The very low power comsummation system (<100mA) provides an advanced digital timing generator to trigger a digital CCD Kodak coupled with a Hasselblad camera.
In addition the system provides a synchro pulse trigged by the shutter of the camera to permit time stamping trough a GPS receiver.
Thanks to the very low power consummation, the system is always powered on. Battery permits a standby time of about 15'000 pictures within 3 years.
