[@bjorksven]

Scientific cameras very often have active, sub-ambient cooling solutions, especially ones with greater bit-depth than 12-bit. For example, in our lab, we have a 16-bit X-ray CCD which is attached to a Peltier element which cools the chip, and the hot side of the Peltier element can be cooled with both air and water. We typically run it at -70 degrees Celsius, as, even compared to -60 degrees, the inherent electrical noise is just sooo much lower. This matters A LOT in high-dynamic-range-applications.

[@budthecyborg4575]

Agreed, I think Linus is actually underestimating the value of cooling the main image sensor. It's amazing to see that consumer level cameras are still all passively cooled, even when we have Sony A7's overheating left and right. In the next decade or so I predict we're going to see a new revolution of cameras with active cooling.

[@gurshair]

This thread was more interesting than the video

[@IainMcClatchie]

@highks Okay, but the RED 8K is actively cooled. Any other camera could use the same trick of passive while running video, active after that until cool enough.

[@IainMcClatchie]

@@budthecyborg4575 It seems straightforward to run a heat pipe from the image sensor to a plate on the bottom of the DSLR. If the user wants to get it cold, just cool the plate. If you're willing to drag around the weight, you could even put a Peltier on it. It won't work colder than the freezing point of the fluid in the heat pipe, but that could be methanol for a -114 C limit which ain't bad. If you don't cool the plate, the camera just passively cools through it.

The Xilinx Kintex-7 is an FPGA -- programmable logic with very flexible pins that can talk to just about anything. Could you read the part number, so we can see if it's got an ARM core or two on it, or if it's just an FPGA? If you are looking at Digikey prices, figure those are 3x what RED pays. Also check for some super-expensive high speed 14 or 16 bit ADCs between the FPGAs and the sensor chip. Can you get part numbers on those? Also, the geometry from the sensor to the lens mount is super sensitive, because you have to hold a micron or two tolerance between the lens and the sensor. That's substantially better than things can be machined, so there's usually some kind of fine tuning screws with loctite on them. If you send me pics I can tell you what much of this stuff is and what it does, for your next video.

Wayyyy late to this party, but i used to work at Xilinx a while back. The Kintex is the "low end" (even if it's still stupid expensive) of their FPGA lines and adding ARM cores into a SoC type thing only started with Zynq-7000 and forward. i can't imagine (of the like...10-20 SKUs per product level) that it's one of the particularly high O/I count variants of the Kintex-7 simply because those suckers put out so much heat. Even if Kintex-7 was touted as "way more power efficient" than Kintex-6.

Of course this project is possible. But you're going to need *far* more skill than has been displayed in your other builds. I'd get on the horn with CNC mill operators/machinists ASAP and get whichever minion of yours is best with 3D design to start drawing the mating surfaces of all parts to be cooled. Also for those wondering it would take about 35 million views for a KZbin video to pay for this camera. Not enough cats, dancing or Fortnite for that to happen.

[@thomasp4902]

Not just the lack of skill either. This is a big project, not something that can be done in 1 or 2 days with no knowledge of the system being modified. They should have bought a dead red camera and used that, using your production tools is never a good idea.

[@twicethemegapower3995]

The L E G E N D himself

[@bene_eins1308]

There is indeed a technical reason to cool a camera sensor down. As the sensor gets warmer, it loses its dynamic range ( also when it gets too cold). The more stable the temperature, the better the image. If you work under extreme conditions, with a water-cooling you could even pre-heat the sensor to its optimised temperature to get the highest possible image quality out of it. Or hold the temperature on an even level (even when turned off) to make it more durable.

[@CruelViper88]

Watercooling that...requires a very special, and complex, 3D design. Considering that amount of heat...a DIY Copper block.

You guys are nothing short of absolute lunatics, and it's awesome! I am very excited about this potential project, but I do hope you tread carefully when you come up with a plan. I'd love to see some machine work done (by an outside source if needed) to make custom heatsinks so the casing could still be screwed together. That camera is going to be twice as baller status if you are able to pull this off. Good luck!

[@VTOLfreak]

That's what I was thinking too. The only way they can pull this one off is if they bring in outside help to have water blocks/mounting designed and machined and then all other stuff needed to route the hoses out 3D printed.

[@cosminpopescu92]

They do have a CNC but I don't know if it would work for this type of project
