what is this SX camera please?

I bought this second hand years ago from IIS. its a mono with added cooling fan. Now I want to use it again and cannot get it to work on my Windows 10 computer so far. Can anyone ID it so I can look for specific drivers? I thought it was a H16 but not so sure now. Tried the legacy Sx drivers-could not get it to communicate.
thanks
Grazza

Yep, that looks like an SXVR-H16 to me, with the cooling fan added..?

It’s the 4MP SXVR-H16 variant. That horizontal connector is designed for a proprietary connector to a Lodestar guide camera with a corresponding connector. Both are very reliable but the connecting cable is fiddly and prone to dodgy connections. And no replacements are available.
