How to see it?

I expected horribly over sharpened quality but its not !
great work send me more new 6Ns day and night footage!
well done and thanks for such quick Beta Testing!

What Sharpness level are they Strong or Normal?

Very good 6Nr Beta test footage, agreed these clips aren't the same IQ as other test clips, without Contrast control all we can do is lower Saturation since no one wants Brightness lowered. Adjusted Edge and Saturation. thanks for these side-by-side comparisons, very helpful. This next MOD will be very different more extreme levels.

Making revisions to 6Ns - download this fresh copy

I flashed this firmware over and just did a quick look through out my house window, haven't driven with it yet. I personally seem to always go back to normal sharpness 58 in both the 6Nr and 6Ns. Sometimes even "normal" may seem a little too over sharpened as well. Soft and normal seems like a huge jump even when it's 57 to 58. Wonder if you can punch in 57.5? LOL. Through the brief test, I found 6Ns had a lot more haloing at the edges. Probably due to the bump in edge detection. 6Nr seemed better and reduced this effect. Again this was only done in a brief test out the house window with no windshield in front. Driving experience may be different. Going to test this in the car in the next few days and hoping the lowered saturation may help in lowering the blown out whites. I also wonder if testing without a glass in front is a better controlled test overall. Different windshields will have different surface treatments and distortion levels depending on curvature and will vary test results.

Sharpness normal.
Will do more daylight tomorrow.
What do you want to see exactly?

Request daytime test footage of city streets and parking lot not directly into sun Sharpness Normal and Soft.

Thanks for the comments and ideas, Beta Test MODs mounted in vehicle always best.
6Nr was very good but lacked crisp image.
6Ns only difference is Edge and Saturation, to handle increased Edge only need to change range from 57-58-60 to 56-57-59 or 55-56-58.
Expanding range scale is possible and last option.
SaturationB affects different intensity and 108 is dull and washed out, 112-120 should tone down blown-out whites, 118 has possibilities.
I expected +10 Edge would cause unacceptable halo over-sharp edges so Testers could see the extreme effects, similar to VIOFO's official FW, next would be -5, the acceptable range is between 158 - 148 estimating 152 but need to be sure higher isn't actually better. The weather here is so bad I cannot Alpha test out the window.

Once I see a few daytime clips will adjust Edge multiple times a day if Testers are on hand to share clips. only need Soft & Normal test footage parking lots, city streets, buildings, Strong will be horrible unless Lens has poor focus.
 
I can confirm that Strong Sharpness + Edge 158 looks like a hot mess with my good lens. It's very much been VIOFO'd!

Here's some samples. Still no real sun though.

Interesting 6Ns high sharpness footage, actually looks better than expected, very surprising, are you sure its strong level?

Yup, it was on strong.
 
Haloing is quite apparent if you look at the edges of the light poles.

thats expected for Strong level and needed for poorly focused Lens, I'm only interested in Normal and Soft which are target for perfectly focused Lenses.

Always good to see all Sharpness Levels, thanks for that footage, owners with correctly focused Lenses should use Soft and Normal level and what I haven't seen with Edge158.
 
In an effort to explain my selection for these 3 new Sharpness Levels it must be understood many owners have incorrect center focus Lenses. These MODs are developed for End Users and Tested by End Users.
Strong = halo effect when using perfect focused Lens, but much less halo with imperfect center focus Lens.
Normal = touch of halo with perfect Lens, zero halo with imperfect Lens.
Soft = zero halo with perfect Lens, soft with imperfect Lens.

Three Sharpness Levels isn't enough but better than single MODs. In the last 1.9 years VIOFO had a completely different definition of Image Quality. Today we finally have options and MODs.

Request daytime test footage of city streets and parking lot not directly into sun Sharpness Normal and Soft.
Please see my picture of camera menu for firmware version:

As I confirmed before it is the firmware version from your upload the night before.

I did as you wanted some videos:

It's been nearly 3 weeks now since I paid for my new lens from Viofo and still no lens or reply from Bill...…...not good.
 
I was gonna share just now some 6Ns footage but Just had some sort of recording failure on cam w/ Lens2. :cry::mad:o_O:unsure::confused: .... I dont think this had anything to do with the firmware as cam with Lens1 was fine. Memory cards are exactly the same just a year in age difference and the new one is in Lens2 cam. Will trouble shoot the issue and report back later with test footage. Some settings were also not set correctly so. I have to adjust and try again.

Stay Tunned...

Excellent work, needed to see all this footage, thanks for these clips,
about to release 6Nt. Edge148-152 looks acceptable.

Found The Problem! :) It was between the Driver Seat and the Steering Wheel. :oops: I accidentally set Loop Record to Off instead of 1 min! All is well again. Footage can now be collected again.
 
I drove with 6ns. Confirming previous test that the haloing was more pronounced with normal sharpness and 158 edge. The lower 6nr edge was better in my case. Whites still seem blown. We definitely need contrast control at least to hopefully salvage some of that. Sorry I can't post footage. I'm forbidden to share recordings over security concerns as written in the contract of my employer.
 
Created new A119S - Beta Revision 6Nt , See post #1 of thread for details and ChangeLog.
Welcome to Wacky Weekend MODs !!
Request footage & feedback on all 3 levels of Sharpness and lower Saturation under all lighting conditions.
More adjustments made to Sharpness levels, Edge Detection to 138 and Saturation to 100 , all feedback is needed.
