High resolution, fast refresh rate
The telescope camera DBK 31AU03.AS combines a high resolution, fast refresh rate and a low price. Therefore, it is ideally suited to amateur astronomers wishing to deploy a mega pixel camera. Using the shipped software - IC Capture - you can save the captured images to lossless and uncompressed AVI files.
Fast display of color images
For the visualization of the raw data from the colour CCD (RAW format), the data stream must be post processed (colour interpolation). Interpolated colour images require much more bandwidth to transfer than original RAW images. Colour interpolation in the CCD camera DBK 31AU03.AS can be switched off and thus 30 colour frames per second can be transfered. In this case, the images are colour interpolated on the host PC with the shipped software IC Capture.AS. Alternatively, should colour interpolation not be desirable at all, AVI files can be written in RAW format.
Sony® colour CCD
The astro CCD camera DBK 31AU03.AS is fitted with the colour CCD ICX204AK, manufactured by Sony®. The resolution of the CCD is 1024 x 768 pixel at a format of 1/3". Even at long exposure times, its noise is minimal. Due to the high quality of the ICX204AK, it is often used in medical image processing applications.
IR cut filter
Colour cameras that do not possess a colour filter offer users a large degree of flexibility: Filters may be added as required by a specific application. Therefore, we ship the telescope camera DBK 31AU03.AS without an IR cut filter.
Fast data transfer via USB 2.0
The astro CCD camera DBK 31AU03.AS outputs high resolution images in a fast sequence. In order to transfer these large amounts of data to the host PC, a USB 2.0 conection is supplied.
