The HD Open Field sets a new standard in activity monitoring by combining ultra-high resolution with an optimized frame design. With a beam grid expanded from 16×16 to 64×64 and ¼” spacing, researchers gain 16× more resolution for unparalleled tracking detail. The new low-profile ½” frames replace the standard 1” design, delivering enhanced accuracy in rearing detection while minimizing interference. Built for precision and reliability, the HD Open Field empowers researchers to capture a clearer picture of animal behavior than ever before.

Additional Features include:

• The device records the animal’s position every 50 ms (20 times per second).
• The record period has been increased to 24 hours.
• The number of zones in the Zone Map feature increased from 8 to 20.
• Besides doing a full diagnostic check every time data is collected, the High-Resolution device also self-calibrates each session to ensure accurate data collection!
• The option to select European or US date format as the default;
• Ability to record up to 5 animal specific characteristics;
• Storing up to 24 hours of data on each station in addition to permanent data storage on the host PC to protect data in case of a PC loss;
• Playback feature allows user-selected playback speed of “real time” up to 60 times real time; and
• Improved functionality for industry-pioneered HotSpot feature.
