2PAS 280MP MK2 Overview
The PAS 280MP MK2 is a large format, photogrammetric, large area coverage system, with a central projection resolution of 20,150
x 14,118 pixels using the latest BSI CMOS sensors.
The aerial system comprises the camera(s), Phase One iX Controller with an integrated Applanix GNSS, IMU and SOMAG mount.
2.1 Hardware
The following figure shows the main components of the PAS 280MP MK2 with the iX Controller.
The following PAS 280MP MK2 components are preassembled in and form part of the PAS 280MP MK2 frame:
•IMU
•iX Controller
•1 RGB camera and 1 achromatic camera (optional)

2.1.1 iX Controller
The iX Controller is the communication center, and 1 TB data storage for the PAS. Based on Microsoft Windows 10, it is responsible
for controlling power and communication for all ancillary systems. The storage solution consists of 2 x 500 GB SATA SSDs. For more
information on storage, see Appendix C - Data Storage Management.
The iX Controller includes an integrated Applanix AP+ GNSS.
2.1.2 iXM-RS280F Camera Head and Lenses
The iXM-RS280F camera head uses two BSI CMOS sensors operated through two 90mm Rodenstock lenses. The iXM-RS280F
camera produces a geometrically accurate 284 MP central projection image. The iXM-RS280F can capture up to 2 frames per
second.

2.1.3 SOMAG DSM 400 Mount
The SOMAG is a high-performance gyro-stabilized platform that compensates for roll, pitch and drift movements in real-time. The
dynamic reaction times and the compensation ability of this platform ensures your imagery remains fully vertical even in
challenging conditions, while maintaining the high levels of accuracy and efficiency.
SOMAG DSM 400 Mount is an electromechanical gimbal system.
2.1.4 Single-Band PAS 280MP MK2 Frame
The PAS 280MP MK2 frame enables mounting of the cameras and iX Controller. The PAS 280MP MK2 frame legs allow placing the
PAS 280MP MK2 frame on a maintenance bench while maintaining sufficient clearance for the camera lenses.

2.1.5 Applanix GNSS/IMU
The Applanix GNSS/IMU contains a precision GNSS receiver and inertial sensor components, logging capability, and interfaces for
mapping sensors and flight management systems.
Data such as geographic position (latitude, longitude and attitude), velocity, acceleration, angular rate, orientation (roll and pitch),
ground track and performance metrics are available in real-time and through post-processing.
The Applanix GNSS/IMU is comprised of the Applanix AP+ card integrated in the iX Controller. The Applanix AP+ cards can be used
with the following IMU models:
AP+ 180 with IMU-69
AP+ 310 with IMU-82
AP+ 510 with IMU-91
AP+ 610 with IMU-57
Note
For detailed information on the differences between the above Applanix GNSS/IMUs, refer to www.applanix.com.
The Applanix GNSS is configured and managed through a browser-based application supported by the Applanix AP+ card. You can
access the application through the shortcut on the iX Controller software taskbar.
