2.2 System Overview

The A6600 infrared camera system has been developed by FLIR Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS)

to meet the needs of the Automation user. The camera makes use of FLIR’s advanced ISC0403 4-

channel readout integrated circuit (ROIC), mated to an Indium Antimonide (InSb) detector to cover the

midwave infrared band. The A6600 camera utilizes a large format, 640 x 512 array with 15μm pixel

pitch.

The A6600 is a stand-alone imaging camera that interfaces to host PC using Gigabit Ethernet. An

SDK is available, which makes it possible for the system designer to write their own camera controller

and acquire image data with their own custom application.

2 – Introduction

A6600/A6650 User’s Manual 7

2.3 Key features of the A6600/A6650 cameras

Fully GEV/GenICam compliant

The image stream protocol is GigE Vision 2.0 compliant and the camera is fully controllable

by GenICam.

Improved Linearity to Zero Well-Fill

Typical direct injection ROIC designs exhibit a non-linear response when the signal drops

below 10% of well-fill. The ISC0403 ROIC provides a linear response even at very low signal

levels. This results in an increased linear dynamic range, much better NUC performance at

low signal levels and makes it easier to perform a user calibration of the camera.

14-Bit Digital Image Data

The A6600 camera system is built around high performance 14-bit A/D converters, preserving

the full dynamic range of the FPA.

Windowing Capability

Higher frame rates are available by windowing down at the Focal Plane Array (FPA) level.

The A6600 has three available window sizes with a max frame rate of 480Hz. The A6650 has

flexible window sizes with frame rates up to 4kHz.

Presets

Up to four presets and their associated parameters such as integration time, frame rate, and

window size, are available for instant selection with a single command.

Superframing [A6650 only]

Up to four presets can be cycled continuously. This can be used in conjunction with the

Dynamic Range Extension (DRX) algorithm to provide a single movie with increased dynamic

range.

Independently Adjustable Frame Rates

Frame rate is user selectable from 0.0015 Hz up to the maximum allowed for the selected

window size.

External Sync

The A6600 camera provides a SYNC input that can be used to control the camera frame rate

using an external LVCMOS input (can handle 5.5V Max).

External Trigger [A6650 only]

An external trigger input can be used to signal ResearchIR to start recording or to precisely

start the image stream relative to an external event.

Multiple Video Outputs

The A6600 camera features multiple independent and simultaneous video:

▫Digital – Gigabit Ethernet

▫Analog – Composite video (NTSC or PAL)

Analog Video Color Palettes

The A6600 camera supports a selection of standard and user-defined color palettes for the

analog video output.

2 – Introduction

A6600/A6650 User’s Manual 8

Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE)

DDE is an analog video AGC mode that provides a significant improvement to scene detail

and contrast.

On-Camera NUCs with Auto Update

NUCs can be stored in camera memory and can be applied independently to the digital and

analog video outputs. The camera can be configured to automatically update the NUC using

the internal flag based on a change of an internal temperature sensor and/or a timer.

Standard Lens Interface

The A6600 camera uses the same bayonet-mount as other SCx000 series cameras. However,

even though the mount is the same, due to differences in the opto-mechanical layout, lenses

for the SC6000/4000 are not an optimal solution for the A6600. The SC6000 lenses will

provide fairly good imagery but some vignetting in the corners may be visible. For best

performance the user should use lenses designed for the A6600. Lenses for the SC8000 will

not work on the A6600.

3 – Warnings and Cautions

A6600/A6650 User’s Manual 9

3 Warnings and Cautions

For best results and user safety, the following warnings and precautions should be followed when

handling and operating the camera.

Warnings and Cautions:

Do not open the camera body for any reason. Disassembly of the camera (including

removal of the cover) can cause permanent damage and will void the warranty.

Great care should be exercised with your camera optics. Refer to Chapter 7 for lens

cleaning.

Operating the camera outside of the specified input voltage range or the specified

operating temperature range can cause permanent damage.

The camera is not completely sealed. Avoid exposure to dust and moisture and replace

the lens cap when not in use.

Do not image extremely high intensity radiation sources, such as the sun, lasers, arc

welders, etc.

The camera is a precision optical instrument and should not be exposed to excessive

shock and/or vibration. Refer to the Chapter 6 for detailed environmental requirements.

The camera contains static-sensitive electronics and should be handled appropriately.
