EXPORT CONTROLLED PRODUCT :
FLIR 320x240 60Hz and 30Hz Fast-Video and 640x480 30Hz Fast-Video (>9Hz) uncooled LWIR Thermal Camera Core products are export controlled and require validated export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce prior to export or re-export outside of the United States to certain countries.
Strategic Trade Authorized (STA) Countries are an exception. In circumstances whereby "RHP International" delivers a camera to a customer in the U.S. who intends to export or re-export the FLIR camera outside of the United States, whether or not the camera is integrated into another product, it is the customer’s responsibility to apply for the required export license from the appropriate department of the U.S. government. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited.

The Export Conditions page details information regarding what countries thermal cameras can be exported to.
When attaching this Interface, please use proper personal grounding (or grounding wrist strap) to prevent static damage to the module.
Converts the Boson Camera to Camera Link and provides Sync access
The RHP-BOS-CL-SY-IF Camera Link module is an expansion board for the FLIR Boson camera that can connect USB power and communication, analog video, and digital data via Camera Link connection. The Camera Link module takes CMOS-type digital data from the FLIR Boson camera and converts it to Camera Link.

Master Mode
With External Sync Master mode, a Boson camera sends output pulses that indicate to external equipment when frame data acquisition has begun. This output will be at approximately 60 Hz.

Sync Mode
With External Sync Master mode, a Boson camera sends output pulses that indicate to external equipment when frame data acquisition has begun. This output will be at approximately 60 Hz.

Slave Mode
When the External Sync State is in Slave mode, external equipment sends reference pulses to the Boson camera which begin the acquisition of each video frame by the Boson camera. The input signal rate ideally matches the nominal video acquisition rate of the Boson camera.
Please Note: External Sync is disabled on Boson ≤9Hz Cameras.
The use of external sync on these cameras is not supported because pulses cannot be correlated to a specific output frame because of the way the reduced frame rate video is created. If attempted, the camera will reject commands to begin external sync mode.
Camera Link + Sync (30Hz Only)
It is also possible to enable master/slave sync communication with the RHP-BOS-CL-SY-IF Camera Link module.
The Master/Slave Sync Option allows the Boson to be connected in parallel with a 3.3v buffered port.
The BOS-CL-SY-IF’s microcontroller circuit provides a 3.3V TTL/UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) Control to transmit and receive serial data.

Designed with Implementation in mind
Our development team works hard to create functional and practical products with implementation.
The BOS-CL-SY-IF design allows it to be mounted to the FLIR Boson Tripod Bracket. which provisions for standard 1/4" x 20 tripod mounting.
The footprint of the tripod bracket can easily be adapted for custom mounting use.

Command and Control
The camera uses serial communication at 921600 Baud by creating a virtual COM Port on your computer for USB communications.
The BOS-CL-SY-IF USB Video and Control can be performed through the FLIR Camera Controller Graphical User Interface (GUI) , which enables remote command and control of Boson.

Power Protection
Reverse Polarity Protected
With the intelligent polarity sensing protection, the RHP-BOS-CL-SY-IF can be powered in multiple ways:
- 4-pin JST to USB cable (provided) to allow standard 5VDC (up to 26VDC).
- 7-pin pico blade connector with voltages ranging from 5-26VDC for both the camera and interface.

Interface Assemblies Frequently Asked Questions
The FLIR Boson requires at least one interface board to allow Power and acquire Video from it's high-density connector.
The most popular board in our product list is the Low Profile VPC module. It allows for power input, streaming USB and composite analog video as well as controlling the cameras settings.
A complete list of accessories are available at: https://www.oemcameras.com/boson_accessories.
For video acquisition and control you will need to use the Boson Controller GUI 3.0 available from Teledyne FLIR.
With the RHP Boson interface boards, you may also use the RHP Boson GUI.
If the USB Sensor in the Teledyne FLIR Boson is not triggered (on startup) with the proper voltage for USB-3, it will default to USB-2.
There are three ways to correct this.
- Disconnect the device from the PC and reconnect.
- When powering from a PC, it is best to connect USB-3 after the computer has booted up.
- In some cases, the RHP-BOS-VPC3-IF can be modified to disable the voltage protection.
