Dage IR-2000 Infrared Monochrome Video Camera
The IR-2000 real-time monochrome camera is the next evolution of IR imaging for electrophysiology and other IR applications that require fast response and excellent sensitivity in both the visible and NIR (up to 1100nm).
The IR-2000 features live imaging at industry leading frame rates and up to 4K Ultra HD resolution (includes adjustable frame rates and resolution). Users can operate in auto mode or manual mode to achieve the optimal image for any IR application.
The intuitive IR-Capture software is simple to use and does not require training. Users can save images with the click of a button, access other on-screen tools such as overlays and measurements; and the digital zoom feature provides instant magnification for viewing small details in the live or captured images.
The IR-2000 is available in two models. A stand-alone configuration (camera + digital controller) with an HDMI output for direct connection to an HD (or Ultra HD) display OR a PC-ready configuration (camera head) connects to a user’s computer via USB 3.0. Please see PC performance requirements to determine if your PC is compatible.
