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 SXVF-H36 is a very large format, high-
resolution cooled CCD camera, especially designed for astronomical imaging. The
SXVF-H36 uses a Kodak KAI16000 Interline CCD, with 4008 x 2672 pixels in a
36.1mm x 24.05mm 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 ‘F’ type USB2
interface hardware gives an exceptionally fast download speed of about 2 megapixels
per second, and so the SXVF-H36 can download a full resolution 16 bit image in only
12 seconds.
