Pyrocam IV Operator’s Manual Document No. 50337-001 Rev F 2/21/2017 Page 5
CHAPTER 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Introduction
The Pyrocam IV is a high performance, solid-state, pyroelectric camera that features a
large 25mm imager (320 x 320 pixels) and 16-bit A/D converter. This enables reliable
measurement and analysis of both large signals and low-level signals in the wings of the
laser beam. The uniform infrared response and large dynamic range make the camera
suitable for real-time thermal imaging of hot sources. 16-bit digitizing also enables
accurate signal summing and averaging to pull weak signals out of noise. The Pyrocam
employs an IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet interface that is compliant with the GigE Vision
standard. The camera ships with an Ethernet to USB 3.0 adaptor and a 10’ (3m) Ethernet
cable. If a longer or shorter cable is required, Spiricon recommends using a shielded Cat6A
cable.
The Pyrocam ships with BeamGage Standard software. The Pyrocam is also compatible
with National Instruments Vision Image Acquisition Software and any GenICam standard
client (CHAPTER 4).

Spiricon offers the Pyrocam in the following models, all of which include BeamGage
Professional Edition.
