New G900 cooled broadband MWIR cameras
The G900 series of cameras provide the same imaging resolution and performance as the IRC900 Series scientific cameras, but at a lower price point. The G900 Series is based on a closed cycle Stirling cooled sensor engine. Users can quickly and easily vary integration time, frame rate and window size. With SD and HD sensor formats, and customized Dewar configurations, the G900 Series offers customers easy integration and customization for personalized applications, at a competitive price point. Providing multiple outputs, users can view imagery directly from the G900 Series cameras using HD-SDI, and acquire and display digital data via GigE. Software options include WinIRC and a software developer’s kit to allow the user to acquire, display and analyze data from the G900 series cameras
Features:
- Broadband spectral response (<1 to >5 µm) with optional cold filter (3-5 µm, CO2, eSWIR or custom)
- High intrinsic dynamic range that can be further extended with superframing (cycling between up to 4 different exposure times)
- Increased frame rates with windowing in both X and Y directions (min = 32 x 4 pixels)
- Short exposure times as low as 550 ns
- Ultra low latency sync (<200 ns)
- GigE Genicam compliant interface (data + control)
- HD-SDI video output for passive monitoring
- f/2, f/2.3 and f/4 cold shield options
- Small form factor (4″ x 4.8″ x 7.6″)
