Vipitis, They do indeed. I checked that those cores remain available and they are still listed. This is what I was hoping for though. The market is so buoyant for thermal imaging cores at the moment that Infiray are producing various models of core to suit differing needs. They may all use the same microbolometer die and ROIC in various cores, just as ULIS does with its different Thermal FPA’s. The ELF appears to offer easier mounting in a chassis, thanks to its two ‘wings’ and screw holes.
It is interesting to see that the favoured resolution for budget thermal imaging cameras coming out of ASIA is 256x192 pixels. Maybe this is a good balance of production cost Vs image quality. I certainly appreciate the additional image detail compared to my old ‘entry level reference’ of 160x120 pixels
I know some members of the forum desire higher resolutions and maybe those desires can be fulfilled at affordable prices but it may take time. For the moment 256x192 appears a very popular resolution in affordable consumer grade cameras.
Infiray are also making a point of saying they are now producing thermal imaging cores that use an ASIC, rather than FPGA technology. They claim this move to ASIC’s reduces cost and power consumption.
