2.4 Key features of the A6000 and A8500 Series cameras
Fully GEV/GenICam compliant
The image stream protocol is GigE Vision 2.0 compliant and the camera is controllable by
GenICam.
Improved Linearity to Zero Well-Fill
Typical direct injection ROIC designs exhibit a non-linear response when the signal drops
below 10% of well-fill. FLIR ROICs provides a linear response even at very low signal levels.
This results in an increased linear dynamic range, much better NUC performance at low signal
levels and makes it easier to perform a user calibration of the camera.
14-Bit Digital Image Data
The camera systems are built around high performance 14-bit A/D converters, preserving the
full dynamic range of the FPA.
Windowing Capability
Higher frame rates are available by windowing down at the Focal Plane Array (FPA) level.
Presets
Up to four presets and their associated parameters such as integration time, frame rate, and
window size are available for instant selection with a single command.
Superframing [A626x, A675x, A678x, and A858x only]
Up to four presets can be cycled continuously. This can be used in conjunction with the
Dynamic Range Extension (DRX) algorithm to provide a single movie with increased dynamic
range.
Independently Adjustable Frame Rates
Frame rate is user selectable from 0.0015Hz up to the maximum allowed for the selected
integration time and window size.
External Sync
The cameras provide a SYNC input that can be used to control the camera frame rate using an
external LVCMOS or TTL input (can handle 5.5V Max).
External Trigger [A626x, A675x, A678x, and A858x only]
An external trigger input can be used to signal ResearchIR or FLIR Research Studio to start
recording or to precisely start the image stream relative to an external event.
Multiple Video Outputs
The A-Series Cameras feature multiple independent and simultaneous video:
▫ Digital – Gigabit Ethernet
▫ Digital – CoaXpress (Single CXP-3 link) (A858x only)
▫ Digital – HD-SDI
Standard Video Color Palettes
The cameras support a selection of standard and user-defined color palettes for the standard
video output.
