A compact 640×512, 12 μm uncooled LWIR module with 50 Hz SDI output, ≤20 ms latency, RS422 control, and a 35×35×30 mm-class envelope.

Engineering profile

This page describes the standard SDI configuration. Fixed-focus and continuous-zoom lenses are available by program. The 5 V architecture and low mass suit embedded payloads where start-up time, latency, and power are tightly constrained.

Key capabilities

  • Detector: Uncooled LWIR
  • Resolution: 640×512 @ 50 Hz
  • Pixel pitch: 12 μm
  • Spectral band: 8–14 μm
  • Thermal sensitivity: NETD ≤45 mK @ 25 °C
  • Lens configuration: 6.6/13/19/25/35/100 mm; zoom 30–137 or 23–230 mm
  • Video output: SDI; latency ≤20 ms
  • Control interface: RS422, 115200 bps

Image processing and control

The module provides shutter and background non-uniformity correction, image enhancement, horizontal/vertical flip, electronic zoom, white-hot/black-hot polarity, gain and brightness control, on-screen display, self-test, and software-version reporting.

Integration notes

Specifications reflect the supplied technical document. Lens, connector, mechanical, and environmental options may be finalized for the target program.

Typical applications

Compact gimbals, handheld thermal devices, vehicle vision, perimeter cameras, robotics, and multi-camera panoramic thermal systems.
