00-Printed Circuit Boards
1 00-SB: Sensor Boards
The Beta CMV12K ZIF Sensor Board hosts the heart of every cinema camera - the (CMOS) image sensor. apertus° offered three different sensor options during the crowd funding campaign; Super35, Super16 and 4/3rds, and as almost 90% of the backers opted for the Super35 sensor its respective module was developed first. The camera uses the ams Sensors Belgium CMV12000.

2 00-MB: Main Board
The Beta Main Board is the camera's equivalent of a PC's motherboard. It hosts two external medium-speed shield connectors and two high-speed plugin module slot connectors - These act as a central switch for defining where the data that's captured by the sensor and other interfaces gets routed to inside the hardware. In this regard, all specifics can be dynamically reconfigured in software.

3 00-PB: Power Boards
The AXIOM Beta Power Board PCB generates all the different supply voltages for the chips and logic on the other PCB’s inside the camera. It also monitors currents so that it can estimate remaining power based on the recorded consumption. In the current revision of the camera a predefined set of supply voltages matching the current application with the rest of the camera have been generated, in the future however, it will be possible for users to dynamically reconfigure voltages according to their needs through the camera’s software.

4 00-SHDMI: HDMI Plugin Modules
This module provides one 1080p60 HDMI output stream via 4 LVDS channels directly from the Zynq on the Microzed.

5 00-SUSB: USB 3.0 Plugin Modules
With the USB 3.0 plugin module, any computer with USB 3.0 connectivity can be used as an AXIOM Recorder. This allow for defining format/container/metadata/etc. of uncompressed raw 4k footage.

7 00-SPMOD: AXIOM Beta Single PMOD Plugin Module
The Beta 1x PMOD Plugin Module features PMOD debug inputs/outputs for connecting a wide range of external PMOD devices - mainly intended for development and testing when general purpose Input/Output (GPIO) is required.

8 00-CSO: AXIOM Beta Centre-Solder-On Module
Some of the floor space in the centre of the AXIOM Beta Main Board has been left clear so that a CSO (centre-solder-on) board can be incorporated. This will host chips capable of measuring and controlling compensation processes via the camera's software, i.e. for orientation and acceleration (the same chips used to stabilise quadcopters and track movement in VR headsets), magnetic field related data, and three dimensional motion sensing.

10 00-DSDI: AXIOM-Photon-SDI
The AXIOM photonSDI hardware is an extension board for the apertusº AXIOM Beta open source camera that adds 6G SDI connectivity to its features.
The board has two independent 6G SDI outputs that can both output the same image, different images, or be used in a dual 6G configuration that allows the transmission of 4k video material at 60 frames per second. Additionally the board contains a 6G SDI input for synchronisation and blending and a legacy synchronisation input.
