Just used this to get clean 1080p HDMI from an a5000 in February 2024. THANKS!

Worked a treat. The camera's screen still displays all the info, which is a good thing, but the HDMI is clean, clean, clean.

You said you spent a day working on this! Because of you, and the person that made the instructions, it only me like 10minutes! Thank you so much!

Thank you, you are a life saver :D amazing hack. Got Putty to work also. Changed it to correct port and picked Connection type as Other. Make sure the camera is still running too.

make sure telnet is enable on your windows 10. Mine wasn't so in command prompt it kept not recognizing the telnet code. if yours is not turned on, you go to control panel\program and features then on the left side there is a turn on windows features click that and it will open a box then scroll down alphabetical to telnet and make sure its checked then it will be on and work

Great video. Quick question, do you know if autofocus still works while doing hdmi out like this? I've heard some Sony cameras can be finicky with AF and hdmi out at the same time

@MarkOakleyComics

2 жыл бұрын

Good question! I mostly run on fixed primes, but on occasion I would install the 16-50mm kit lens and it worked as expected on hdmi, but I didn't do a lot of extensive shooting with it. If there are any finicky AF issues, I might not have noticed them. -Though, one issue I can report with confidence is that the a5000 and a5100 employ an (annoying) 'skin smoothing' feature which can't be turned off when you're using AF. It's one of the reasons I switched to primes, where you can control for that (by digitally zooming 1%).

Where did you go man? I hope you are doing well! I really like your personality.

Tipe 1: if running on batery change power save to 30 minutes, the default is 1 minute. If you use Putty just make sure to select telnet and right port (23). If you try to use Windows Telnet you'll have to enable it first. This is a great video! Thank you.

Hi Mark, I was just wondering if u could do a "clean hdmi from 5100 vs nex 6" video as there clearly was a performance bump in the 5000 to 5100 but as of yet there is no info on whether its better to pick up a (lower priced) nex 6 as opposed to a 5100. It would also be interesting to know the compared IQ, resolution, fps and also whether the skin smoothing is gone. Im just about to buy a camera for the D&D games I want to stream/record and it would be great to be a bit more informed. Thanks for your work, Jácint

@MarkOakleyComics

2 жыл бұрын

Well.., I don't own an NEX 6, so I can't do a direct comparison. But here's what I can tell you based on what I know about it... The a5100 has clean hdmi as a built-in option, so you wouldn't need to worry about that. The NEX 6 doesn't. (I can't remember if anybody got this hack to work on it; if they did you might see somebody mention it somewhere in the comments.) The Sony a5100 has 24 megapixels, while the NEX 6 has only 16. The Sony a5100 is newer by a year and a half. That can mean a lot in terms of sensor tech. It did between the a5100 and the a5000, and there were only a few months difference there. And the NEX 6 is even older! For the time being the a5100 is the best of the cheap video cameras (for fixed position studio shooting) you can get in my opinion. Anything better is considerably more expensive with imperceptible quality gain, and anything worse may be cheaper but you can definitely see the quality decrease. I tried the a5000 in my multi-cam studio, and pulled it after just a few live tests. Even though I think it's a great camera for the price, I could tell the difference. I'd use it in a pinch, but wouldn't touch anything older than it. I hope some that was helpful! -Cheers!

The a5000 might be a little better; phones do a lot of clever compression and it sometimes becomes noticeable, but honestly, I think your video quality looks fine. For you, the big benefit of a mirrorless camera like the a5000 over a phone would be that you can swap out lenses and get cool separation effects, where you are in sharp focus, but the background is blurred out a bit. I think it's a cool look and you can't fake it with a phone, (not well, anyhow), but it's definitely next level in terms of $$. The wisdom is, "The best camera is the one you have."

Anyway, it makes all the difference. Cheers!

@@MarkOakleyComics Thank u so much, will give it a try.

When I enter the telnet and IP command prompt, it says "telnet" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. Anyone else dealing with this issue?

The software won't install cause it says I have low battery. The problem is that when using a dummy battery, it always thinks the battery is low.

@MarkOakleyComics

Yeah, some of the power supplies with my dummy batteries, I've noticed, don't provide the amperage a battery does. For instance, a cold startup when an HDMI cable running from my capture device is plugged into the camera, results in a brief lighting of the flip screen, and then a shutdown. -I have to turn on the camera, get over the power draw spike, and *then* plug in any extra cables. Once it's all going, it works fine, but it's definitely an issue. I don't experience that with all my power supplies, which indicates that they don't all have the same specs. I'd say, based on that, that it's probably best use a fully charged battery when performing this kind of operation.

Do you need a HDMI capture card for this to work?

Hi, has anyone had any problems or luck with doing this hack using a boot-camped MacBook? I've used multiple cables and the gui app just will not see the camera... even though the Sony software sees the camera and transfers perfectly.... the only thing I can think is that it's not really a pc and sometimes there can be funny things with bootcamp... kinda at a standstill with this now :-(

I've been hoping an Apple user would chime in since I first posted this video and let us know if it could work on that platform. If you do manage to get it worked out, please drop a note here to let folks know what your experience was. (Failing everything else, you might just have to find a PC user and invite them and their laptop over for a couple of hours. Provide snack perhaps..?) Good luck!

@@MarkOakleyComics Aha well thanks Mark but I can safely say that the gui app doesn't work on a bootcamped Mac. Tried 6 cables and the computer simply won't see the camera, borrowed a regular pc and it worked straight away. Seems pretty conclusive to me - great vid btw though, really pleased with my cheap little find!

I am looking at getting an A5000 for live streaming in the near future. Can anyone confirm this method still works for a clean hdmi out?

@volaticusfilms6185

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it does but you shouldn't need to go through all of these steps. I uploaded an updated version of this procedure which takes an A5000 which has not been converted, and go through the entire process in 3 minutes. There's now far fewer steps to go through. Check it out on my channel, although I have to acknowledge Mark and some of the others who have made the process more bearable

Does this have a chance of bricking the camera?

@MarkOakleyComics

2 жыл бұрын

Of course. But I'd say the chances are on par with bricking any given device with read/write memory. (Very low). The bit in memory is designed to be flipped; Sony just didn't include a way to do it via the normal menu, so instead you have to toggle it directly through a command prompt. Just make sure the battery is fully charged when loading the software, and don't type in the wrong memory address when flipping the bit. Dozens of people have executed this hack with no reports of bricking. Good luck!

I now got clean HDMI output by changing the value of 0x01070a47 to 00 as mentioned above. I hope this helps other NEX-6 users." That's good to hear, and it might mean that it's also possible on the 5R. Hopefully somebody will try and let everybody know.

When I was struggling with that portion of the instructions, I tried coming at it from the other end; I enabled the camera's wifi and telnet, then opened up my router's control panel, (it's a local html-style web page; every router/modem has one), and searched for the camera's IP on the list. Sometimes you can work out why a device isn't connecting that way. Good luck!

This fix only turns off the info graphics along the screen edges, like the little battery picture and the F-stop indicator and such. If you have actual blurring, it's either your lens or settings.
