Thermal Imaging Overview
The Tri-Mode IP/MPX/Analog Thermal camera is a state-of-the-art thermal imaging device
that will provide excellent night visibility and situational awareness without any form of natural or artificial illumination. The sensors do not produce images from visible light like an
ordinary camera or the human eye does. Thermal cameras use energy in the infrared
band to produce images by sensing subtle differences in temperature and generating images based on those differences.
By using a thermal camera, you are viewing heat, not light. If there is a person in the live
view image, you can see there is a person, but identifying who that person is may be impossible regardless of the resolution of your thermal sensor. Similarly, while a higher resolution sensor will detect a person at a greater distance, a low resolution sensor in many
cases will still detect the same motion.
The thermal imaging sensor relies on the fact that all objects, even very cold objects like
ice, emit thermal energy in the portion of the spectrum that the sensor can detect, the long
wave infrared (LWIR). Therefore, unlike a visible-light camera, the thermal imaging sensor
produces images based on directly radiated rather than reflected energy.
Any scene displayed by the sensor contains a range of thermal energy (temperatures),
from the lowest to the highest, that is present in the scene. These temperatures are
grouped by the sensor into a maximum of 256 “shades of gray” based on the thermal image processing settings. Since the T43 Series camera is sensitive enough to distinguish
many more than 256 different temperatures, each “shade of gray” will represent a range of
temperatures.
For example, in a simplistic case, an image comprised of 60% sky (very cold) will devote
60% of the available “shades of gray” to the sky, leaving only 40% for the remainder of the
image. The temperature range assigned to each “shade of gray” is controlled by the
choices in the Camera Settings menu or the MPX on-screen display (OSD).

Tri-Mode IP/MPX/Analog
Overview
The cameras offer three video output modes: standard analog, high definition (MPX), and
IP.
• IP / PoE: Provides high definition video output through Ethernet. If you are not using
PoE, make sure to connect the camera to a power source.
• MPX: Provides high definition video output through a BNC connector. To use MPX
mode, insert the MPX terminator into the camera’s Ethernet cable before you power on
the camera. When the terminator is installed, IP / PoE mode is not available. If the camera is powered up without the terminator installed, IP and analog mode is enabled.
MPX terminator
• Analog: Provides high definition video output through a BNC connector.
NOTE
After the camera is powered on, it may take up to 2 minutes for the camera to fully boot up and show a
picture.

Setup
NOTE
Preset mode settings are highly subjective and vary considerably depending upon scene content and
viewing or recording preferences. Individual settings may be optimized for each your particular environment. For more information, technical details, or background theory regarding these settings, visit
www.flir.com/.
To configure thermal image settings:
1. Under Brightness (also known as ITT Mean, ITT Offset, or ITT Midpoint), select a value from 0 – 100. This setting determines the temperature that is at the middle of the
256 “shades of gray” available to the camera. Higher values allow more detail in hotter
scenes, while lower values allow more detail in lower temperature scenes.
2. Under Sharpness (also known as Digital Data Enhancement), select a sharpness value. Sharpness is used to enhance image details and/or suppress fixed pattern noise.
Higher values increase Sharpness, while lower values soften (blur) the image and filter
fixed pattern noise.
3. Under Gamma (also known as Active Contrast Enhancement), select a Gamma value.
Gamma provides a contrast adjustment dependent on the relative scene temperature.
Gamma values greater than 0 give more contrast to the hotter scene content and decrease contrast for the colder scene content. Gamma values less than 0 do the opposite by decreasing the contrast for hotter scene content and leaving more of the
“shades of gray” to represent the colder scene content.
4. Under EZoom, select the digital zoom factor. Digital zoom factor is continuously variable; 16 steps for 320-pixel cameras and 24 steps for 480-pixel or 640-pixel cameras.
The zoom factor is stored so that at power-up the last saved field of view is maintained.
5. Under Smart Scene, select a Smart Scene Optimization (SSO) value. This value defines the percentage of the scene that will be allotted a linear mapping. With SSO enabled, the difference in gray shades between two objects is more representative of the
difference in temperature, although the optimization in local contrast can be lost.

Setup
6. Under Colorization, select one of the following colorization palettes. The thermal camera image usually contains 256 “shades of gray” representing different temperatures
present in a scene. The colorization palettes provide the ability to add color to the camera image through the use of Look Up Tables (LUT) that map the 256 temperature
groupings to colors.
• Select the White Hot palette to make hot objects appear “white” or brighter than
colder objects.
• Select the Black Hot palette to make hot objects appear “black” or darker than
colder objects.
• Select Ironbow2 palette ranges from blue (coldest) through red, orange, and white
(hottest).
#LX400062; r. 1.0/24298/24299; en-US

6
Setup
• Select the IceFire palette to use the same palette as the White Hot palette except
coldest temperatures are blue and the hottest temperatures are red.
6.1.2 Region of Interest (ROI)
Use the thermal region of interest (ROI) to select only the portion of the scene that the automatic gain control (AGC) will use to optimize the image. The region is automatically adjusted for zoom. You can select a preset ROI or create a custom ROI. The custom ROI
Type provides the ability to setup a rectangular region of any size and move it to any location in the image.
To set up a custom ROI region:
1. Under ROI Type, select Custom.
2. Click and drag a corner of the yellow box to resize the ROI region.
