Overview

Overview

The CRYO-640-900Z is an integrated cooled MWIR zoom module: a 640×512 / 15 μm MCT focal plane with an integrated Stirling cooler sits behind 45–900 mm F/4.0 continuous-zoom optics covering 12.2° × 9.8° → 0.61° × 0.49°. Cooling buys what no uncooled core can: NETD ≤20 mK and full-frame video over CameraLink Base (100 Hz). The module carries the field-proven function set — auto and manual focus with per-step focus memory, movable crosshair with position memory, white/black hot polarity, 8 palettes, ×2/×4 e-zoom, defocus and background NUC, image enhancement and power-on / periodic BIT — controlled over RS-422 (38400 bps) from a 28 VDC platform rail. Operating range -40℃ ~ +60℃.

Key Features

Key Features

Cooled MCT Sensitivity
