A large-format PtSi array (effectively 1k × 0.5k pixels) has been incorporated into an infrared camera intended for survey work using the 0.75-m telescope at Sutherland. The array is very uniform and almost free of cosmetic defects. The camera, its electronics and the operational procedures that we use are described, together with the methods of data reduction. The limiting magnitudes that can be observed in the JHK broad bands are given.
