Are Boson, Tau2, Quark2 rolling shutter cameras or framing cameras?
Boson, Tau2, and Quark2 are more like rolling shutter cameras than framing cameras, but they do not perform exactly the same way that a typical rolling shutter camera performs.
-
Can I convert 8-bit AGC’d data to temperature in manual AGC mode?
FLIR calibrates OEM camera products using the pre-automatic gain corrected (pre-AGC'd) data.
-
Can FLIR supply a thermal sensor without an IR window?
FLIR's microbolometer arrays are fabricated as a "vacuum package assembly", or VPA. The VPA incorporates a silicon window. FLIR does not offer an option to deliver cameras or sensors without a window.
-
Does PathFindIR II come with the same accessories as Tau2 and Quark2?
PathFindIR II accessories are separate and distinct from those of Tau and Quark.
-
How are FLIR's microbolometer arrays packaged? Are they under vacuum?
The microbolometer sensing elements are thermistors that are suspended, as bridge structures, above a readout integrated circuit, or ROIC.
-
How much does the Tau2, Quark2 camera weigh?
Because the weight is dependent on the lens (or no lens), all of the weights are detailed at the Optics tabs for both Tau2 and Quark2 cameras.
-
Can a Tau2 or Quark2 simply be connected to power and a video display?
Yes. Many customers operate Tau2, Quark2, and legacy Photon cameras in a stand-alone fashion. This is typically done using accessory kit items, and/or optional accessories, for connectivity with the camera.
-
Can lens focus be adjusted on Quark2, Tau2, and legacy Photon cameras?
Tau2 324, Tau2 336, and Tau2 640 cameras each use two types of lens mounts: one for wide field of view (WFOV) lenses; another for narrow field of view (NFOV) lenses. All lenses are set to infinity focus using a collimator at the factory. WFOV lenses can be focused using the Tau Focus Tool, part number 421-0037-00.
-
Does video format need to be specified when ordering Quark2 or Tau2?
Does the analog video format (NSTC, PAL) need to be specified when an order is placed for Quark2 or Tau2?
-
Can you use the coax connection for analog image on Tau2 and Quark2?
Yes, the USB port on the Video / Power / Communications (VPC) accessory provides power, and nominally draws 180mA, 500mA at startup.
-
Does slow video have any effect on perceived resolution?
Does slow video have any effect on perceived resolution?
-
Imaging scene hotter than low gain scene range of Tau2 or Quark2
For applications that require imaging scene temperature ranges higher than 550 C, it is necessary to reduce the signal coming into the camera sensor in order to avoid image saturation.
