Imaging system captures 200 IR images a second
Using a continuously rotating filter wheel, synchronised with the FPA detector, the Orion captures a single snap-shot image for each filter position, enabling true multispectral imaging.
Easily adapted to meet a wide range of applications the Vilga video tracker delivers top performance as it provides electronic stablisation of images from external sensors.
Vilga operates under a robust real-time operating system (RTOS) with minimum latency time for critical tasks.
Targets are highlighted and overlaid on screen during tracking.
The user can select a given target amongst several proposed by the tracker.
Selecting and engaging a target in tracking mode is accomplished using a hand grip controller.
Once engaged the video tracker will drive the turret to the target.
The Vilga card offers a Picture-in-Picture mode (PIP) where two sensors can be displayed on a single display.
The user can select which sensor to display as full screen when operating the PIP mode.
The PIP mode feature is particularly useful when using a spotter scope in combination with a TV zoom camera. Request a free brochure from Cedip Infrared Systems ...
