Planetary Camera Player One Mars-C II USB3.0 - IMX662 color (STARVIS 2)<\/h3>\n

La Mars-C II<\/strong> is a planetary color camera USB 3.0<\/strong> developed by PO, integrating the brand-new Sony IMX662 sensor<\/strong> in 1\/2.8\u201d<\/strong>. Designed for\u2019planetary imagery<\/strong>, lunar and\u2019EAA<\/strong>, the company stands out for its high sensitivity<\/strong>a exceptional well capacity<\/strong> and above all a total absence of amp glow<\/strong>, This is a major advantage when it comes to obtaining clean, easy-to-process images.<\/p>\n

Latest-generation Sony IMX662 - STARVIS 2 sensor<\/h3>\n

The Mars-C II is based on Sony STARVIS 2<\/strong>, CMOS backlit architecture (BSI) optimized for low light levels. The sensor IMX662<\/strong> offer :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Resolution<\/strong> 1936 \u00d7 1100 pixels (2.1 MP)<\/li>\n
  • Pixel size<\/strong> : 2.9 \u00b5m<\/li>\n
  • Diagonal<\/strong> 6.44 mm<\/li>\n
  • Well capacity<\/strong> 54 ke- (\u2248 4.5\u00d7 more than the IMX462)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This large well capacity makes it possible to better manage the bright areas of planets while retaining fine detail, especially on Jupiter<\/strong>, Saturn<\/strong> and March<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Zero amp glow: a decisive advantage<\/h3>\n

    One of the major strengths of Player One Mars-C II<\/strong> is its dark frame totally free of amp glow<\/strong>. Even when the curves are pushed hard, the background remains clean and uniform. This translates into :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • A well-controlled background noise<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • A simpler, cleaner processing<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • An excellent match for\u2019high-resolution lunar and planetary imaging<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      High speed and stable transmission<\/h3>\n

      Thanks to its interface USB 3.0<\/strong>, the Mars-C II reaches up to 108 frames per second<\/strong> at RAW8 (10-bit ADC)<\/strong> at full resolution. It also features a 256 MB DDR3 cache memory<\/strong>, a Player One exclusive on planetary cameras, which :<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Greatly reduces image loss<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Stabilizes data flow<\/li>\n
      • Reduces playback noise<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The camera retains excellent performance even on a USB 2.0<\/strong>, which makes it highly tolerant of modest computer configurations.<\/p>\n

        DPS and protective electronics<\/h3>\n

        The Mars-C II incorporates DPS (Dead Pixel Suppression)<\/strong>, which analyzes darks to map faulty pixels and dynamically correct them during acquisition. It also features overvoltage and overcurrent protection<\/strong>, to guarantee the safety of the camera and your equipment.<\/p>\n

        High-end mechanical design and ergonomics<\/h3>\n

        The camera adopts the signature Player One design: a hexagonal body<\/strong> combining rigidity and elegance, with a high-end matte red and black finish. Equipped with :<\/p>\n

          \n
        • From a tilt plate 2nd generation sensor<\/strong> (also useful in deep sky)<\/li>\n
        • From a high-density internal seal<\/strong> blocking out stray light<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The name \u201cMars\u201d<\/strong>, engraved on the case, corresponds to the sensor format (1\/2.8\u201d), according to Player One Astronomy's own planetary nomenclature.<\/p>\n
