Pixii A2572 Camera Support - DNGs uploaded

[JonHrovath]

I have uploaded multiple DNG images from the Pixii A2572 camera to the raw.pixls.us website. In the comments for each, I have labeled which 'Profile' was selected in the camera for each shot. The information from the maker on what the Profile's do can be found at the end of their documentation, located here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1beSFHPguNgP712fE9DhOw4vbGFqj8-Y2Snt5th3DhHU/preview?tab=t.0#heading=h.nnfvnuy9kwur

There is an image file for the 'Standard' profile and the 'Default' profile. If anything else is needed, please let me know.

On RPU's side, i'm generally hesitant to validate new DNG samples,
and would only do that if for some reason that DNG is somehow special,
because in general DNG is not very fancy...

@LebedevRI I generally agree, but it would actually be nice to have at least one set (I understand Pixii has several different output modes incl. mono and GPR compression?) just as a reference for this vendor as its raw samples are curiously hard to find on the web...

@JonHrovath We're usually not bothered by embedded profiles as that's a processing thing (even the manual you linked says only the Default one is recommended for darktable). This is more for raw file structure and decoding, so different output modes are of more interest.

Unfortunately it would seem GPR was disabled for this model? https://dev.pixii.fr/changelog.html

@LebedevRI @kmilos I can upload whatever DNGs you want from the Pixii A2572. When I initially created Pull Request #18748, it was mentioned to upload some DNGs to raw.pixls.us. I think the only other option that would affect the DNG would be shooting in their 'Mono' mode. I can get 1 or more samples of that uploaded if anyone thinks that is worthwhile to have on hand.

If more DNGs are wanted or you want to close this Issue, just let me know. I still need to re-shoot my Noise Profiles for the A2572 at some point since above ISO 3200 appeared to be off.

That depends on whether you can get some more interesting modes out of the camera or not:

12-14-16-bits programmable AD converter
Output: Digital Negative (DNG), Mono DNG, GPR (compressed)

Or is it just the two: one CFA kind and one mono kind?

From going through the entire camera menu, the only options that would affect a DNG file would be setting the 'Mode' to be 'Bayer' or 'Mono'. So color or black & white output. I have the latest camera firmware/software and GPR compression is not available. I also do not see any ways to change the AD converter bit-depth.

Ok, those should be bog standard DNGs and than maybe it's not worth the bother. Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.

That's my point.

Let's close this issue then?
