Starlight Xpress Trius SX-46 Full-Frame Camera

The Starlight Xpress SX-46 is a full-frame 16.7mp CCD camera that has the KAF-16200 sensor with a APS-H format array of 27x21.6mm, 6uM square pixels. Starlight Xpress has created a custom "roller blind" assembly that uses mini stepper motors for uniform shutter action since full frame chips need a mechanical shutter.

Features:

• No need for a window heater due to the multi-coated synthetic sapphire input window which is 25x better than glass at thermal conductivity. This makes dewing very unlikely even at maximum CCD cooling.

• The stepper driven roller blind shutter is great for robust long term use even at 0.1 second exposure time.

• Compact argon filled CCD chamber with O ring sealing.

• Built-in LED flood Illuminator for RBI elimination (trapped electrons from previous images).

• 6.5 seconds approximate download time for 16.7 mp image.

• A three stage Peltier cooler to give better than -50C below ambient, with an efficient temperature controller to keep power consumption to less than 2 amps at 12v DC.

• Standard 'Trius' 3 port USB 2 hub built-in.

• A compact overall size of 136 mm square and 70 mm deep (+ handles). Only 1.7 Kg total weight.
