Adimec has released its TMX6-DHD series of COTS cameras, a rugged and versatile line of full HD-resolution cameras capable of up to 60fps performance. The cameras are aimed at demanding airborne and land defence systems requirements.
The line of cameras builds on Adimec’s expertise in defence applications as well as its True Accurate Imaging technology for excellent image quality. They are optimised for use in gimbals and situational awareness systems that require optimal detection, recognition and identification capabilities.
The TMX6-DHD series, available in 30fps and 60fps versions, feature the company's image enhancement module that eliminates the effects of a hazy atmosphere due to fog, sunlight or shade scattering. This maximises the detection and recognition range when operated in long focal range applications and extends the operational range of the cameras from dawn until dusk. In addition, its compact, remote sensor head is designed for integration in airborne payloads and other sensor system architectures, and incorporates an automatic shutter and gain control capability.
Other key characteristics of the cameras include a rugged design for harsh outdoor conditions; operating capabilities in a wide range of temperatures (-40°C to +71°C); and low power consumption.
The TMX6-DHD cameras are available in 30 and 60fps versions, both with up to full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080) or XSGA (1,600 x 1,200). They are based on a 2/3-inch interline CCD image sensor and have available Camera Link base or HD-SDI interfaces (others on request). The cameras have a dynamic range of 64dB, consume 4W of power and weigh 300g. They are available in monochrome or colour versions, which utilise Adimec colour processing technology for superb quality and clarity in real-time-changing outdoor conditions.
As with all Adimec cameras, the TMX6-DHD series can be customised to meet specific system requirements, even for small volume programmes.
