The OGMA AP26CC and AP26MC cameras have a 16bit Analog Digital Convertion (ADC). It also have a 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution.
Higher ADC allows capturing more tonal values, deeper shadows and smoother gradients.
Particualrly interesting to those who are doing planetary imaging and lucky imaging, the AP26CC and AP26MC cameras also support Region of Interest (ROI) at the hardware level. When the user selects a ROI, the camera only has to transmit data from a partial region of a sensor allowing the output of data at a higher framerate. The smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate will be.
