Dione thermal camera

Compact thermal camera: The Dione series consists of SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) optimized cores that exhibit extremely small form factor and low weight. The cores come in four image resolution versions: 320 x 240 (QVGA), 640 x 480 (VGA), 1024 x 768 (XGA) and 1280 x 1024 (SXGA). All versions are based on a state-of-the-art microbolometer detectors with 12 µm pixel pitch and has NETD less than 50 mK (< 40 mK, available upon request).

Description

The Dione products are available with shutter and without shutter options. In the latter case, an advanced shutterless image correction algorithm ensures optimal image quality. Dione products (except OEMs) come with a variety of lens options and optical mounts (optional). The Dione products are ideally suited for integration in security and defence systems, either vehicle-mounted or on aerial platforms. Key features include a low-latency image transfer and short time-to-image after startup.The Dione outputs data via a 16 bit Digital Video interface, MIPI-CSI2, UVC (USB Video Class) or standard USB3 Vision.

The Dione XP/XP S series features SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) optimized cores with an ultra-compact form factor and minimal weight. It integrates advanced imaging capabilities with OEM (shutterless) and CAM versions (shuttered and shutterless). This series is an enhanced iteration of the Dione series, equipped with a 640 x 480 microbolometer sensor at 12μm pixel pitch, offering a NETD of 35 mK (available upon request) or 40 mK. Camera versions are compatible with M24 and M34 lens mounts. The XP series delivers exceptional dynamic range and sharp image contrast. It also offers ultra-fast startup, expanded operating temperature ranges, enhanced IETD correction, and auto-switch functionality

Firmware Options

Powered by cutting-edge XLIE algorithms, the Dione XP offers two firmware options to meet diverse operational needs

•    Performance Mode – Optimized for maximum image quality and processing speed
•    Contour Detection Mode – Specialized for precise edge and shape recognition

Designed for demanding defense and industrial applications, the Dione XP series ensures top-tier performance in rigorous environments.

Lenses Lenses

Our cameras are compatible with a wide variety of lenses.

We do not manufacture our own lenses, but instead offer a variety of third-party lenses that can be purchased directly from us. We guarantee compatibility for any lenses purchased directly from Xenics.

 

Cables & Power Supplies Cables & Power Supplies

Xenics develops flexible and modular cameras resulting in a wide variety of camera interfaces. All these interfaces require unique cabling which we keep in stock. Next to interface cables we also offer separate power supplies.

 

Cases Cases

Xenics ships its infrared cameras all over the world in high-grade custom cases. As our infrared cameras have different sizes, we have several case-types in stock guaranteeing a tight fit. The cases are made of polypropylene which makes them very sturdy. They are dustproof, watertight, stackable and can cope with temperatures between -40 °C and 80 °C. In addition, they are equipped with an automatic air pressure compensation valve allowing us to ship the cameras all over the globe.

Most of our infrared cameras come with a standard hardshell case upon purchasing.
