Page 3: Product Introduction
1 Product Introduction ASI2600MC/MM Duo integrates a main sensor and a guide sensor into one camera. The main Sensor: The main sensor is a Sony IMX571 CMOS equipped with STARVIS technology. It features an APS-C format, a native 16bit ADC and a dynamic range of up to 14stops. The 3.76um small pixel accommodates a large full depth of 50Ke. - Page 4 Guide sensor: The guide sensor is a type 1/1.8 sensor SC2210 (7.68mm width by 4.32mm height). It has 4um x 4um pixels with an array of 1920x1080. As equipped with new technology, the guide sensor has a superb near-infrared sensitivity. Its full well capacity reaches 8780e, and the peak QE reaches 92% at 500nm. The readout noise is as low as 0.6e.
- Page 5 Performance Improvement Let’s compare the specifications of ASI2600MC/MM Pro and ASI2600MC/MM Duo side by side. Note: The default full well capacity of ASI2600MC/MM Duo is 50Ke. But at the gain value of -25, it will be expended to 73Ke. STARVIS technology The main sensir of ASI2600MC/MM Duo is based on Sony STARVIS technology which reduces the amp glow.
- Page 6 factors in enhancing image quality. Traditional CMOS sensors produce a weak infrared light source during exposure, which is quite often seen in the corners of uncalibrated images. It is the tell-tale sign of amp glow. As the main sensor of ASI2600MC/MM Duo uses zero-amp glow design, you won’t have to worry about amp glow when taking images with high gains or long exposure times.

Page 7: Notice For Use
2 Notice for Use Before you use the camera, please read the guide below. All ASI DSO cameras need to be powered via DC12V@3A~5A power supply (D5.5x2.1mm, center positive). Or you can also use a lithium battery. Please note the power supply 11V~14V exceeding the range above will probably lead to irreversible damages to the camera. -

Page 14: Cooling System
3.5 Cooling System Two-stage TEC Cooling The Cooling system of ASI2600MC/MM Duo camera can precisely control the sensor temperature. It can cool the CMOS sensor temperature to 30°~35° below ambient (Test result is achieved at 30℃ environmental temperature), which can greatly reduce dark current. Even the camera is used for long-time exposure imaging sessions, it still gets low noise. -
Page 15: Power Consumption
3.7 Power Consumption ASI2600MC/MM Duo can be powered with a DC 12V@ 3A-5A adapter (D5.5x2.1mm, center pole positive), or a 11-14V lithium battery. The cooling efficiency chart is as following figure shows: Note: When the anti-dew heater is on, and the cooling temperature is at 22℃, the current of the heater is 240mA. -
