Home Products Longwave Infrared Lwir Dione-1280 Series

The Xenics Dione 1280 is a series of LWIR thermal imaging cores optimized to meet today’s increased demand for smaller size, lower weight and lower power (SWaP).
Based on an uncooled 12 μm pitch microbolometer detector with a 1280 x 1024 resolution and NETD of less than 60 mK, it is a cutting edge LWIR core for the safety and security market as well as industrial applications.

There are two lines available within this series, the OEM series and the CAM series!

Xenics Dione 1280 OEM

Xenics Dione 1280 OEM Series

The overall size of the OEM core is 35 x 35 x 23.5 mm3  and weight is 27 grams. It utilizes Xenics image enhancement for advanced image processing while keeping power consumption low.

All Dione 1280 versions have the same SAMTEC ST5 connector and are GenICam compliant.

The ultra-compact Dione 1280 OEM series find application in safety and security systems, as well as industrial thermal imaging systems.

Xenics Dione 1280 CAM

Xenics Dione 1280 CAM Series

The Dione 1280 CAM is both lightweight and small. It utilizes Xenics image enhancement for advanced image processing while keeping power consumption low. 

The Dione 1280 CAM is available with multiple lens configurations, either M34 (Dione 1280 CAM M34) or M45 (Dione 1280 CAM M45) adding flexibility to integration programs.

The ultra-compact Dione 1280 CAM series find application in safety and security systems as well as in industrial thermal imaging systems.
