Introduction
MallinCam bring you a new addition to the SkyRaider Video Camera series. The
DS10c has a 10.7-megapixel Sony IMX294 class 1 hand selected CMOS Industrial
sensor that has no amp glow. The new DS10c has 4 gigabits DDR internal
memory for smooth effective image transfer and ease resources on a USB 3
connection computer. A passive cooling is included with fan assist to keep the
CMOS sensor temperature stable. No Peltier cooler is needed as the software
can eliminate all noises, hot pixels and warm pixels during live application or
during imaging session. Besides, CMOS sensors cannot be deep cooled with
Thermoelectric cooler(s) as delamination will occur among other areas affected
of the CMOS sensor such as the timing generator, A/D converter among a few
other functions will diminished performance greatly and affect life span of the
sensor. The sensor supports full 4K resolution for high resolution live images in full
color.
The smaller package was design with HyperStar compatible type of optical
system where minimal foot print is desired. The DS10c is a compact unit that
comes with a 2" to T mount adapter. The large sensitive sensor will satisfy the most
demanding video imager. The unique Conversion Gain can be activated in
HCG to LCG (High Contrast Gain and Low Contrast Gain) mode where high gain
and low gain is desirable for certain imaging application live or during imaging
condition.
Using the MallinCam SKY software, many features are accessible making the
DS10c a highly desirable camera to own. Features such as Conversion Gain,
Dark Field correction, Flat Field correction, Digital Binning up to 4x4 binning mode
are included increasing sensitivity to levels never witnessed before in a large
format CMOS sensor. Bit Depth from 8 bits to 12 bits is selectable. Black Level,
Histogram, Live Stack in two mode Additive and Averaged are also selectable
while the Frame Alignment Feature keeps all stacking perfectly aligned with one
another even in ALT-AZ mode, a first in the industry of a larger format video
CMOS Camera. Exposure can be from 100 micro-second up to 16 minutes and
40 seconds. The DS10c is fully compatible with the Universe T mount 0.5X focal
reducer.
The MallinCam SkyRaider DS10c comes full equipped with a 5-meter (15 feet)
USB3 high grade cable, 2-inch to T mount adapter, guiding cable, software is
available to download from the MallinCam website.
adjustment possible to produce the finest live image, with the option to save
