ALTAIR GPCAM3 178M - FPS improvement

Hello,

With the last update of Sharpcap (4.1.12395.0 64 bits), i'am very happy to see the FPS of the camera growing from 150 fps max to 300 fps max :) .

It's a very interesting feature . I saw on the update description, "Update Altair SDK to support new models".

Is it the reason why I see this major improvement ?

Thank you for Sharpcap !

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

I wasn't expecting that sort of effect from the new Altair SDK, but maybe there was something that was previously restricting the maximum speed and now that is fixed? I don't have the Altair 178 model to test with, but I have another brand and my experience is that it will do about 50fps at full resolution in 8 bit mode, but much higher when using ROI mode as long as the exposure is short enough.

cheers,

Robin
