Up to 60 Frames per Second

The monochrome camera DMK 21 has an ultra-fast 60 frames per second, making it one of the fastest cameras of its kind. This makes the camera ideally suited for monochrome astro-imaging with a very high frame-rate, e.g. for planetary or lunar imaging. The included software IC Capture.AS saves the stream free of comprimation losses as AVI file.

Sony® Monochrome CCD

The Astro-CCD camera DMK 21 uses the Sony monochrome Progressive Scan CCD ICX098BL. With a diagonal of 1/4" it offers a resolution of 640 x 480 Pixels. Even at long exposure times the noise level is very low. Due to its high quality the ICX098BL is frequently used for industrial applications.

No Compression, No Filtering

The DMK 21 CCD camera uses neither data compression nor an IR cut filter, colour filter or any kind of electronical filtering. This allows for maximum sensitivity and very "original" photos of the skies.

Fast Data-Transfer Through FireWire or USB 2.0

The astronomical camera DMK 21 produces non-compressed monochromatic frames at a very high rate. In order to transfer this data stream without losses the camera needs a very fast interface. There are two options: FireWire (IEEE 1394) or USB 2.0

Included Software for Windows®

The camera comes with the driver IC WDM DCAM TIS and the operating software IC Capture.AS. Detailed information on this can be found below under Software.

The colour camera DFK 21 has an ultra-fast 60 frames per second, making it one of the fastest cameras of its kind. This makes the camera ideally suited for colour astro-imaging with a very high frame-rate, e.g. for planetary or lunar imaging. The included software IC Capture.AS saves the stream free of comprimation losses as AVI file.

Fast Colour Imaging

IC Capture.AS performs the colour interpolation from the RAW stream coming from the camera. The workload is thus done by your computer, taking the load off the camera's processor for maximum imaging speed. In case the PC is overloaded it is possible to give the task of colour interpolation back to the camera's processor. In this case the maximum frame rate is a still very good 30 fps. Of course you can also leave the colour interpolation entirely and save the AVI files with RAW images.

Sony® Colour CCD

The Astro-CCD camera DFK 21 uses the state of the art Sony colour CCD ICX098BQ (progressive scan). With a diagonal of 1/4" it offers a resolution of 640 x 480 Pixels. Even at long exposure times the noise level is very low. Due to its high quality the ICX098BQ is frequently used for industrial or scientific applications.

IR Cut Filter

The DFK 21 CCD camera comes equipped with a IR cut filter that cuts off wavelengths beyond 700nm. This results in a colour image very similar to that seen by the human eye.

Fast Colour Imaging

In order to visualize a colour image taken by a CCD camera the RAW format must first be interpolated. This however creates a large amount of information that will limit the frame rate. The DFK 41 allows you to switch-off the interpolation and then offers a frame rate of 15 frames per second. The colour interpolation is then done by the IC Capture.AS software on your computer. Of course you can also leave the colour interpolation entirely and save the AVI files with RAW images.

Software for Imaging Source Astronomical Cameras
Each astronomical CCD camera from Imaging Source contains a driver sofware as well as the operating program IC Capture.AS. Both softwares are made for Windows 2000 and XP.

IC WDM DCAM TIS - Driver for FireWire Astronomical Cameras

The driver IC WDM DCAM TIS is used to operate the Imaging Source astronomical cameras under Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP. With this driver the cameras are DirectX compatible. This allows you to use the cameras with any DirectX compatible astro-imaging software.

Software Requirements

  • PIII/800 MHz, 128 MB
  • 24 or 32 Bit graphics card
  • Windows® 2000/SP2 or Windows® XP
  • DirectX® 9.0c or better

IC Capture.AS - Operating Software

IC Capture.AS was developed by The Imaging Source specifically for their astronomical cameras. The software is included with each astronomical camera. IC Capture.AS allows you to:

  • set and change all camera parameters,
  • view a live image from the camera
  • select single frames and save them as BMP or JPG file,
  • save sequences of single frames as automatically numbered BMP or JPG files,
  • save film sequences free of compression losses as AVI files for further processing with e.g. RegiStax.

Please keep in mind that the system should have the same standard as a DTP or video computer (fast processor, separate fast hard drive for storing data) especially when recording fast sequences of frames.

Recording AVI Files

With IC Capture.AS you can download and save the stream of frames coming from the camera directly as an AVI file. There are two different ways to do this:

  • For compressed AVI files without data loss select one of the Codecs offered by your operating system, e.g. DivX.
  • For non compressed AVI files select one of the codecs supplied by Imaging Source (uncompressed Y800, uncompressed RGB24, uncompressed RGB32, uncompressed UYVY).

Compatible Softwares:

RegiStax (Windows®)

RegiStax is able to read non compressed AVI files generated with the IC Capture.AS software (see "Recording AVI Files").

Astro IIDC (Mac OS)

The Astro IIDC software can be used to operate all Imaging Source FireWire astronomical cameras with Mac OS.

Accessories for Imaging Source FireWire Cameras (not needed for USB cameras)

Power Supply:

When using the camera with a 6/6 pin FireWire cable (see below) on your computer you do not require a separate power supply.

When using a laptop PC you instead need an external power supply. In this case you require the 6/4 pin cable (see below) and one of the two following power supplies that are connected to the Cinch jack on the FireWire cable.
 
12V Cigarette Lighter Cable ( fits the FireWire cable 6/4 pins ) .................... Euro 19.-

This cable connects the camera to a car lighter port, power tank or stationary power supply with a compatible port. It is used with the 6/4 pin FireWire cable (see below) ................................ Power Supply Solutions
12V Power Supply for 220V ( fits the FireWire cable 6/4 pins ) ............................. Euro 29.-

If you have power socket available you can use this 12V power supply. It is connected to the 6/4 pin FireWire cable (see below).

These are the main specificatoins:
- primary 230V/50Hz AC
- secondary 3/6/9/12V DC
- 6 different cinch jacks supplied
- polarity can be switched

Cables & Electronic Adapters:

Firewire Cable 6/6 Pins (1.8m length) ........................................................................... Euro 19.-
 
Zum Betrieb der Kamera an einem PC, welcher über eine Firewire Schnittstelle verfügt, wird dieses Kabel benötigt.Die Stromversorgung der Kamera geschieht dabei über die Firewire Schnittstelle.
Item No. CA-1394-66/3
Firewire Cable 6/4 Pins with separate Cinch power jack (2m length) ........................... Euro 45.-
 
A laptop PC is unable to provide power to the camera through the FireWire cable. Instead most laptops have a 4 pin firewire port. Power is then supplied through a separate Cinch jack. For this we supply suitable power supply solutions (see above).
Item No. CA-1394-64/PJ/2

 
Firewire PCI Card for PC  ............................................................................................. Euro 54.-

This card can be installed in your computer if you do not yet have a firewire port.
Item No. PCI / 1394o1

 
CardBus Adapter Card for Laptop Computers  ............................................................. Euro 69.-

Another way to connect your camera to a laptop is through the PCMCIA slot which most laptops have. This adapter card has a 6 pin FireWire port, so there is no need for an external power supply. In this case you need the 6/6 pin cable.
Item No. for the CardBus Adapter: CBI/1394o1
