The FLIR X8500sc is a highly sensitive, high-speed, high definition MWIR camera designed for scientists, researchers, and engineers. It has all the features needed for research and science: from on-camera RAM/SSD recording to a four-position motorized filter wheel. Plus, by combining HD resolution with high-speed frame rates, the X8500sc allows researchers to fully image the scene and stop motion on high-speed events – whether they’re in the lab or on the test range.
High-Speed HD Recording
The X8500sc can record 180 frames per second at a full 1280 x 1024 pixel resolution, for true HD high-speed thermal imaging. Windowing allows for even faster frame rates, up to 29,134 Hz. Integration times down to 270 ns at full frame allow for stop-motion action on fast moving and ensure accurate measurements. The X8500sc records up to 36 seconds to on-camera RAM with zero dropped frames. Playback from RAM or save to the removable FLIR DVIR solid-state drive in just 90 seconds, and be ready to begin a new recording.
Advanced Spectral Filtering Options
The FLIR X8500sc incorporates an easy access, four-position motorized filter wheel that permits filter exchange in any environment. The camera automatically determines filter ID and corresponding calibrations. Add custom cold filters for more tailored spectral filtering requirements.
Streaming, Synchronizing, and Triggering
The X8500sc streams high-speed 14-bit data simultaneously over Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and CoaXpress for live viewing, analysis, or recording. Trigger options such as the external BNC connector input make the X8500sc ideal for high-speed, high sensitivity applications. Sync In/Out allows for precisely coordinated image capture of each frame of data.
Software
The X8500sc camera works seamlessly with FLIR Research Studio Software, enabling intuitive viewing and recording, and advanced processing of the thermal data. The GigE Vision®/GenICam compliant Ethernet allows you to plug and play with FLIR Research Studio Software or third-party software programs, such as Mathworks® MATLAB. An optional Software Developers Kit (SDK) is available, or use industry-standard GigE Vision toolkits.
