The IRE series of high performance infrared imaging engines are based on cooled MCT infrared detectors. A variety of models are available for short-wave SWIR (800nm - 2.5µm), mid-wave MWIR (3-5µm or 1.5-5µm), and long-wave LWIR (7.7-9.5µm or 7.7-11.5µm). The IRE cameras are ideal for easy integration into a wide range of electro-optical systems delivering exceptional sensitivity and spectral performance.
Utilising the full performance of the Sofradir IDDCAs these cameras offer unique flexibility to meet the needs of any application or OEM requirement. Frame rate and integration time can be defined by the user. In addition, the camera permits detector sub-windowing at higher frame rates. Camera communication occurs through a serial interface. 14-bit digital data can be streamed via LVDS or through optional Camera Link and/or Gigabit Ethernet. An IRIG time stamp capability is also available as an option. A variety of software developer toolkits (SDKs) and command software modules are available for further flexibility.
