Information relating to development and knowledge sharing of the OCTOPUSCAMERA system and software.

OCTOPUSCAMERA Ethos

The OCTOPUSCAMERA distinguishes itself from other high-end cameras by offering the user an open system which fully exposes its inner workings and processing pipeline. Where most cameras are a black box with secret proprietary processing and colour science, the OCTOPUSCAMERA discloses and encourages users to see what is actually going on inside. We believe that offering and encouraging full understanding of the camera's technical workings will improve the workflow, versatility and usability of the camera. The OCTOPUSCAMERA can also offer specialist image sensor options which may be considered not profitable by most manufacturers such as global shutter, full spectrum (IR) sensitivity and native monochrome.

OCTOPUSCAMERA Models

The OCTOPUSCAMERA has two base models, the OCTOPUSCAMERA MFT and the OCTOPUSCAMERA LF. The two models differ only in the image sensor and lens mount, the physical body and processing capabilities are the same. Additionally, the two base models target a range of sensors. Currently the OCTOPUSCAMERA LF targets any 60mm PCI Express XIMEA sensor module and the OCTOPUSCAMERA MFT targets any 30mm PCI Express XIMEA sensor module. The OCTOPUSCAMERA LF 8K for example is the OCTOPUSCAMERA LF targeting the 60mm XIMEA MX500 sensor module; the MX500 module is the CMOSIS CMV50000 8K full frame sensor.
