IRXCAM-640&160
CAMERA MODULE
The IRXCAM-640 camera core is a flexible module based on a 640 x 480 pixel uncooled FPA but which
may be rapidly modified to accommodate other resolutions and sensor types such as 160 x 120 pixel,
320 x 240 pixel, and 1024 x 768 pixel FPAs. Providing 16-bit raw signal and 8-bit final image outputs
at 60 Hz, the electronics gives total access to the detector configuration parameters.
The output is available in NTSC, PAL, and GigE. An additional VGA output can be used as input for a
microdisplay. TECless operation minimizes power consumption. If required for absolute measurements,
a TEC integrated with the detector package can be controlled. The camera core can be configured for
outdoor operation from -30°C to 55°C with 200°C scene dynamic range at maximum sensitivity. The
camera can also be coupled with a microscan mechanism to provide a high resolution 1280 x 960 pixel
image (HRXCAM-1280).
INO is a world-class center of expertise in industrial applications for optics and photonics, and a
leading technology developer and provider of bolometers and IR module technologies.

GENERAL ARCHITECTURE
The module is composed of a set of electronic boards that handle raw data acquisition and processing, final data formatting,
synchronization with an external source, and data transfer according to various standards. The module is equipped with three
interfaces: a Gigabit Ethernet link for a computer, an NTSC/PAL link for a video monitor, and a VGA/SVGA link for a monitor
or microdisplay. The FPA is mounted on proximity electronics that are adaptable to various FPAs.
