The optional 3x zoom afocal lens attachment provides engineers and scientists the flexibility to change the focal range from the standard 50 mm \u2013 250 mm to up to 150 mm \u2013 750mm, designed to get the most pixels on target and address unique application and testing requirements in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe RS6780 enables precision long-range measurement and tracking applications by combining a full feature, radiometric infrared camera sealed within an IP65-rated enclosure to protect it from the elements,\u201d said Desmond Lamont, Global Business Development Manager, Teledyne FLIR. \u201cThis small-format camera is perfect for open-air testing, thanks to its ability to detect minute temperature differences at long distances, multiple connectivity and software options for easy integration, and a metric zoom lens that optimises pixel density on target while enabling advanced radiometric measurements, such as radiant intensity. The system also weighs 37 lbs. (16.7 kg) or less for easy deployment and mobility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One platform, multiple applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The advanced lens system provides instantaneous, frame-by-frame focal position information to enable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>factory or custom calibrations for thermography and radiometry applications, including supporting time-space position information (TSPI) data collection. It can be deployed as a stand-alone camera or one that is integrated into a larger testing system through the FLIR Science Camera SDK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the flexibility offered through a variety of connection and video inputs and outputs on the camera, including IRIG , SDI digital, and sync out\/in, users can enjoy higher speed and quality video feeds for supporting modern tracking and video systems. The camera also features tri-level sync, providing operators the flexibility to sync the frame capture of the RS6780 to other types of video output, such as visible or ultraviolet, where the other cameras do not have a sync out\/in option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional features include a lock-in capability ideal for non-destructive testing applications and trigger in. Along with Gigabit Ethernet compatibility, the CoaXPress high-speed bus feature supports more ruggedized and lower-cost cable runs compared to fiber optic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users can stream thermal data directly to a computer running Windows, MacOS, or Linux, and for postprocessing and analysis, the RS6780 is compatible with the FLIR Research Studio software application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also provides access to low-level detector settings and RAW data. This enables users to perform high-quality, custom radiometric measurements across approximately 327,000 data points per frame, to generate defensible data as part of research and development projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teledyne FLIR announces the release of the new FLIR RS6780 long-range radiometric infrared camera system, designed for range tracking, target signature, outdoor testing, and science applications in all conditions.\u00a0 Featuring continuous zoom, the camera includes an integrated motorised three-position filter wheel and optional factory calibrations to support thermography applications up to 3000\u00b0C.
