The FLIR Tau 2 640 camera is powered by the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS battery to save weight, and
does not need to be switched on or off.
The micro SD card of the FLIR Tau is inserted at the side of the camera, with the contacts of the
micro SD facing towards the camera lens.
Each time the Intel
®
Falcon™ 8+ UAS is
switched on, a new, subsequently numbered
subfolder (FLIR0000, FLIR0001, FLIR0002...)
is created on the micro SD card. Up to 128
image files are stored in one folder. If more
images during one flight are taken, a new
subfolder will be created to which the
additional images are stored. Before the
camera can be used, the black cap must be
removed from the lens.
The payload is designed to take stills images. Currently video recording is not supported on the
FLIR. Video recording on the Panasonic can be started directly on the camera, but when a video
recording is running, the camera can no longer output any preview video. This means that the
preview monitor /video unit / Tablet of the Intel
®
Cockpit GCS must be switched to show the
FLIR image.
