QHY163C — 16MP 4/3" CMOS Cooled Camera

• 16MP 4/3" colour CMOS sensor

• 16 megapixels

• 2.4e- readout noise

• Cooled CMOS camera

• USB3.0

• 4K UHD video capability

QHY163C camera has a 4/3 inch, 16 megapixels CMOS sensor. Available in both mono and color version. USB3.0 interface. 23FPS @ 16 megapixels full resolution output, 30FPS @ 4K HD video output. 

QHY163C has very low readout noise and 8/12bit ADC. Two stage TEC cooling provides a maximum temperature delta of 40ºC below ambient. It has fully airproof CMOS chamber and electric heater for the optics window to prevent the dew from forming.

The QHY163C comes standard with USB3.0 interface providing a blazingly fast download speed. A built-in 4 pins filter wheel connector allows you to use QHYCCD filter wheel directly without extra connection needed. A 6 pins guiding port is also provided if you want to use this as an autoguider, particularly for long focal length imaging scope OAG setup.

128MB DDR Buffer

As a member of QHYCCD's high pixel counts CMOS camera, QHY163M/C has a built-in 128MB DDRII image buffer. The generous buffer helps facilitating large image transfer, preventing frame lost after long exposure while transferring and allows the camera to run smoothly when used with low performance computer or USB2.0 port.

Full Anti-Dew Solution

With more than ten years of experience in cooled CCD camera design, QHYCCD applies the fully anti-dew technology to the QHY163 including the fully air proof CMOS chamber with silicon gel tube socket and CMOS window heater. With these technologies you do not need to worry about the dew formed on both CMOS sensor and the optics window, even in a high humidity environment.
