<strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong><br />
Affordable, High-Resolution,<br />
LWIR LWIR Camera Core

The Industry Standard Thermal Imaging Camera Core:<br />
For Applications Where Reliability and Performance are Priorities<br />
The <strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong> Camera Core is a compact, all-in-one thermal imager with outstanding<br />
sensitivity and image quality. Its on-focal-plane circuitry, combined with FLIR’s advanced<br />
signal processing electronics, enables the camera to maintain excellent dynamic range<br />
and image uniformity over a wide temperature range.<br />
FLIR based its design of the <strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong> core on the <strong>Photon</strong> 320 core. This proven<br />
design has been embedded in tens of thousands of <strong>Photon</strong> cores in a myriad of<br />
applications including automotive night vision systems, fi refi ghting equipment,<br />
unmanned vehicle payloads, thermal sights, low-power security & surveillance products,<br />
and more. The <strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong> core provides four times as many pixels on target.<br />

<strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong> Accessory Kit<br />
For evaluation purposes, FLIR offers an optional Accessory<br />
Kit enabling customers to operate a <strong>Photon</strong> until they<br />
develop their own interface.<br />
The Kit contains a power supply, breakout box (called an I/O<br />
Module), an interface cable, and an EMI adapter board that<br />
provides a 26-pin D-sub connector to the camera providing<br />
for secure connection to the interface cable. The end-user<br />
only needs to provide a video cable, monitor, and an RS-232<br />
cable if remote control of the <strong>Photon</strong> is desired.<br />
Note: The EMI adapter board is required in order to use the<br />
<strong>Photon</strong> <strong>640</strong> Ethernet Module accessory.<br />
A camera control software program (GUI) is available for<br />
free download at:<br />

333-0017-00 <strong>Photon</strong> Serial/Parallel (SIPO) Module The SIPO converts serial digital data output into a parallel data<br />
format for use with a frame grabber. The SIPO mates directly<br />
to the I/O module’s digital data port, and furnishes a 68-pin<br />
connector.<br />
333-0018-00 <strong>Photon</strong> Camera Interface (I/O) Module A molded “break-out-box” providing electrical interface to the<br />
camera, connectors for power-in (Switchcraft), video-out (BNC),<br />
com port (RS-232, 9-pin D-Sub), and a 15-pin connector for serial<br />
LVDS digital data. The I/O Module is designed to mate with the<br />
SIPO for conversion of serial LVDS to a parallel digital data signal.<br />
