The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a candidate technology for amedium-sized telescope within the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the nextgeneration ground based observatory for very high energy gamma ray astronomy.The SCT uses a novel two-mirror design and is expected to yield improvements infield of view and image resolution compared to traditional Cherenkov telescopesbased on single-mirror-dish optics. To match the improved optical resolution,challenging requirements of high channel count and density at low powerconsumption must be overcome by the camera. The prototype camera, currentlycommissioned and tested on the prototype SCT, has been developed based onmillimeter scale SiPM pixels and a custom high density digitizer ASIC, TARGET,to provide 1600 pixels spanning a 2.7 degree field of view while being able tosample nanosecond photon pulses. It is mechanically designed to allow for anupgrade to 11,328 pixels covering a field of view of 8 degrees anddemonstrating the full potential of the technology. The camera was installed onthe telescope in 2018. We will present its design and performance includingfirst light data.
