Raptor launches VIS-SWIR camera for integration with EO systems
Northern Ireland-based Raptor Photonics has launched a low-power (8W) version of its Owl 1280 visible shortwave infrared (VIS-SWIR) camera with high-definition serial digital interface (HD-SDI) connectivity, for integration with OEM EO systems.
Owl 1280 is an indium-gallium-arsenide based camera combining 1280x1024 resolution and 10μm pitch pixel size.
The camera produces high-sensitivity imaging from 600-1,700 nanometres. It produces uncompressed, progressive scan digital video output to the HD-SDI SMPTE-274M standard. SDI connectivity reduces system complexity, maximises interface bandwidth, and expands the usable operational range.
