Title: Atik 460ex and 490ex ASCOM driver reporting as monochrome
Post by: jcinpv on September 22, 2019, 06:03:47 pm

This is rather disturbing. Using the latest Ascom driver for the Atik cameras, and using SharpCap 3.2 pro, the Ascom driver is reporting the cameras as monochrome cameras and not as color cameras. Hence, using SharpCap, I have no RGB control and several other options are missing. I can force the Debayer as GRGB to see color and open the histogram control to then adjust RGB levels, but this is not how it should be working.
 
So why Is the Ascom driver reporting the cameras as a monochrome? Or is there a different Ascom driver that I should be using?

Using the Infinity app works fine. There are features in SharpCap that I want to use.

I noticed the same thing when attempting to use my Horizon OSC. My Horizon mono seemed to work just fine. In previous Core releases, the ASCOM driver profile would allow you to toggle between T and F for the "is color" line. Not an option now that I can see.
