In addition to reach such high frame rates, each time a defined section of the detector is being read.
The following frame rates are available:
- 1 Full-frame with(1,024 × 768) IR pixels: 30 Hz
- 2 Sub-frame with (640 × 480) IR pixels: 60 Hz
- 3 Sub-frame with (320 × 240) IR pixels: 120 Hz
- 4 Sub-frame with (1,024 × 96) IR pixels: 240 Hz

Comprehensive Range of Precision Interchangeable Lenses in addition Enables for a Wide Range of Applications
Due to the comprehensive range of lenses for infrared cameras, in addition a wide range of measurement objects is available, starting with micro thermography to telephoto lens applications therefore for objects in a large distance.
The optics of the VarioCAM® HD series were designed as uncompromising full lenses in addition with an opening number of 1.0, highest transmission and transmission quality as well as low distortion.
Integrated GPS Receiver
Another interesting above all function for maintenance tasks is the integrated GPS module.
This module is able to geographically recognise the measurement location and can automatically locate as well as archive thermal images above all.
It is useful if, for example, a various number of objects located in different places within a big facility in addition have to be measured thermographically at regular intervals.
8 Megapixel Digital Camera
An integrated, in addition automatically focusing digital camera with a resolution of 8 Megapixel, video function and LED video light for similarly image illumination allows detailed as well as high-contrasted visual digital recordings.
Unrestricted Operation of the Infrared Camera therefore in Harsh Industrial Environments
The robust in addition light metal housing (protection degree IP54*) is ergonomically flexible designed according to the users needs.
Similarly provides reliable protection for the high sensitive optronics of the device.
In addition, it guarantees trouble-free operation even in harsh industrial environments and keeps constant the excellent optical and metrological performance parameters of the device over a long service life.
The high-resolution, light intensive colour display of the infrared camera however is integrated in the light metal housing.
In this way a long-term and trouble-free operation of the VarioCAM® HD is guaranteed above all.
The usage of a high-quality LEMO connector technology in addition ensures a high protection degree of the infrared camera even for computer-based network operations.
Software
Fast and Detailed Analysis in addition Using the Integrated IRBIS® 3 Software Package
The efficiency of an infrared camera significantly depends on its in addition data analysis software.
As a standard, the thermography therefore software package IRBIS® 3 is included in each camera delivery.
This software gives a fast, precise and detailed evaluation of obtained thermograms and sequences above all.
With this, however and the copy & paste function in all WINDOWS programmes a good basis is provided for comprehensive development work.
