The IR-1000 real-time (30fps) camera offers enhanced sensitivity across the entire visible and near IR spectrum, with a 5X increase in sensitivity at 900nm. Ideal for visible, IR-DIC and bright fluorescence modes of operation, the IR-1000 utilizes a 1/2″ sensor and is c-mount adaptable. A ten-step grey scale test signal allows the user to quickly and correctly set the contrast and brightness on a monitor. Although this camera is widely used in a live mode connected directly to a monitor, an optional computer interface is available.

The IR-1000 series camera offers two important features: Automatic Contrast and Real-Time Edge Enhancement.

When a scene changes, the Auto Contrast electronics automatically and instantaneously readjust to achieve optimum contrast.

The real-time Edge Enhance function sharpens the edges and delivers a clearer picture by resolving fine details in the image.

Manual control of gain and black is also provided to achieve a specific grey-scale contrast desired by the operator.
