Congratulations on your purchase of the Orion StarShoot HD Video/Web Broad­ casting Camera (SSHD).

The SSHD is a high resolution color video camera designed for Real-Time Live observation of solar system objects (Moon, Planets and Sun with solar filter and limited bright deep space objects).

The SSHD outputs analogue SD Video (CVBS) for standard TV’s in NTSC or PAL region formats.

The SSHD also outputs digital uncompressed HD Video (HD-SDI) up to 1080p resolution for HD TV’s and Projectors in HDMI format.

The SSHD also outputs digital uncompressed HD Video (HD-SDI) for Broadcast industry compliance SMPTE 292.

The SSHD can be used for the following purposes:

Lunar Imaging

Planetary Imaging

Solar Imaging

Limited Deep Space Imaging (Bright Objects)

Terrestrial Imaging

A computer is not required to use the SSHD as the manual buttons on rear of camera controls all functions. However the included camera control software enables a much more convenient method to control the SSHD camera features by use of buttons, sliders and drop down menus.

The included video capture device enables the user to view and capture live video in SD format on their computers.

Together with the video capture device the SSHD can be setup to broadcast live video over the internet using services such as nightskiesnetwork.com

Video Resolution

The SSHD outputs both High Definition (HD-SDI/HDMI) video as well as Standard Definition (SD/CVBS) video. The included HDMI convertor box con- verts the HD-SDIsignal into a HDMI signal so that the output can be used on standard HD-TV’s and HD-Projectors.

The HD and SD signals are outputted at the same time which gives the user the benefit of having an SD viewing device near the camera and telescope for focus- ing and at the same time have the ability for the HD/HDMI viewing or recording device to be located elsewhere.

For example a telescope could be placed outside with a small TV, Laptop or Orion LCD-DVR (sold separately) for focusing while inside the audience could be watching the HD signal on HD-TV or HD-Projector in the comfort of their own home.
