OmniPlex-S vs. Recorder-S
Two ways to run SiNAPS active pixel sensor probes. OmniPlex-S adds full online spike sorting across up to 4 probes; Recorder-S is a simpler, single-probe entry point for recording and visualization. Compare the two to find the right fit for your lab.

Which One Is Right for You?
Choose OmniPlex-S if…
- You need online spike sorting while you record.
- You're running up to 4 SiNAPS probes at once, for up to 2,048 channels.
- You need video synchronization with CinePlex.
- You need analog and digital I/O to integrate with other systems like PlexBright.
Choose Recorder-S if…
- One SiNAPS probe and up to 1,024 channels covers your experiment.
- You want to record and visualize signal, without online sorting.
- You want a simpler, lower-cost entry point into the SiNAPS product line.
- You don't need video synchronization or multi-probe support.
