Elektrod & AmberShot

Hey, ever noticed how a single bit flip in a camera's memory can ruin hours of raw footage?
AmberShot AmberShot
Oh, absolutely. One little flip and the whole take turns into a ghostly mess, but that’s the raw truth I chase.

Sure, if you’re chasing the truth of a corrupted frame, the best tool is a reliable checksum and a good error‑correcting code—no room for guesswork in a system that depends on binary integrity.
AmberShot AmberShot
Yeah, a checksum’s great when you’re in the lab, but on the edge you’re more likely to catch the corrupted frame in the middle of a rush‑cut and just keep filming until you get a clean take.

In a rush‑cut you’re trading time for data, so you’d better have a fast hash function that can run on the fly—something like CRC‑32 or even a 64‑bit adler that doesn’t slow the pipeline. If the frame fails, just discard it and continue; you’re more likely to get a clean shot later than to sit and debug a bit‑shifted frame in the middle of a live feed.
