# SVBONY Astronomy cameras | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
|
||
The INDI SV305 driver supports the SVBONY SV305 and SV305 PRO cameras on Intel (x86, amd64) and ARM (armv6, armv7 and armv8) Linux. | ||
The SV105 and SV205 are UVC devices, please look at this page https://www.indilib.org/ccds/web-cameras.html | ||
The SV305M PRO support is in progress. | ||
|
||
In order to install the driver on Debian based distributions, use: | ||
|
||
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa | ||
> sudo apt-get update | ||
> sudo apt-get install libsv305 indi-sv305 | ||
## Features | ||
|
||
The driver supports single framing and streaming. | ||
|
||
### Supported features: | ||
|
||
- ST4 guiding on SV305 PRO | ||
- ROI (software) | ||
- Binning (software) | ||
- Slow, medium and fast framing | ||
- RAW8 and RAW12 frame format | ||
- Dynamic stretching in RAW12 mode | ||
- Color bayer pattern | ||
|
||
### Known issues (mostly firmware related): | ||
|
||
- Exposures can't be aborted | ||
- Intensive configuration changes could lead to a crash | ||
- Some shifts in frame order had been reported (frame N-1 uploaded instead of frame N) | ||
- SV305M PRO should work, but not tested yet | ||
|
||
### Work in progress: | ||
|
||
- Full SV305M PRO support | ||
- MacOS X support | ||
|
||
## Operation | ||
|
||
### Connecting to SV305 cameras | ||
|
||
Simply connect the camera via USB to your PC or SBC (Single board computer). | ||
The camera can be connected to an external powered hub as well. | ||
You can connect multiple cameras. | ||
|
||
### Main Control | ||
|
||
![Main Control panel](./control_panel.jpg) | ||
|
||
The controls tab provides settings to adjust common camera parameters such as gain, gamma, contrast..etc. | ||
|
||
You may choose between RAW 12 bits depth or RAW 8 bits depth frame format. | ||
|
||
For planetary imaging or fast streaming, use the ***Fast*** framerate. For long exposure, use ***Normal*** or ***Slow***. | ||
|
||
RAW 12 bits depth frames are stored as 16 bits FITS files. | ||
By default, the driver use the 12 least significant bits, | ||
resulting in very dark images. You can then choose a *stretch* factor. | ||
|
||
### General Info | ||
|
||
![General Info panel](./info_panel.jpg) | ||
|
||
This provides general information about the currently running driver and driver version. | ||
It also lets you set the Observer and Object Information for the FITS Header. | ||
|
||
### Miscellaneous | ||
|
||
The other panels are common to all CCDs drivers. | ||
