Цеплавая камера з высокай частатой кадраў для БЛА

Q: Q1: Can the thermal camera output digital video?

A1: The current version provides CVBS analog output. A digital upgrade (HDMI/IP) can be achieved by adding a video converter board.

Q: Q2: Is the latency low enough for real-time control?

A2: Yes, when combined with our H.265 COFDM transmitter, total end-to-end latency can be reduced to 30–80ms , suitable for FPV control or tracking.

Q: Q3: Can it operate in harsh outdoor conditions?

A3: Yes. The module operates from -40°C to +80°C and uses an athermal lens to ensure focus stability under temperature changes.

Q: Q4: Is it compatible with existing drone telemetry or OSD systems?

A4: Yes. The COFDM system supports video + telemetry transmission, enabling overlay and control data on a single RF link.

Understanding the Customer’s Needs

The customer is looking for a кампактны, high-performance thermal imaging module that delivers real-time, low-latency video suitable for UAV or mobile platform applications.
Key points that define their needs include:

High frame rate (60кадраў у секунду) – crucial for smooth real-time imaging and tracking moving objects.
Compact size (25.8mm cube) – perfect for integration on drones or gimbals.
Шырокі ўваход напружання (4.5–18V) – suitable for direct battery operation.
CVBS output (NTSC) – allows plug-and-play connection with COFDM video transmitters.
Excellent environmental tolerance (-40℃ to +80℃) – ideal for outdoor or tactical operations.

This module’s 640×512 дазвол, 12μm pixel pitch, і <50mK thermal sensitivity indicate it is a professional-grade LWIR sensor, capable of detecting human targets up to 1.1км.

Product Recommendation: COFDM Wireless Solution

To fully utilize the capabilities of this thermal camera, we recommend integrating it with our H.265 Ultra-Low-Latency COFDM Transceiver Module.

Input interface: CVBS (Аналагавы ўвод відэа)
Transmission delay: як нізка 30–80ms
Дыяпазон: да 15 км (extendable via Mesh mode)
Выхад: HDMI or AV at the ground control station

Suggested System Configuration

Thermal camera (CVBS output) → COFDM transmitter → Mesh relay UAVs (неабавязкова) → COFDM receiver → HDMI display

This configuration provides a стайня, long-distance, real-time thermal video link, even in partially obstructed (Калі дыяпазон дыяпазону) conditions.
