Read noise includes pixel diode noise, circuit noise and ADC quantization error noise. The lower the better. As you can see, the Read Noise of the ASI482 camera is extremely low. The built-in HCG mode can even more reduce the read noise at high gain and keep the same wide dynamic range for this camera as at low gain.
5.3 USB 3.0 port & ST4 port USB 3.0 Port: Providing 5Gb bandwidth to let ASI482 run at 82.5fps (10bit, high speed mode) or 57.5fps (12bit, normal mode) at full resolution (2 Mega). ST4 Port: Can be used to connect with auto guide port of mount for guiding.
5.5 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) The ASI482 camera records in 12bit ADC and 10bit ADC. You can image at a faster fps rate if you choose to use 10bit ADC (high speed mode). This camera also supports ROI (region of interest) shooting, and this smaller ROI has faster fps.
