SXVR-H16
CCD camera user manual
Thank you for purchasing a Starlight Xpress CCD camera. We hope that you will be
very satisfied with its performance. The SXVR-H16 is a large format, high-resolution
cooled CCD camera, especially designed for astronomical imaging. The SXVR-H16
uses a Kodak KAI4022 Interline CCD, with
2048(H) X 2048(V) pixels in a 15mm x
15mm active area. The use of high performance microlenses on the CCD surface
gives the greatest possible throughput of light to the pixels and the resulting QE is
very good over the entire visible spectrum. Our new ‘R’ type USB2 interface
hardware gives an exceptionally fast download speed of about 2 megapixels per
second, and so the SXVR-H16 can download a full resolution 16 bit image in only 2.5
seconds.
Please take a few minutes to study the contents of this manual, which will help you to
get the camera into operation quickly and without problems. I am sure that you want
