Resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels
With its 1280 x 960 pixel, the telescope camera DBK 41AU02.AS offers a very high resolution. It outputs uncompressed image data at a speed of 15 images per second. Using the shipped software - IC Capture.AS - you can capture lossless and uncompressed images sequences as AVI files.
Fast display of colour images
Colour CCDs output their data in RAW format. For visualization purposes this data cannot be used. It must first be subjected to a colour interpolation process, in which the raw data is post processed. Much broader bandwidth is required to transfer interpolated images, than the original raw data from the camera. Colour interpolation can be switched off in the CCD camera DBK 41AU02.AS. In this mode, a transfer rate of 15 color images per second can be achieved. Colour interpolation is then carried out by IC Capture.AS on the host PC. Alternatively, should colour interpolation not be desirable at all, AVI files can be written in RAW format.
Sony® colour CCD
The most important part of the astro CCD camera DBK 41AU02.AS is the high resolution colour CCD ICX205AK from Sony®. It has a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels at a format of 1/2". Even at long exposure times, its noise is minimal. Due to the high quality of the ICX205AK CCD chip, 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, the telescope camera DBK 41AU02.AS ships without an IR cut filter.
Fast data transfer via USB 2.0
The CCD camera DBK 41AU02.AS outputs high resolution, uncompressed images at a high frame rate. These image sequences generate a large amount of data. In order to transfer these to the host PC the camera is fitted with a USB 2.0 connector.
