Proven technology with a wide range<br />
of possibilities<br />
The Photon <strong>640</strong> is designed for easy<br />
integration in airborne, land or maritime<br />
systems. The modules have been<br />
integrated into many of <strong>FLIR</strong> <strong>Systems</strong><br />
successful thermal imaging cameras.<br />
Numerous systems, used for a wide variety<br />
of applications, are out in the field with a<br />
proven track record. Applications include<br />
security and surveillance, unmanned aerial<br />
vehicles, firefighting , maritime, airborne<br />
and numerous other applications.<br />
Software Developers Kit (SDK) to<br />
create applications for camera control<br />
and/or acquiring digital data<br />
The Photon <strong>640</strong> SDK enables customers to<br />
create their own applications for camera<br />
control as well as data acquisition using<br />
one of several interfaces. Languages<br />
supported include VB6, VB.net, C#,<br />
and C++ (MFC). Code examples are<br />
included to help illustrate how some of<br />
the functions can be used. The Photon<br />
<strong>640</strong> SDK also works on Linux. There is<br />
an example in the SDK that works in the<br />
Linux environment. It has everything<br />
needed to write your own Photon <strong>640</strong><br />
control application.<br />
User interface<br />
A customizable graphical user interface<br />
allows integrators to create their own look<br />
and feel to the final system.<br />
Advanced image processing<br />
The Photon <strong>640</strong> contains an advanced<br />
Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) video<br />
processing algorithm. This is a sharpening<br />
filter which aids in making edges and<br />
other image details more distinct in both<br />
night and daytime conditions.<br />

No Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC)<br />
The Photon <strong>640</strong> employs a novel<br />
combination of on-FPA circuitry and<br />
non-uniformity compensation (NUC)<br />
processing to eliminate the thermoelectric<br />
cooler (TEC). <strong>FLIR</strong>’s patented<br />
approach to TEC-less operation enables<br />
the camera to operate over a wide<br />
temperature range while maintaining<br />
excellent dynamic range and image<br />
uniformity. Two significant benefits are<br />
realized from TEC-less operation: reduced<br />
power consumption and an “instanton”<br />
capability. The time to image is less<br />
than 3 seconds - ideal for on-demand<br />
applications.<br />
Ethernet Kit<br />
This 100/1000 baseT Ethernet Interface<br />
module allows for camera control along<br />
with real-time streaming uncompressed<br />
video data from the Photon via standard<br />
ethernet hardware. The adapter auto<br />
senses network capability and runs at<br />
standard 100-megabit or full gigabit<br />
ethernet speed. The module includes the<br />
ethernet interface adapter and camera<br />
cabling. The module allows capture<br />
of both 8-bit data or the full 14-bit<br />
bandwidth digital video. Analog video is<br />
also output via a BNC connector.<br />
Accessory Kit<br />
The accessory kit provides an easy<br />
way to operate the Photon <strong>640</strong><br />
core until a more direct interface to<br />
the 30-pin SAMTEC connector on<br />
the back of the unit is developed<br />
by the end-user. The interface<br />
documentation to enable such<br />
connections is provided. The kit<br />
consists of the following parts:<br />
a power supply, I/O Module, an<br />
interface cable, and an EMI adapter<br />
board and cover that provides a 26-<br />
pin D-sub connector to the camera<br />
for secure connection to the<br />
interface cable.
