FLIR Boson™ – the search is over
Boson longwave infrared (LWIR) thermal camera cores set a new standard for size, weight, power, and performance. Imagine your next big idea, and bring it to life with Boson.
FLIR's XIR™ expandable infrared video processing architecture gives Boson advanced image processing, video analytics, peripheral sensor drivers, and several industry-standard communication interfaces that make it easy to integrate while keeping power consumption low.
Its remarkable imaging performance begins with Boson's 12µm pitch vanadium oxide (VOx) uncooled detector, which comes in two resolutions: 640x512 or 320x256. Boson is available with lots of different lenses, so you're sure to find a configuration that's just right for your next project.
Why Boson?
- Thermal Camera Core with Revolutionary Size, Weight & Power (SWaP)
Its remarkably low SWaP (starting at just 7.5 grams and 4.9 cm3) and extreme flexibility lets you trade features for power consumption - Powerful FLIR XIR Video Processing – An Industry-Leading System-on-a-Chip
FLIR's expandable infrared video processing with embedded industry-standard interfaces empowers advanced processing and analytics - Premium Brand at Value Price
Boson new design lets FLIR bring you high resolution cameras at low resolution prices
Imagine what you can do with Boson
Boson takes your next generation of thermal imaging products off the white board and makes them a reality. Its combination of ground-breaking SWaP, state-of-the-art imaging, and wide range of built-in image processing and interface capabilities make Boson the obvious choice.
