iNova Camera not display in v4.1
Hello,
since version 4.1.11824.0, the option iNova Camera is no longer available (see attachment).
I can connect to camera only via ASCOM protocol which allows around 2fps while iNova protocol allows around 20fps.
Thank you.

Re: iNova Camera not display in v4.1
Hi,
I'm sorry to have to confirm that direct iNova support was removed from SharpCap between 4.0 and 4.1, and I do not plan to re-add it in the future. This actually made it to the notes about the 4.1 beta releases (see https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/sha ... p-4-1-beta), but that note never got copied to the main 4.1 download page.
You can continue to use SharpCap 4.0 alongside SharpCap 4.1 on the same computer to maintain access to your iNova camera(s).
The decision was taken to remove iNova support as there has never been a 64-bit version of the SDK (meaning that the 64-bit version of SharpCap - default in version 4.1 - could not access the camera). Additionally there were no SDK updates to fix known bugs - the last update I had was over a decade ago, and the last I heard from them was 7 years ago.
cheers,
Robin
