Today I fooled around with the 500d on my TV using hdmi and 22 jan build. Lots of funcions where not working properly, like focus peek, magic zoom and zebras. These haven't been working at earlier (?) builds either. Force hdmi-vga gives a out-of-shape image.
The odd thing however, was that I got err 70 while replaying a clip! (I think it's happened once before, but at tat time I was a noob

) Later, after switching my cam of and unplugging the hdmi (don't remember what order), it asked me to reenter date and time! It made me a bit shaky...

Probably 500D has different resolutions in HDMI compared to other cameras. 550D, 60D, 600D and 5D2 are all the same ( see http://videos.smallhd.com/the-truth-about-canon-dslr-output-signals/ and http://magiclantern.wikia.com/wiki/HDMI_Output ).

You can compile in debug mode and use the VRAM menu to calibrate zebras and focus peaking. Magic Zoom won't work well in high-resolution HDMI (it's not needed at that resolution anyway).

Here's the meaning of those parameters:

The bitrate is probably at 0,1 or someting. Go to the video tab, into the submenu of bitrate and set it to firmware default. If you want, you can try to push it higher. For more and more precise info press the disp button.

Hey MK - It's been so long I've forgotten. Did you ever get 2x2 Hires working? Or only 4x5? I tried it again today perfect! What's the next step for 2x2? How can we make it faster? Seems there's a delay in there somewhere...

The reason I'd like it is because 4x5 is too slow.

No, sorry, that was the last time I messed with it, to many updates with ML to keep it up to date, I have been focusing on chdk for my kids cam, then I tried working on our cam hdr issue but got nowhere fast 8[

Can you do 2x2 for me? You're the expert! I'd be happy to make the python work for 2x2.
If you could put the 4x5 and 2x2 into the newest ML someone might like it besides me!
Can you get Alex to include your existing changes?

I really appreciate your work on 4x5 Hires. I use it every month. Maybe there's nothing to do in ML for 2x2. Maybe all the work is in python. If so I'll do it. Can you verify they are overlapping in the newest version of ML? Just say the word and I'll finish it.

While you're at it... Can you LOOK for unecessary delays in Hi-res?

Any of you guys using a Zoom H1? I figured I might upgrade my audio with tax return money

Will see, its been awhile since I messed with that, I barely remember exactly what I did to get where I was, I should of made notes of everything I tweaked to fix what I fixed.

I dont know about getting alex to add to port though cause its only our camera that uses differnt settings it seems for it to get it to work correctly, it was not just a 422 script fix, it was in ML, and our cam seem to not use the standard values to make them work right, so I dont know if it will be addable, if it was, you would think it would of gotten added back then when I made the fix.
