was applied to the lua_fix branch:

Does anyone have an iso-reseach build with this code change?
Any other way to get iso-reseach working on the 50D?
Any way to install hdmi_output.mo in the lua_fix release?

Thanks

Yes, I had the same on 5D2

Unfortunately this didn't work on my 60d (Firmware version 1.1.1-ml-iso-research), the HDMI Output option under the Display tab won't appear after i copied the "hdmi_out.mo" to the ML/modules folder.

It didn't work for me either: 60D.111

ok I can confirm it is working on 550D and 5D2 and NTSC and PAL switch also works..

I got an error after enabling the module on 5D2.212
tcc: error: undefined symbol 'unpatch_memory'
tcc: error: undefined symbol 'patch_hook_function'
[E] failed to link modules

Hi @JogaDann

I had the same issue with my 5D2 but managed to make it work.

I had to use a custom crop_rec_4k release (official release of crop_rec_4k for 5D2 doesn't exist) mentionned here https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=19336.msg223333#msg223333
The bitbucket to download the release no longer exists but can be found here https://bitbucket-archive.softwareheritage.org/new-static/e6/e6b5dbd1-408b-4864-b984-289cb9371366/attachments/

Hello Together! As far as I know, using HDMI output drops a heavier load on the CPU. Would it be possible, to toggle the HDMI output with a push of a button? I would use a color calibrated HDMI monitor only to check if the aperture and the focusing is right, but I would not use the HDMI monitor during recording, to eliminate bad frames. Do you think that it would be possible?

I think this button is already there and located on your HDMI monitor.
