8. Performance Chart
8.1 QE Curve & Readout Noise
QE curve and readout noise are the most important parameters to measure
camera performance. Higher QE and lower readout noise are necessary
conditions to improve the image signal-to-noise ratio.
07
6.50

Readout noise includes pixel noise, circuit noise, and ADC quantization noise.
The lower the readout noise, the better. As shown in the figure, the readout noise
of the SV405CC is very low compared with conventional CCD cameras. Built-in
HCG mode, which can effectively reduce readout noise at high gain, so that the
camera maintains the same wide dynamic range as at low gain. When the gain is
120, the HCG mode is automatically turned on, the readout noise is as low as
1.2e, and the dynamic range can still reach a level close to 14bit. The parameter
settings are also different depending on your shooting target. Turn down the
gain, the dynamic range will become larger, suitable for long exposures. Increase
the gain, the readout noise will be further reduced, which is suitable for short
exposure or lucky imaging.
8.2 Power Consumption
The SV405CC camera is a low-power camera. When the camera is powered by
a USB cable, the maximum power consumption is 1.85W. But for cooling
function, you need to use a 12V@5A power adapter (D5.5*2. lmm, center
positive), or you can use a lithium battery (supports a wide range of 11V to 15V).
The picture below is the cooling efficiency diagram of our freezer camera. A
cooling temperature difference of 30 degrees only requires a current of 0.5A.
8.3 TEC Cooling System
The TEC cooling system of the SV405CC camera can precisely control the
temperature of the sensor. Different from the traditional CCD, the SV405CC
camera has ultra-low readout noise, efficient cooling and adjustable gain. It is no
longer necessary to use ultra-long exposures to capture targets, which greatly
reduces the requirements for the camera system and guide star system.
However, if short exposures are used (e.g. less than 100ms), cooling has little
08

effect on the image. The cooling system can be set to a minimum of 35~40°C
below the ambient temperature (Tested based on ambient temperature of 30°C).
Please note that the maximum temperature difference may fluctuate after
pro-longed use. Meanwhile, when the ambient temperature decreases, the
cooling temperature difference will also decrease accordingly. The figure below is
the dark current curve of the SV405CC sensor between -20°C and 35°C.
8.4 AR Coating Filter
The SV405CC camera sensor is equipped with a protective window and uses an
AR coated filter.
09

9. Other Special Functions
9.1 DDR High-speed Memory
The SV405CC camera has a built-in 256MB (2Gb) DDR3 high-speed memory to
buffer image data to ensure stable data transmission. And it can effectively
reduce the glow effect caused by slow readout speed.
9.2 Ultra-short Back Intercept
The back intercept of the SV405CC can be shortened to 6.5mm, allowing
compatibility with more devices and lenses.
9.3 Pixel Binning
The SV405CC camera supports Bin1, Bin2, Bin3, Bin4 software pixel binning
modes.
10. Equipment Care and Maintenance
Protect the Refrigerator
Thermal shock should be avoided when using the camera. The so-called thermal
shock refers to the internal strong stress that the refrigerator has to bear due to
the principle of thermal expansion and contraction when the temperature of the
refrigerator suddenly rises or falls. Severe thermal shock can shorten the life of
the cooler or even damage it completely. Therefore, when you start using the
cooler to adjust the temperature of the CMOS, you should avoid turning on the
cooler to maximum power at once. Instead, the power of the cooler should be
gradually increased. Before disconnecting the power supply, if the power of the
cooler is relatively high, the power of the cooler should be gradually reduced,
and then disconnect the power supply.
CMOS Care and Maintenance
Cleaning of CMOS Sensors and Optical Window
If you find dust on the CMOS sensor, you can remove the front half of the
camera. Then use the cleaning kit for DSLR camera sensors to clean the CMOS
sensor. You must be careful when cleaning it. You can also use a DSLR cleaning
tool or lens tissue to clean it. Be careful not to use too much force, because the
coating of the CMOS sensor is very fragile and can be scratched easily. The
general identification of whether the dust is on the sensor or on the window glass
is as follows.
10

Dry Camera CMOS Chamber
The CMOS sensor is located in the CMOS chamber. There is a hole on the side
of the front of the camera. If moisture in the CMOS chamber fogs the sensor
glass, you can dry it by connecting a silicone tube through this hole. Please put
an effective silica gel desiccant in the silica gel stick and make sure that there is
cotton inside to prevent silica gel from entering the CMOS chamber.
Prevent Fogging of Optical Windows in CMOS Sealed Chamber
If the ambient humidity is very high, the optical window of the CMOS sealed
chamber may have condensation problems. The camera has a built-in heating
plate that heats the sensor to prevent fogging. In most cases, its effect is very
noticeable. If the fogging problem persists, please try the following methods:
1. Avoid the camera facing the ground. Cold air is denser than hot air. If the
camera is facing down, it will be easier for the cold air to come into contact with
the glass and cause it to cool and fog.
2. Increase the temperature of the CMOS sensor. You can raise the temperature
of the CMOS sensor a little to prevent glass fogging.
3. Check whether the heating plate is working. If the heating plate is not working,
the glass will be very easy to fog up. Under normal circumstances, the
temperature of the heating plate can reach 65-70°C under the environment of
25°C. If it does not reach this temperature, it is possible that the heating plate is
damaged and you can contact us to replace the heating plate.
