Technical FAQ
Lens Mount: C (1.1″) / F / M42 (model dependent). Use a lens image circle that covers the sensor and check flange distance before adding C/CS, F-mount or M42 adapters.
Sensor: VPS2163A (sCMOS) · Resolution: 557.1 MP (20480×27200). Match pixel pitch to the diffraction-limited spot the optics deliver. Sampling finer than the optics resolve multiplies data volume without adding information; sampling coarser discards resolution you have paid for.
Frame Rate: 0.17 fps @ 20480×27200 (≈6 s/frame) · Interface: USB 3.0 (5 Gbps). Confirm the host can sustain the interface bandwidth continuously, not in burst. A camera that outruns the write path stalls acquisition rather than dropping quietly to a lower rate.
GPIO: 1× optically isolated input, 1× optically isolated output, 2× TTL programmable I/O. Confirm edge polarity, pulse-width limits and whether each line is opto-isolated before connecting TTL or GPIO signals. A software exposure command is not equivalent to a hardware trigger.
Dynamic Range: Available on request. Judge these figures at the exposure time you will actually use. Cooling matters where dark current accumulates over seconds; read noise dominates short exposures where it never does.
