ThermaCAM™ Phoenix (FLIR Systems)
  |
The Phoenix is the perfect choice for any infrared industrial, scientific, non-destructive testing or military application that requires the highest flexibility and performance. The Phoenix features 14-bit extended dynamic range, snapshot exposure mode, high frame rate capability and excellent resolution within a small, rugged package. The Phoenix is a modular system, consisting of a camera head and a signal processing electronics back end, the Real-Time Imaging Electronics (RTIE) or Data Acquisition System (DAS). |
Extremely sensitive InSb detector delivers unmatched image quality
Extremely small temperatures are easily detected by the cooled InSb (Indium Antimonide) sensor in the Phoenix. The InSb detector offers extraordinary midwave (3.0 µm - 5.0 µm or 1.5 µm - 5.0 µm options available) imaging performance and provides ultra-precise measurement accuracy and superior image resolution of 320 x 256 pixels.
Advanced CMOS Sensor Design Features
Phoenix infrared sensors are built using FLIR’s own standard CMOS readout integrated circuits (ROICs). These ROICs offer many advanced features, including snapshot (simultaneous) pixel exposure, adjustable gain, variable exposure times, windowing, and invert/revert.
Real-time 14-bit digital output and analysis
Utilizing the 14-bit RS-422 digital output connector on the RTIE, the Phoenix can feed continuous digital data at 14.75 megapixels per second into a PC for recording and analysis. The DAS has the ability to take up to 40 megapixels per second of the digital data straight from the camera head into the PC based system for analysis and storage. Both systems are compatible with a wide variety of software packages.
Broad dynamic range
With the Phoenix you can analyze individual frames that cover wide temperature ranges and still be able to detect minute thermal differences.
High-speed data acquisition
The Phoenix has the ability to output extremely high data rates of up to 345 Hz in full frame rate and up to 38 kHz utilizing windowing modes.
Robust design
Designed for severe environments, the camera head offers both conductive and convective cooling for operation over wide ranges of temperature and environmental conditions.
A wide range of accessories
FLIR Systems offers a wide range of optics to support all possible applications ranging from telescopes to microscopes. All Phoenix lenses are interchangeable.
Real-Time Imaging Electronics (RTIE)
The Real-Time Imaging Electronics (RTIE) is a dedicated electronics subsystem that provides both analog and digital video, at data rates up to 14.75 megapixels per second. The RTIE furnishes real-time pixel gain and off-set corrections, and generates PAL (NTSC optional), as well as S-Video. The Phoenix employs a “Split” architecture configuration under which the camera head is separated from the electronics by either a 3 or 13 meter interface cable. The Phoenix is designed to be remotely controlled through a graphical user interface (GUI) camera control application, running on a user-furnished PC. The Phoenix architecture supports field installation of camera software updates.
DAS Electronics
The DAS includes a proprietary camera interface/sync processor board capable of handling data rates up to a maximum of 40 megapixels per second. The Phoenix system’s “split” architecture configuration allows for 3 or 13 meter separation between camera head and DAS electronics. Synchronization modes, windowing capabilities and triggering features of the RTIE are common to the DAS system. One key difference between RTIE and DAS systems is a provision for two additional read-out channels in the DAS. This enables DAS electronics to capitalize on and extract the maximum performance capabilities of the FPA. Frame rates of 38 kHz are supported.
