4. General Overview

4.1. Product Overview

The TITANIUM camera is especially designed for the most demanding users of
infrared technology, carrying out thermal and radiometric measurements with
the greatest sensitivity, precision and speed. The detector with the format
320x256 or 640x512 offers the greatest sensitivity, while keeping an
extraordinary dynamic range as well as a perfect linearity. The image
frequency is programmable and the sub-windowing modes are simple and
flexible. The integration time is adjustable by increments of 1µs. External
triggering allows the synchronization of the image with the most fleeting of
events.
