1.2 Megapixel Equivalent Resolution – Four (4) Times Standard Model! *

Infrared Thermography Camera
InfReC Model R500 Series Debut

With Avio's Unrivaled Super Resolution Thermal Image Technology

  • Comparison with Avio's On-Board, Multi-frame Super Resolution Processing Installed in Standard Avio IR Camera Models.

Infrared Thermography Camera InfReC Model R500 Series

Nippon Avionics Co., Ltd. (Head office: Tokyo, Japan, President Katsuhiko Akitsu, and hereafter called Avio) introduced today the new Model InfReC R500 series High Resolution Infrared Thermography Camera that store 1.2M pixels resolution thermal images to join the highest class of thermography cameras.

These new R500 series Thermography cameras incorporate Avio's latest "Multi-Frame Super Resolution Image Processing" function which improves actual spatial resolution. This unique "on-board camera image processing" provides a four (4) times improvement of the native 0.3M detector pixels count to yield an effective resolution of 1.2M pixels and stores the image. The high resolution images obtained from using this technology have a wide range of application benefits including enhanced images of R&D electronic components, infrastructure maintenance such as the inspection of remote concrete bridge structures and delamination of building outer walls, and electric power facility inspections.

Avio is dedicated to providing solutions for customer's requesting "High Quality Thermography Cameras at Economical Prices" using state-of-the-art technology and developing attractive products, based upon the customer's point of view.

Outstanding Features of New Product

1) 1.2 Megapixels High Resolution Thermal Image

Realize the Highest Resolution in a class apart uncooled cameras by Multi-Frame Super Resolution Processing Technology.

  • Super Resolution Recording Mode <SR Mode>
    1280 x 980 pixels Spatial Resolution: equivalent to 0.58mrad *1
  • Normal Recording Mode
    640 x 480 pixels Spatial Resolution: 0.87mrad

2) High Sensitive, High Measurement Accuracy by Optical Technology and Unique Correction Technology

Appropriate to Evaluation with accuracy and Non-Destructive Inspection for catching slight difference of temperature.

  • Sensitivity (NETD) : 0.03°C at 30°C *2
  • Temperature accuracy : ±1°C *3

3) Shoot Close-up 58um Images with Standard Lens

Very small objects can be measured and recorded with the combination of the R500's 10cm minimum focal distance standard lens and Avio's built-in "Multi-Frame Super Resolution Processing" function without the need of an optional lens.

  • Minimum Spatial Resolution: equivalent to 58μm *1 <in SR Mode>

4) A Wide Viewing Angle Lens increases Working Efficiency

The standard wide viewing angle lens captures large area images when working in limited space environments and improves overall shooting efficiency.

  • Field of view (F.O.V.) : 32°(H) x 24°(V)

5) Designed for Real World Field Operations

  • Rotary LCD monitor is built in for multi-angle shooting.
  • View finder is built in to maintain clear visibility when outdoor.
  • FRZ/REC buttons placed in 2 positions make easy shooting from any angle.
  • Full Auto Function is built in to adjust both temperature scale and focus simultaneously.
  • 5 Megapixels visual camera adds clear visual images to thermal and visual "Split-screen Images" and "Fusion Images".
  • Remote controller is provided as standard accessory for convenience when using a tripod installation.

6) Multiple Recording Modes

  • Super Resolution (SR) Mode for high resolution recording
  • Quick Panorama Mode to shoot continuous wide angle images up to a maximum of 100° horizontal.
  • SD Movie Mode allows taking movies with the R500 camera at a maximum 3Hz frame rate. *4
  • Interval recording of both thermal image and visual image simultaneously
  • Trigger input and alarm output functions are provided for use with external instruments. *4

7) Simultaneously Record Real-Time Thermal and Visual Images to a PC via USB2.0

  • Transfer analyzable thermal image movie data to PC at 15Hz
  • Transfer visual image simultaneously with thermal image to PC
  • NS9500Pro software for analyzing data in real time is provided as standard accessory with R500Pro. *4

8) Options Enhance Use in Various Measuring Environments

  • 2 times wide angle lens and 2x times telephoto lens (available soon)
  • Long operation battery case allows approx. 7.5 hours continuous measurement
  • LCD hood to improve visibility
  • 1: This increased resolution results from detecting characteristic points within all frames acquired by the SR process and removing such effects as those caused by hand vibration.
  • 2: with S/N improvement
  • 3: at environmental temperature 20 to 30°C in range 1
  • 4: R500Pro only
