DMK 31AF03.AS FireWire CCD Camera.

High resolution, fast refresh rate
The astro CCD cameras DMK 31AF03 unifies three important characteristics for
astrophotography: high resolution, fast refresh rate and a low price. Using the shipped
software - IC Capture - you can save the captured images to lossless and uncompressed AVI
files.

Monochrome Sony® CCD
The astro CCD cameras DMK 31AF03.AS is based on the CCD chip ICX204AL,
manufactured by Sony®. This monochrome CCD has a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels at
1/3" format. Even at long exposure times, its noise is minimal. Due to the high quality of the
ICX204AL, the CCD chip is often used in industrial image processing applications.

No compression, no filter
The image data produced by the CCD camera DMK 31AF03.AS is not compressed.
Furthermore, the camera does not have any optical, nor electronic filters. Thus, the camera
produces very true-to-life captures of the night sky.

Fast data transfer via FireWire
The astro CCD camera DMK 31AF03.AS outputs a fast stream of uncompressed
monochrome images. In order to transfer these to the host PC, a very fast bus is required.
Hence, the camera is fitted with a FireWire connector.

Shipped software for Windows®
This camera ships with the camera driver IC WDM DCAM TIS and the control software IC
Capture.AS.
