Argus Thermal Imaging Cameras

Better Image Quality

Digital LCD Screen

The Argus camera uses a digital LCD screen and uses 100% digital signal processing for a clearer image. Most competitive thermal imagers use an analog LCD display, so the signal has to be converted from digital to analog to be seen on their analog display.

Any digital to analog conversion will introduce some image degradation. The best way to determine if a camera is using digital processing is to view the on-screen graphics (like the number symbols for the temperature, etc.). If the graphics are crisp and clear, it is usually digitally driven, if they are fuzzy it is analog driven.

The Argus4 uses the digital inputs available on its digital LCD display to maintain the image quality. This process is similar to the HDMI inputs versus analog inputs on a standard LCD TV.

Camera manufacturers using OEM engines are likely to be using analog video on the LCD.

Argus’ LCD Display – How They Do It:

Uses 384 x 288 sensor but matched to the LCD’s 320 x 240 format.
Process similar to setting desktop wallpaper for personal computer.
If image is larger than the screen and you choose to match it to the screen… image is condensed which improves quality.
Refresh rate matched to the LCD.

Digital LCD Display

Argus4 cameras use a high performance digital LCD, with a 320 x 240 format (76,800 pixels).

Argus’ digital LCD is stable over a wide temperature range.
