Inertial Stabilization

Inertial Stabilization Module (ISM) is an optional configuration for D48E, D100E, and D300E pan/tilt units. ISM provides a turn-key integrated solution for low-cost inertial Line of Sight (LOS) stabilization of any payload from mobile platforms. For camera applications, inertial stabilization improves images while on the move. The optional ISM allows real-time computer control during stabilization, enabling closed-loop systems for tracking and slew-to-cue.

Geo-Pointing

The built-in Geo-Pointing feature allows any FLIR pan-tilt unit (PTU-5, E46, D48E, D100E, D300E) to be commanded using latitude, longitude, and altitude coordinates (geo-coordinates or GPS coordinates). Once configured, it accepts geo-coordinates over the built-in Ethernet/IP interface and automatically commands the pan-tilt to aim at the corresponding location. 

PTU-SDK

FLIR MCS pan-tilts are designed for high-performance control with low-latency and jitter and high command rates. There are multiple ways to control the units. FLIR MCS pan-tilts support both a simple ASCII command protocol, documented in the E Series Command Reference Manual as well as a binary form of the commands, supported by a portable C language library (PTU-SDK).

Options for Pan-Tilt Control

• Control via the PTU webpage which has arrows to move left, right, up and down. No additional hardware is needed.
• A Pelco-style controller that uses RS-485 communication protocol;
• A gamepad controller, such as a Logitech F310, which works with a Windows GUI
• APEM joystick
• E-Series Gamepad Control Manual
