ToupTek Kamera ATR3CMOS16000KPA
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2020 10:21 pm
Hi,
i am using this camera some days with sharpcap pro now. (3.2.6448.0)
I want to use the directshow driver, because the image format (4640x3506) with this driver is the same as some other astro software, i am using.
So i can share darks/flats and lights without problems.
The Touptek ASCOM driver saves a different image resolution (4632x3500), these images are not direct usable.
The use of the directshow driver has some restrictions, that i think are not founded in the driver,
but for some reason in sharpcap implementation of this camera.
For example in CAMERA CONTROLS the exposure time can only set in steps by 2x (4s 8s 16s ...)
If i open sharpcap IMAGE CONTROLS -> Filter options the exposure time can be set in steps by 1ms -> "xxxxxx.xxx ms". This addjustment should not be "hidden" in filters, but shouls be in CAMERA CONTROLS as for other cameras.
There are some more filter options, that could simply be shifted to the standard-interface:
- grey/color
- 8bit/12bit
- cooling on/off/temp
On the other side CAMERA CONTROLS -> quick picks ARE "empty" only with touptek direct show.
I would be very grateful, if this could be changed in a future version of sharpcap.
Thank you for your work,
Joerg Bo
