FLIR X6900sc MWIR Science-Grade

Go thermal with the fastest full resolution MWIR camera.

Extraordinary high-speed infrared 640 x 512 full resolution images at 1,000 fps. 3x faster minimum gating & 2x the horizontal resolution of the nearest competition. Record breaking IR speeds over 29,000 fps.

The FLIR X6900sc is an extraordinarily fast, highly sensitive MWIR (mid wave-length infrared) camera designed for scientists, researchers, and engineers. With advanced triggering, on-camera RAM/SSD recording, and a four-position motorized filter wheel, this camera offers the functionality to stop motion on high-speed events, whether they’re in the lab or on the test range.

The X6900sc captures full 640 x 512 images at 1,000 frames per second, making it the world’s fastest full resolution, commercially-available thermal imaging camera.

Key Features

• 1,000 fps full-frame – 640 x 512
• On-camera RAM recording
• Synchronization with other instruments & events
• Full GenICam support over GigE & CXP interfaces
• Filter wheel with auto filter recognition

High Speed, High Sensitivity
The X6900sc captures full 640 x 512 images at 1,000 frames per second, making it the world’s fastest full resolution, commercially-available thermal camera. Windowing allows for even faster frame rates of up to 29,134 fps, while the output frame rate is adjustable from 0.0015 fps to the maximum for the selected window. The cooled FLIR Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector offers a sensitivity of <20mK for the detection of subtle temperature changes at any frame speed.

On-Camera Recording or Digital Streaming
Save up to 26,000 frames of full resolution data to on-camera RAM with a guarantee of zero dropped frames. Play back from RAM or save to the removable solid state drive (SSD) in just 90 seconds, enabling you to quickly rearm for a new recording. The X6900sc also streams high speed 14-bit data simultaneously over Gigabit Ethernet, Camera Link, and CoaXPress for live viewing, analysis, or recording.

Advanced Filtering Options
The FLIR X6900sc incorporates an easy access, four-position motorized filter wheel that permits filter exchange in any environment. With automatic filter recognition, the camera knows the filter location, spectral band, and associated calibrations, making it easy to select a filter and load a custom calibration and configuration to the camera. Additionally, FLIR supports custom cold filters for more tailored spectral filtering requirements.

Synchronization & Triggering
The camera can trigger using an external BNC input, a software trigger, or an IRIG-B time stamp, offering maximum versatility for synchronizing and triggering to external events or instrumentation. The trigger and sync input can be customized based on polarity and timing to improve compatibility. The camera supports pre-trigger recording using an on camera RAM buffer, allowing you to capture frames leading up to an event.

Software
The X6900sc camera works seamlessly with FLIR ResearchIR Max software, enabling intuitive viewing, recording, and advanced processing of the thermal data. The GigE Vision/GenICam compliant Ethernet allows you to plug and play with ResearchIR or third-party software programs, such as Mathworks. MATLAB. An optional Software Developers Kit (SDK) is available, or use industry-standard GigE Vision toolkits.
