Description
Advanced Thermal Imaging with Crius HR Thermal Core
The Crius HR Thermal Core is a high-performance thermal imaging solution engineered by Exosens to significantly enhance the capabilities of electro-optical systems. Optimized for long-range surveillance and Search & Rescue (SAR) operations, it delivers exceptional Detection, Recognition, and Identification (DRI) performance, even in challenging environments.
With a 12 µm pixel pitch, the Crius series offers sharp imaging across both 640 x 480 and 1280 x 1024 resolutions. These thermal cores are compact, lightweight, and designed for low power consumption, making them ideal for integration into portable systems, armored vehicles, UAVs, and other platforms.
Versatile Options and Performance
The Crius HR series provides both shuttered and shutterless configurations. Shuttered cores, such as the Crius S 1280, are perfect for applications requiring precise calibration, while shutterless cores offer rapid deployment and uninterrupted imaging. The standard Crius cores provide excellent thermal sensitivity (NETD < 50 mK), while the Crius XP series (Extreme Performance) delivers unmatched clarity with NETD < 20 mK, contour enhancement, and contrast-based autofocus.
Seamless Integration and Robust Operation
These thermal cores are designed for maximum versatility. They operate reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C and feature flexible interface options including CameraLink, SDI, DF40, and MIPI CSI-2. Crius XP cores also meet MIL-STD-810G vibration standards, ensuring rugged performance under demanding field conditions.
The compact dimensions and low weight of the Crius cores (<130 g) allow easy integration into both portable and vehicle-mounted systems. High frame rates up to 60 Hz provide smooth and accurate thermal imaging for fast-moving scenarios, while rapid startup (<0.7 s) in the XP series ensures readiness for critical missions.
Whether for defense, law enforcement, industrial inspection, or environmental monitoring, the Crius HR Thermal Core series offers a reliable, high-performance solution for precise thermal imaging and enhanced situational awareness.
