Night Vision InfraRed Camera

XenICs Xeva-FPA-1.7

The Xeva-FPA-1.7 is an industrial Infrared camera manufactured by a leader in InGaAs sensors - Xenics from Belgium. It is available in 320 x 256 pixel or 640 x 512 pixel resolution and is sensitive up to 1.7 micron wavelength of light which makes it suitable for a variety of applications including night vision.

The XEVA-FPA-1.7 digital camera combines a thermo-electrically cooled InGaAs detector head and the control and communication electronics in a single compact housing. Available in a variety of versions that vary in resolution, speed and type of output enables systems designers to choose the most suitable configuration for their application. Requiring one single 12V – 5A power supply makes it easy to power and integrate.

The XEVA-FPA-1.7 is available with either USB 2.0 or CameraLink and outputs 14-bit data. The high speed version comes with its own custom frame grabber card but can also be easily interfaced to all standard compatible CameraLink frame grabber cards. It is supplied with a graphical user software interface (X-Control) and SDK for direct access to camera settings. X-Control includes two-point uniformity correction and bad pixel replacement tools.

All XenICs infrared detectors are characterized by high sensitivity, excellent stability and high uniformity. They offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of frame rate, user interface and temperature range. These cameras combine high speed with high sensitivity at low cost.
