At the 2015 SPIE Defense and Security Symposium in Baltimore, Adimec showcased enhancements to its TMX series of rugged full HD COTS cameras. These upgrades focus on delivering reliable full motion video for airborne payloads, long-range observation systems, and other sensor architectures operating in daylight.

The New TMX74-60c/CL

The latest addition to the lineup is the TMX74-60c/CL, a rugged global shutter full HD camera leveraging CMOS technology. It excels in color imaging across low-light and high-light scenarios, offering optimal contrast reproduction. Designed with compatibility in mind, its interface and form factor align with the TMX7-DHD model to facilitate seamless upgrades from CCD to CMOS technology. The Camera Link base interface simplifies integration with widely available frame grabbers.

Other Available Models

For alternative optical formats or remote sensor configurations, Adimec offers cameras equipped with a 2/3” CCD image sensor or a ½” CCD image sensor. These models support cube outline and board-level designs while emphasizing longevity through upgrade pathways (from standard definition to full HD). Additional interfaces include Analog, HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, CoaXPress, and Camera Link.

Key Features

All TMX series cameras deliver either 30 or 60 fps with optional color processing enhancements. Designed for durability, they meet MIL-STD-810G standards to withstand harsh outdoor conditions and operate across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +71°C). Additional advantages include:

  • Video enhancement capabilities
  • NIR (near-infrared) sensitivity
  • Lightweight construction
  • Low power consumption

These rugged cameras boast extremely low failure rates, robust configuration control, and proactive obsolescence mitigation for long-term deployments.

Event Details

Adimec’s presence at Booth #929 featured a live demonstration of the TMX74-60c/CL on April 21st from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. The session, led by Joost van Kuijk (CEO/CMO), explored the benefits of CMOS cameras in global security applications.
