CMC Electronics Cincinnati has introduced a new high-performance infrared thermal imager, the TVS-8500, for industrial, environmental and aerospace applications
The TVS-8500 integrates CMC Cincinnati's cutting edge defence technology and patented InSb focal plane array architecture to provide a multi-use platform for industrial, environmental and aerospace applications.
The TVS-8500 series provides users with a compact, fully integrated unit with onboard data storage and comprehensive image analysis.
The unit may also be operated remotely.
Five moveable cursors, vertical and horizontal profile lines are presented on the built-in 5 inch liquid crystal display.
Dynamic digital image enhancement and auto temperature ranging allow the users to follow critical temperatures over quickly changing scenes.
Real time recording capability allows 120, 30, 10, 5, 2 or 1 frame per second recording and playback of the thermal image.
