Next gener­a­tion of Infrared Detector Inter­face Boosts Camera Full-frame Rate

The new ImageIR® 8300 hp with InSb-MWIR focal-plane array photon detector of the latest generation, with (640 x 512) IR pixels, now allows 355 Hz full-frame rate.

Thus, ImageIR® 8300 hp reaches a three times higher frame rate in full frame mode than previous camera systems in this performance category. In combination with ultra-short integration times, ultrafast industrial processes or research tasks can be recorded. Additionally, they can be analysed with maximum detail.

The infrared camera saves images with the following frame rates:

• Full frame: up to 355 Hz
• Half frame: up to 670 Hz
• Quarter frame: up to 1,200 Hz
• Line: up to 5,000 Hz

Like all camera models of this series, ImageIR® 8300 hp reaches an outstanding thermal resolution of better than 0.025 K (25 mK, typically 20 mK). It was developed for the most demanding operations in research and development and process monitoring fields. Its modular structure consists of the optical-, detector- and interface sections. Therefore, this makes the camera easily compatible with the related applications and tailored configurations.

An integrated trigger interface guarantees a repeatable, high-precision triggering of quick procedures. Two configurable digital in- and outputs serve as control ports for the camera. Alternatively, they serve as a generator of digital control signals for external devices.

In combination with InfraTec´s thermographic evaluation software IRBIS® 3 professional, ImageIR® 8300 hp sets new standards as an efficient high-performance tool for demanding thermography studies.

10 GigE Inter­face for a Strong Increase in Output

The new 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface of the high-end camera series ImageIR® opens this extremely fast transmission standard with a NIC specially developed by InfraTec. This works with optical or electrical transceiver modules that are easy to change and are called SFP+.

For all models of the ImageIR® 8300 hp with their (640 × 480) IR pixel detectors, this leads to a transfer rate in the full frame mode up to 355 Hz. Users can store large quantities of data in a computer easily and reliably.

Different 10 GigE fibre SFP+ transceivers allow transmission ranges of up to ten kilometres with the same low sensitivity to electromagnetic interference. A corresponding standard SFP ensures backward compatibility with the conventional GigE interface. Therefore, this combination allows the ease of use of the cameras with the new 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface in existing systems, though at a reduced transmission rate.

Optional System – High­Sense – Always the Optimal Camera Setting

Cameras of the ImageIR® series have a reliable factory calibration. Thanks to HighSense, ImageIR® users have the option of setting up individual temperature measuring ranges based on the factory calibration that best suit the respective task.

• The required temperature range is selected.
• An optimum integration time is calculated.
• Decision to proceed in reverse order.
• Calibration can be retained even in the case of changed integration times.

The software also offers the possibility of storing a large number of such areas clearly arranged. Individually named and permanently stored, the operator can quickly access them. The same applies to changing, renaming and deleting profiles. HighSense is available for different camera models of the ImageIR® series.
