Three new camera core offerings from FLIR
FLIR Systems has announced three Neutrino midwave infrared camera cores: the small, lightweight FLIR Neutrino LC and two FLIR Neutrino Performance series cores, the SX12 and QX.
FLIR Systems, a US-based sensor systems manufacturer has announced three Neutrino midwave infrared (MWIR) camera cores: the small, lightweight FLIR Neutrino LC and two FLIR Neutrino Performance series cores, the SX12 and QX.
FLIR says that the Neutrino LC is its first High Operating Temperature MWIR camera core and is also its first model in the Size, Weight, Power, and Cost series. It can be integrated into smaller drones for longer due to its combination of low weight and lower power consumption. It is able to start imaging two times faster than previous models, allowing optical gas imaging professionals to detect gases faster. Additionally, the Neutrino’s longer operational lifetime allows installation in security applications where maintenance access is restricted, difficult, or costly.
The other two new offerings, the Neutrino SX12 and the Neutrino QX, will offer the highest-resolution MWIR performance from FLIR. According to FLIR, the Neutrino SX12 produces high-definition (HD) thermal imaging video, while Neutrino QX, with more than 3.1 megapixels, is FLIR’s highest resolution MWIR core. Both offer ‘crisp imagery’ at long distances while maintaining a wide field of view and are ideal for ground-based or airborne intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and counter-drone solutions.
“The three new Neutrino cooled camera cores offer significant technological advances, from setting a new bar for size, weight, power, cost, and lifetime, to offering the highest resolution for a midwave thermal camera in its class,” said Jim Cannon, President and CEO of FLIR Systems. “With common industry-standard interfaces, simple and powerful software controls, and technical support, the new Neutrino products empower OEMs to reduce product development risk and shorten time to deployment. The expanded Neutrino line opens opportunities for FLIR to help customers solve challenges, increase efficiencies, and save lives.”
