Hi all!
Recently got a great bargain on a thermal hunting scope (HTI HT-A4) and decided to tear it down to see which core it was using.
Turns out it's using an IRay detector (should've guessed from the 384x288/50hz), and not a Seek core, which I believe some of their other products use, though do correct me if I'm wrong. In particular, their RTD3172CR detector.
I was wondering if anyone had any information on this detector (pinout, datasheet, etc...) that wasn't under NDA, or if such a thing would even be possible to obtain.
I don't have much use for the detector in the form of a hunting scope, and would want to try and repurpose it, if possible.
Attached some images of the detector and other boards from the sensor (notably the JL7635S ASIC - which I could find very little info on).
Many thanks,

Google it.

But this appears to be a 2022 site. Because I noticed that their news ends from 2022.
However, I don't seem to find information on this product when I search their other website. But there are other RTD series.

I noticed that this product you mentioned (RTD3172CR) is a 17μm detector. And the products on their new website are all 12μm now.
Presumably, the RTD3172CR is a very old product for this company. That's why you can't find much information about it.
Maybe seek uses this detector because of the low cost.
