The paper describes a piece of a development process for a new generation of high performance, remote control, CCD camera system designed for astronomical applications. A completely new image acquisition system residing on a highly integrated PCBs was designed, manufactured, tested and commissioned. The design process lead through largely redundant PCB design and tests with implemented such features like NIOS, CCD emulator, and a number of open source software. The CCD sensor was positioned in a different way than previously, resulting in better performance of the astronomical video data acquisition system. The Software solutions for the camera and its remote control, as well as image data acquisition are based only on the open source platform. The camera supports both API V4L2 driver and INDI protocol. It will be replicated in 20 pieces and is designed for continuous on-line, wide angle observations of the sky in the Pi-of-the-Sky experiment. The full system, largely reduced in redundant functionalities, thus, with increased reliability, is now under production stage and will be soon implemented in real work conditions.camera was built using a low-noise, 4Mpixel CCD circuit by STA. The electronic circuit of the camera is highly parameterized and reconfigurable, as well as modular in comparison with the solution of first generation, due to application of open software solutions and FPGA circuit. New algorithms were implemented into the FPGA chip. There were used the speed USB2.0 interface, dedicated image processor, GigEth interface, SDRAM and FLASH memories, ARM926EJ-S ARM processor.
