Snagged an old sony broadcast camera.Having some overheating problems, replaced the DC fan inside, helped cool it a little, but overall still reaching about 30-32c. Noticed it when hot pixels started showing up a few minutes into shooting. I assume its a problem with the CCD overheating or something, but is there any less intrusive way to cool the camera down better?
>>4495066are you australian or something? why can't you bring it outside for testing so it keeps cool and you can confirm if that's the cause of hot pixels
>>4495066Show a top view anon so we can see how easily you can fit a fan near the CCD. However 30Deg is pretty low idk why would that be a problem
>>4495066Use a peltier like all the cool kids.
>>4495070Got it recently, lots of snow and don’t have proper gear to go out and shoot>>4495082Picrel>>4495086Where would I need to install that?
>>4495098Probably too cramped for one, but it is the optimal solution for sensor cooling. High end sensors use them. You would use thermal paste to adhere it to the backside of the sensor then use a heatsink or heat pipe + fan to keep the hotside cool.
>>4495066Do you have it plugged into the wall? What looks like hot pixels can actually be interference from unregulated mains power. If you're not already, try running it from a battery.
>>4495098what gear do you need? just step out the door and start recording for a couple of minutes to check if hot pixles appear. you don't seem really interested in checking
>>4495098again, 30C is pretty OK for a sensor, are you 100% sure it's a temperature problem ? >>4495099don't listen to him it's retarded and condensation + heat from the hot side will fuck your electronics. You need to engineer the camera around this you can't really slap one inside>t. engineer
>>4495119ikr why the fuck was the first thought to jam a fan inside a sensitive antique electronic? Like really? Maybe you could slap some thin heatsink inside for passive cooling but it's still going to be INSIDE the fuckin thing.OP if you can manage to output the footage to a file we can probably tell you what the fuck is going on. Hot pixels are pretty obvious, but interference, shitty solders, failing transistors, PCB melting etc. etc. can all contribute to a funny looking image.
