New Direct Digital Headstages!

ZIF-Clip® Digital (ZCD) line of direct to digital headstages offer the industry’s smallest and highest channel count digitizing headstages. They utilize Intan’s highly integrated amplifier chip and TDT’s patented ZIF-Clip technology to yield a low noise electrode recording interface with low wire count and zero insertion force connection.

  • Low Wire Count
  • Compact Structure
  • Zero Insertion Force
  • Battery Powered Isolation

New RS4 Data Streamer!

The RS4 stores data streamed from the RZ2, our most powerful processor for high channel count data acquisition. Off-loading data streaming tasks from the RZ2 to the RS4 improves real-time performance and allows you to acquire continuous data over several days or weeks.

Using a single RS4 with multiple RZ2s, you can stream up to 1024 channels at rates up to 25 kHz and fewer channels at rates up to 50 kHz. Streamed data is stored as individual channels and can be easily reincorporated in to the OpenEx data tank format. The RS4 is available with either 4 terabytes or 8 terabytes of storage.
