CinePlex Cameras and Accessories
Plexon’s CinePlex® System has high precision triggered cameras that are operated in full synchrony with neural data acquisition.
The CinePlex System uses low-noise, standard VGA FireWire cameras. The CinePlex System is capable of supporting from one to four cameras depending on the configuration chosen.
Camera Options
- Stingray
- This camera has a standard resolution and up to 80 frames per second
- Pike
- For researchers who will be recording and tracking quick movements, the Pike camera would be required. For example, if tracking a reaching task while recording neural activity a Pike camera would be optimal.
- Pike cameras have a standard resolution and up to 200 frames per second.
Each camera includes:
- USB 2.0 A to Mini-B 5-pin cable, 15 ft.
- FireWire-B and trigger cables
- Camera heat sink and Manfrotto® RC2 Rapid Connect Adapter with 200PL-14 Plate
- Adjustable Camera Mounting Bracket
