Two new Player One Artemis Cameras have been released, the Artemis-C Pro and the Artemis-M Pro. Both are cooled cameras and are designed for DSO imaging.
The Artemis-C Pro utilizes the Sony IMX294 4/3″ format color sensor. The 4.63um pixel size accommodates a well depth of 65.8Ke with a total of 11.7MP (the resolution is 4144*2824) and the diagonal is 23.2mm.
The Artemis-M Pro adopts the Sony IMX492 4/3″ format monochrome sensor. The 2.315um pixel size accommodates a well depth of 18.6Ke with a total of 48MP (the resolution is 8288*5648) and the diagonal is 23.2mm.
Both new Player One Artemis Cameras offer a rear adjustable tilt plate which offers 4-point adjustment and removes the need to adjust tilt from the front of the camera. The 512MB DDR3 cache helps stabilize and secure data transmission helping to avoid frame dropping and greatly reducing readout noise. The cameras offer a Two Stage TEC Cooling unit designed to remove the heat allowing the camera to reach a Delta-T of over 40℃.
