Introduction 

The

 

ProComp Infiniti™ encoder is an eight (8) channel, multi-modality device for real-time 

computerized biofeedback and data acquisition. It has 8 protected pin sensor inputs with two 
channels sampled at 2048 s/s and six channels sampled at 256 s/s. The ProComp Infiniti encoder 

is able to render a wide and comprehensive range of objective physiological signs used in clinical 

observation and biofeedback. 

 

 

 

The ProComp Infiniti basic package includes the following hardware: 

ƒ

 

One eight-channel ProComp Infiniti encoder unit 

ƒ

 

One TT-USB interface unit 

ƒ

 

A supply of fiber optic cable (1’ and 10’ cables) 

ƒ

 

Four alkaline ‘AA’ batteries 

 

Thought Technology’s advanced design and active electronic sensors meet exacting standards for 

instrument accuracy, sensitivity, durability, and ease of use.  All sensors are completely non-

invasive and require little or no preparation for use.  Depending on the software being used with 
the ProComp Infiniti encoder, these may include sensors specialized for: 

ƒ

 

Electromyography (EMG) 

ƒ

 

Electrocardiography (EKG) 

ƒ

 

Electroencephalography (EEG) 

ƒ

 

Skin Conductance 

ƒ

 

Skin Temperature  

ƒ

 

Voltage Isolation 

ƒ

 

Respiration waveform, rate, and amplitude 

ƒ

 

Blood Volume Pulse waveform, heart rate, and 
amplitude (BVP) 

ƒ

 

Goniometer 

ƒ

 

Force 

ƒ

 

Torsiometer 

 

The sensors pass signals to the host computer via the microprocessor-controlled ProComp Infiniti 

encoder unit.  The encoder samples the incoming signals, digitizes, encodes, and transmits the 

sampled data to the TT-USB interface unit.  A fiber optic cable is used for transmission, providing 

maximum freedom of movement, signal fidelity, and electrical isolation. Cable lengths up to 25 

feet can be used without signal degradation.  A unique feature of the system design allows inputs 
to accept any sensor, interchangeably (except the raw EMG MyoScan sensors which are used on 

channel A and B). This allows a wide variety of configurations to be created by simply changing 

the sensor types.   

 

The TT-USB interface unit is connected to one of the host computer’s USB ports. It receives the 

data arriving from the encoder in optical form and converts it into the USB format to 

communicate with the software. 

 

Please note, some hardware features may not be supported by all software programs.  Consult the 
software manual for a full list of features supported.
