USB2 Interface Kit
USB2 Interface Kit

USB2 Interface Kit
This new USB2 interface module is designed to give older parallel port cameras the ability to use the SXV guide camera and benefit from the faster download speed of USB 2.0.

Compatible with MX516, MX5C, MX716, MX7C, and MX916.

Includes interface box and cables (does not include camera, guider, or power supply as shown above).

The camera output socket in this interface can be used for STAR2000 guiding (M series cameras only!), so long as it is fed to the 'autoguider' input of the mount. (Guiding via RS232 is already 'dongle free'.)
