Starlight Xpress Trius SX-694C USB Hub Color CCD Camera, Sony ICX694AL EXview CCD, Built-in USB 2.0

You can capture stunningly detailed images with the Starlight Xpress Trius SX-694C USB Hub Color CCD Camera, a high-quality imaging solution designed for the most discerning photographers and videographers. This camera is equipped with a Sony ICX694AL EXview CCD sensor, renowned for its exceptional sensitivity and performance in low-light conditions, ensuring that your captures are crisp and vibrant, even in challenging lighting scenarios.

The Trius SX-694C is the epitome of user-friendly innovation, featuring a built-in USB 2.0 interface that simplifies connectivity, allowing for seamless transfer of high-resolution images and videos to your computer. The camera's durable construction includes a robust cooling system, which is meticulously designed for optimal efficiency within a compact form factor. The new peltier cooler configuration achieves a remarkable -40°C delta T, significantly reducing sensor noise for clear, detailed captures.

Versatility is at the core of the Trius SX-694C, with multiple inputs and outputs to enhance your imaging setup. The main control connections include a USB2.0 socket for computer interface and a +12v DC jack socket for power. Additionally, the camera boasts an RJ11 Guider Port output, opto-isolated to drive any standard active low guider input, and comes with an RJ11 'telephone' lead for immediate setup.

For those requiring additional accessories, the camera provides three Mini-5pin USB2.0 sockets, each capable of delivering 5v DC at up to 200mA, perfect for powering devices such as a Lodestar Autoguider, an SX USB Filter Wheel, or a focuser. This innovative feature ensures that your entire imaging system can be streamlined and powered efficiently.

The Trius SX-694C stands out from its competitors with a specially manufactured fused silica window, boasting a seven-layer anti-reflective coating. This not only provides exceptional strength but also superior heat transfer characteristics, greatly reducing the likelihood of dew formation on the window during humid conditions.

Furthermore, the camera's design includes a set-point cooling system as standard, with dry argon injected into the CCD chamber to prevent moisture condensation and enhance the cooling process. The low thermal conductivity of argon assists in achieving a lower delta T, contributing to the camera's impressive performance.

The meticulous engineering extends to the camera's front plate, which is orthogonally aligned to ensure that the CCD and optics are parallel, allowing you to address any collimation issues within the optical train. This feature guarantees that you can achieve pinpoint stars across the entire field, making the Trius SX-694C an ideal choice for astrophotography and other precision imaging applications.

Choose the Starlight Xpress Trius SX-694C USB Hub Color CCD Camera for its innovative features, user-friendly design, and versatile capabilities, and elevate your imaging experience to professional levels.
