The NEXUS series represents the third generation of IRmodules imaging technology — a single-board multi-band imaging system combining freely selectable IR and visible channels with an integrated AI processing core on one compact board.
Unlike fixed-configuration dual-band modules, the NEXUS platform accepts any combination of SPECTRA series IR modules and visible modules, enabling system integrators to configure the exact spectral combination their application requires — and deploy custom detection or classification algorithms on-device.
Configuration Options
Select from any SPECTRA series infrared module paired with any SPECTRA visible module:

AI Integration
The NEXUS platform includes an AI accelerator supporting customer-defined algorithm deployment. Typical algorithms include:
- Human and vehicle detection and classification
- Target tracking across IR and visible channels
- Automatic alert generation and region-of-interest cropping
- Custom deep learning model deployment (PyTorch/TensorFlow export)
Key Features
- Freely configurable bands — any SPECTRA IR module + any SPECTRA visible module
- On-device AI — custom algorithm deployment, no edge compute required
- Ethernet + SDI output — network-ready with legacy SDI compatibility
- DC 5V operation — compatible with portable and UAV power systems
- RS422 communication — robust serial control for gimbal and system integration
Typical Applications
Smart EO/IR surveillance systems requiring on-edge AI analytics, border security with automatic alert generation, urban monitoring, and integrated airborne ISR payloads with on-device target identification.
