Ceres T 1280

The Ceres T 1280 series is based upon the Dione 1280 OEM thermal imaging core with 1280×1024 pixels and 12 μm pixel pitch. The camera offers superior on-board thermographic performance (accuracy, stability) in the temperature range up to 400°C.

The Ceres T 1280 camera outputs full frame images at 60 Hz via either a CameraLink or GigE Vision interface.

The compact size, excellent thermographic stability and accuracy, and GenICam compliant interfacing allow for easy integration in demanding industrial thermography applications. The camera comes with four different HFOV (Horizontal Field-Of-View) options: 12, 16, 25 or 48 degrees.
