The new 6Nq IQ was developed two days ago and sparked by
@Caerus 's recent return to the Forum. It involves highly unethical plagiarism by taking from the old and giving to the DCTeam. VIOFO's dashcams use Novatek NT96660 basecode Firmware to control chipset functions. The current SDK version includes all the functionality for Wifi, Dual camera and huge amounts for Action Camera applications which are all disabled and hidden. Due to this 'all-in-one' flexible firmware any simple request for element change is highly complex. The number of Sharpness table values is overwhelming but its always helpful for hackers to obtain version 1 of anything since its usually baseline settings and easier to detect changes during comparisons. Instead I used v1.01 MP4 modified firmware footage to recognize a minor IQ quality not found in recent official firmware, once the specific image control element was 'seen' it narrowed the v1.01 firmware code search to a nearby section already well known to Mod'ers.
BCHobbyist now has very effective two stage control over Sharpness and Saturation. The first stage was extracted from version 1 firmware with its unique warmer IQ values, the second stage is 2 byte HEX value which acts like master volume control to dial up or down a specific image quality setting. By combining these two primary and secondary control layers much greater range of IQ is possible using only a HEX Editor, the method I prefer.
- Sharpness baseline was raised from 100 to 140 to match v1.01 IQ.
- Saturation baseline was reduced from 25-15 to 20-10 to control overblown whites.
- Brightness baseline was reduced 4 points also to control overblown whites.
These changes narrowed the new Menu>Sharpness range to single digit increments which was a surprise.
Incremental adjustments are expected to each IQ value to obtain near perfect image quality with your help.
BCHobbyist will now release new Beta versions using these improvements for A129Duo + A119 + A119Pro.
Much Testing is required and with your support our reward is a Dashcam you can be proud using!
