Micro-SWIRtm 640CSX Camera

Mil-Rugged, High Sensitivity, Small SWaP, InGaAs SWIR Camera
The compact Sensors Unlimited Micro-SWIR™ 640CSX is the next- FEATURES
generation SWIR video camera, designed for applications requiring ■ 640 x 512 pixel format, 12.5 μm pitch

small Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) applications and available ■ 30 or 60 frames per second full frame rate
without ITAR restriction. ■ 1.5 W power consumption (@ 20° C)

■ High sensitivity 0.9 to 1.7 μm spectrum

It features a 640 x 512 pixel, high-sensitivity, stabilized InGaAs snapshot
response imager; NIR/SWIR from 0.7 to 1.7 μm
imager and uses our advanced image enhancement algorithms to
■ Low light to daytime imaging
produce the highest-quality imagery in all lighting conditions.
■ Compact size

The camera provides real-time daylight to low-light imaging in the Short ■ All solid-state InGaAs imager
Wave Infrared (SWIR) wavelength spectrum for a range of applications ■ Snapshot exposure
that include industrial process monitoring, enhanced vision and persistent ■ On-board, real-time non-uniformity corrections
surveillance. On-board Automatic Gain Control (AGC) optimizes the ■ Digital 12-bit Camera Link base output
camera’s dynamic response throughout day and night imaging scenarios. (other output options available upon request)
Camera Link® digital output provides for plug-and-play video with 12-bit ■ Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
images for digital image output. ■ C-mount compatible; adapters available

The light weight, compact size and low power draw are ideally suited for ■ Selectable contrast enhancement modes

integration into commercial systems and industrial process monitoring ■ User-defined Region of Interest (ROI)

applications. Optional NIR/SWIR technology is available to extend the windowing mode

sensitivity of the 640CSX below 0.9 μm, offering the advantage of both ■ Digital pixel binning

Near Infrared (NIR) and Short Wave Infrared wavelength response. ■ FCC Part 15 and MIL-STD-461F certified

■ Tested to MIL-STD-81OG for functional shock,

vibration, thermal shock, storage temperature

and humidity
■ Operation from -40° C to 70° C case temperature
