TC12-100 / TC17-100
Uncooled Thermal Camera Modules
TC17/TC12 Series thermal cameras offer high imaging performance and used in many military and industrial applications such as surveillance systems, UAVs, IR seekers, thermal weapon sights and driver vision cameras.
TC12-100 and TC17-100 devices are 12 μm and 17 μm pixel pitch thermal camera modules which offers excellent thermal imaging performance. They are ultra-low power (as low as 600 mW) and has ultra-fast start-up time (smaller than 2 seconds).
These products support 640×480, 1024×768 and 1280×1024 sensor resolutions with up to 60 fps frame rate. Beside analog video interface Parallel video, Camera Link video, Ethernet and SDI digital video interfaces are supported.
They can be customized to control peripheral devices such as Day TV cameras, analog/digital OLED displays, continuous zoom optics and laser range finders. By this way, they offer ultra-compact system solutions to their users.
