Overview

Overview

METRA-1280-19UT pairs a 1280×1024 high-resolution VOx detector with a fixed 19 mm F1.0 lens for radiometric LWIR integration. Its second-generation Asic-ISP processor delivers detailed images at 50 Hz, or 30 Hz during thermometry. The lens and flange weigh 39 g ±1 g; the core measures ≤29×29 mm across the body and typically draws under 1.3 W over USB. DVP, BT1120, MIPI and USB 3.0 interfaces support UAV search, outdoor integration, handheld devices, security monitoring, wildfire detection and driving-assistance systems.
