HyperCam HD (1080p at 30fps)

Product Information

A offset of 200 is too high that's using 5% of you dynamic range in offset. 50 or so might be more like it. The latest version of HyperCam features various tools that make screen recordings a breeze. However, the program does have competition.

As I understand it (can someone correct me if I am wrong) the optimal gain (all other things being equal) is where e/ADU (analog digital unit) is closest to 1 ("unity"); I believe this means that each analog electron will correspond to a recorded digital value of 1. My 183c is a 12-bit sensor so each pixel can have a value between 0 and 4095 and in my case a gain value of around 430 (in the 0-5000 range) will allow a full well capacity of around 4096. This does not equate to maximum dynamic range (which comes with lower gain values), nor does it 'amplify' the signal as much as higher gains will if you need to bring out faint signal. I have found that with EAA for example I need to increase the gain significantly to bring out faint signal in short exposures. In case you wish to use HyperCam for the business needs, please review a professional version - HyperCam Business Edition. ? The license is valid for usage on one computer. A separate license is required for each additional PC. Beginning with version 3.0 of Hypercam includes an editor as well, which is built-in in Hypercam. This editor is primarily intended for merging captured and trimming Audio Video Interleaved, Windows Media Video, Advanced Systems Format files. With the embedded media editor, you can cut and join your recordings right after screen capture. It also allows you to record online conferences or webinars for future reference.

Maybe.. the thing is the range of values are different from software to software. The ascom driver I use had gain from 100 to 4999, where as in apt I believe it is different. But I am still trying different settings. It's honestly a little confusing.. In terms of read noise and sensitivity, this camera outperforms any full frame DSLR using the same sensor, or CCD astronomy camera we know of.

Hypercam is primarily intended to create software tutorials, presentations, walkthroughs, demonstrations, and many other different kinds of tasks that the user is willing to demonstrate. HyperCam 2 is free to use software that allows you to capture your full desktop in a multitude of file formats. Not just capturing a window, HyperCam 2 will cover your entire desktop. This means from the movement of your mouse cursors, and the highlighting of icons, to the loading of program windows or even the playing of games; will all be captured by the HyperCam 2. Record and mix two audio channels: a microphone and system audio (useful for Internet call recording)Hypercam captures screen views, keystrokes, and other PC activity that you can use to create manuals, instructional videos, tutorials, and presentations. It's shareware that is free to try for 21 days, though output files have a digital watermark that is removed in the full version. HyperCam is compact and easy to use, but it can record an editable view of your desktop, windows, cursor movements, and other activity in files you can share online or use to create all kinds of digital presentations. It can also record just sound or video. HyperCam requires DirectX 8.0 Runtime or higher. Recent updates include an updated Media Editor, optimized startup speed, and Windows 8 certification. In addition to this, the application records cursor movements and external audio, two features that make the app suitable for recording guides, demos, and tutorials. Once the recording is complete, you can edit the video, add text, change the sound, and display screen notes. You can also select the frame rate of each video and change its compression quality. Is HyperCam free? Gave me a lot of info.. not the hypercam, but same sensor.. Jon Rista seems to suggest that you dont go overboard with the gain on this sensor, as it has bad amp glow and a tendency toward horizontal banding. HyperCam is a user-friendly application that lets you record the entire screen of your device. With its help, you can capture videos, add sound effects, leave comments, enhance cursor movements, change video quality, and do much more.

When it comes to offset I've heard anywhere between 100 and 1000 is safe. Is that the same with this camera? Also something about taking 2 second frames with the camera pointing at a white wall to set the max gain?GPCAM solar system, deepskyand auto-guiding cameras replace your telescope eyepiece for easy, enjoyable imaging.

The Hypercam61M is the ultimate choice for the serious astro imaging enthusiast who wants a full frame camera which will outperform any CCD camera in both in read noise and sensitivity. The camera sensor chamber is guaranteed not to frost for two years in normal use, and has a heated optical window with variable power settings.**HypercamPRO Fan Cooled cameras reduce thermal noise and keep sensor temperature stable. A solid choice for deepskyimaging and video astronomy. Hypercam 2 version, has the possibility to capture the actions from a screen of Microsoft Windows screen and to save this file as an Audio Video Interleaved, Windows Media Video or Advanced Systems Format movie file. HyperCam is screencast and editing tool that is low-cost smart and easy to use piece of software. It is intended to record screen actions, video, webcam and edit captured files. Creating video presentations, tutorials, movies or games recording for professional purposes or just for fun are simple tasks with HyperCam. Free: Although most items similar to HyperCam 2 are not free, HyperCam 2 is. This prevents any barriers to entry when it comes to desktop recording or broadcasting. Money and capital can be instead spent on yourself or reinvestment into your streaming/recording platform.
