You will also need a PC computer with Windows10 installed. Most older versions of
Windows will work (XP and above) but our Starlight Vision Software is not supported
by versions below Windows7. The machine must have at least one USB 2.0 port
available and at least 4GB of memory. If you intend to view the finished images in its
screen, then you will also need a graphics card capable of displaying an image with
minimum of 1024 x 768 pixels and 24 bit colour. A medium specification i7 machine
is ideal, but most modern computers are OK. Please note that USB 2.0 operates at a
very high speed and cannot operate over very long cables. Five metres of good
quality cable is the maximum normally possible without boosters or extra powered
hubs, although you can sometimes get good results at longer distances with very
high quality cables.
Installing the USB system:
First, find a free USB socket on your PC and plug in the USB cable (do not connect the
camera at this time). The camera requires only a USB2.0 port, but will work Ok on
most USB3 ports, if that is all that is available.
The next operation is to run the software installer from the USB stick provided. Insert
the stick into the computer and wait for Windows Explorer to open with the list of
folders on the ROM. Now run the SETUP.EXE file that it contains – this will initiate
the self-install software which will guide you through the process of installing the SX
camera software onto your computer. Note that XP machines require an older driver
version and you can find this at
