See Jim Meadows latest Blog on the DS10c and his results. Click Here
Introducing the latest addition to the SkyRaider Video Camera series from MallinCam - the DS10c. Boasting a 10.7-megapixel Sony IMX294 class 1 CMOS Industrial sensor carefully selected for its absence of amp glow, thanks to MallinCam's exclusive circuit design. With DDR3 internal memory, the DS10c ensures seamless image transfer and resource efficiency when connected to a USB 3-enabled computer. The camera features passive cooling with fan assistance to maintain a stable temperature for the CMOS sensor. The innovative software eliminates noise, hot pixels, and warm pixels during live applications or imaging sessions, rendering the need for a Peltier cooler unnecessary.
Unlike traditional deep cooling methods with Thermoelectric coolers, which risk delamination and performance degradation in various functions of the CMOS sensor, the DS10c prioritizes sensor integrity. It supports full 4K resolution, delivering high-resolution live images in vibrant color.
Designed with a smaller footprint for compatibility with HyperStar optical systems, the DS10c includes a 2" to T mount adapter. The compact unit is equipped with a large, sensitive sensor to meet the demands of even the most discerning video imagers. The unique Conversion Gain feature allows toggling between High Conversion Gain (HCG) and Low Conversion Gain (LCG) modes, catering to specific imaging applications.
The MallinCam SKY software enhances the DS10c's appeal by providing access to a range of features, including Conversion Gain adjustment, Dark Field correction, Flat Field correction, and Digital Binning up to 4x4 binning mode for unprecedented sensitivity in a large format CMOS sensor. Selectable Bit Depth (8 to 12 bits), Black Level, Histogram, and Live Stack modes (Additive and Averaged) further empower users. The Frame Alignment Feature ensures precise stacking alignment, even in ALT-AZ mode—an industry first for a larger format CMOS Camera. Exposure can be adjusted from 100 microseconds to 16 minutes and 40 seconds, and the DS10c is fully compatible with the Optional Universe T mount 0.5X focal reducer.
The MallinCam SkyRaider DS10c package includes a 5-meter (15 feet) high-grade USB3 cable, a 2-inch to T mount adapter, guiding cable, and downloadable software accessible from the MallinCam website. Elevate your imaging experience with the versatile and feature-rich DS10c.
