About
Specially designed for short exposure time applications, C-RED 3 is a very compact high-speed VGA uncooled camera for short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging.
C-RED 3 uses a 640 x 512 InGaAs PIN photodiode detector with 15 micrometre pixel pitch for high resolution, which embeds an electronic shutter with integration pulses shorter than 5 microseconds. The cooling system has been removed and the electronics squeezed to give a low size, weight and power consumption camera. C-RED 3 offers high performance at short integration times, below 10 ms.
A patented adaptive bias allows the camera to be used in any variable temperature environment. Autonomous, ultra compact and also available for OEM, C-RED 3 offers a solution for every application and every budget.
Easy integration: the camera can be easily integrated in a system thanks to the holes on the bottom, the side or the front, and has a C-Mount / CS-Mount / T-Mount optical interface for the objective. The core version, without housing, is even easier to fit into any custom system.
