Player One Astronomy Zeus 455M PRO USB3.0 Monochrome Cooled Camera (IMX455)

NEW! Player One Astronomy Zeus 455M PRO Monochrome Cooled Camera (IMX455) Product Description: The ZEUS 455M Pro cooled camera, developed by Player One Astronomy, is designed for advanced DSO imaging and adopts the Sony industrial-grade IMX455ALK-K full-frame monochrome sensor. The 3.76um pixel size allows for a full well capacity of 71.6Ke with a total of 61MP (resolution is 9576*6388) and a diagonal of 44.3mm. 4-point sensor tilt plate with rear adjustment When shooting deep-sky objects, using the sensor tilt plate can significantly reduce telescope field curvature. The adoption of rear adjustment and the 4-point tilt plate offers numerous advantages during use. The 4-point adjustment makes it easier to know which angle needs to be adjusted. The built-in high-density sponge shading pad can block light from side gaps without any side leakage. To understand the 4-point adjustment method, we have created an example for users: Deep cooling The Player One cooled camera series uses a 2-stage TEC cooling unit; after improving the structure design to reject heat into the camera chamber, the Zeus Camera Delta-T can reach about 35?. 512 MB DDR3 Cache As an upgrade, the DDR3 cache in the cooled cameras has been increased to 512 MB. It helps stabilize and secure data transmission, effectively avoids frame drops, and greatly reduces readout noise. Thanks to the DDR3 cache, the camera no longer has high computing demands, yet still guarantees excellent performance even if connected to a USB 2.0 port. STARVIS Technology The ZEUS 455M Pro cooled camera is based on Sony's STARVIS technology, a back-illuminated pixel technology used in CMOS image sensors. Full-frame format The ZEUS 455M Pro cooled camera features a full-frame format (36mm*24mm), which is very suitable for professional DSO imaging. Native 16-bit ADC The IMX455 features a native 16-bit on-chip ADC. The native 16-bit ADC (65536 levels) provides higher sampling resolution than 12-bit (4096 levels) or 14-bit (16384 levels). When performing a non-linear transformation, 16-bit data is able to withstand very strong transformation and improve the transition between light and dark.
