Apollo 428M MAX

Player One Apollo 428M MAX

Key Features

• Sony IMX428 1.1″ CMOS Sensor (Mono):
  7.1 MP at 4.5 µm pixel size; BIN2 mode increases pixel size to 9 µm and boosts full well to ~100 k e⁻.
• Global Shutter & BIN Capability:
  Maintains artifact-free capture; hardware BIN2 achieves up to ~135 FPS RAW8 or ~109 FPS RAW12.
• High Dynamic Range via HCG Mode:
  At gain ≥ 70, read noise drops to ≈2.4 e⁻ with dynamic range near 12 stops.
• Passive + TEC Cooling Systems:
  Combines passive heat dissipation and optional ACS for ±Δ T of 35-40 °C below ambient.
• 512 MB DDR3 Buffer:
  Supports smooth streaming-even via USB 2.0 connections.
• Smooth Amp-Glow & Minimal Banding:
  Sensor exhibits clean performance even with long exposures.
• Lightweight Tilt-Plate Design:
  Carbon-fiber body (~420 g) includes front 3-point tilt plate; rear 4-point available for OAG/filter wheel alignment.

Why Choose This Product?

• Solar-Optimized Sensor Design:
  High full-well and global shutter eliminate motion artifacts and support wide dynamic range solar imaging.
• Speed & Resolution Flexibility:
  Switch between high-res mode and BIN2 accelerated mode to suit solar disk or prominence capture.
• Minimal Artifacts:
  Soft amp-glow and zero horizontal banding enable consistent image quality across exposures.
• Portable Design with Tilt Control:
  Carbon-fiber body with tilt plate geometry offers precise adjustment without compromising weight.
