Crius Series
Crius HR thermal core
High resolution thermal core: Crius series enables the enhancement of electro optical-systems performances: major benefit is DRI (Detection Recognition Identification), a key factor for long range observation platforms in Search and Rescue or surveillance of sensitive areas for plants, border.
High-resolution - 12 µm for better DRI ranges
Small, light and low power consumption
Frame rate up to 60 FPS
Shuttered version (1280 x 1024 - Crius S 1280)
Description
The Crius series consists of affordable SWaP optimized thermal imaging cores. These cores are available in both shuttered option (specifically for 1280 x 1024-pixel resolution) and shutterless option (for 640 x 480 or 1280 x 1024-pixel resolutions). With their remarkable compactness and exceptional resolution capabilities, Crius series significantly enhances the performance of electro-optical systems in long-range observation and surveillance.
NEW: The new Crius XP (Extreme Performance) series includes XP 640, XP 1280, and XP S 1280 (shuttered) -- delivers unmatched imaging performance. Featuring contour enhancement for sharper DRI, contrast-based autofocus management, and rapid startup under 0.7 s, these thermal cores excel in the toughest environments. With enhanced thermal stability and flexible interfaces for seamless system integration, the Crius XP Series sets a new standard for defense and high-demand operations.
