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 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-SDI signal 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.
