Zone of Interest FESTIVAL DE CANNES GRAND PRIX 2023

Watch the Film4-backed The Zone of Interest trailer from writer/director Jonathan Glazer. The loose adaptation of Martin Amis’s 2014 novel of the same name stars Christian Friedel as Rudolf Hoss, an Auschwitz commandant, and Sandra Hüller as Hedwig Höss, his wife and accomplice. The film examines the ordinary existence of individuals complicit in unforgivable acts as it watches them strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the concentration camp. Also starring Max Beck, Ralph Herforth, Stephanie Petrowitz, Sascha Maaz, Marie Rosa Tietjen, and Lilli Falk.

Filmed using FLIR Infrared  In my opinion, one of the best music videos ever created in thermal

Thirty Seconds To Mars and Travis Scott perform “Walk On Water” on the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on August 27, 2017, courtesy of MTV. “It took a village to be able to bring this idea to life. A very large village. When you do a show like the MTV Video Music Awards you have an opportunity to explore and experiment, to revisit the past or to push towards the future. We knew we wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before. Playing in total darkness, capturing our performance via thermal signal and doing it live was complex, challenging and seemingly impossible but with the help of a very patient MTV and an enthusiastic team of creative dreamers we accomplished our goal. Working with Vatche and the incredible team at FLIR has been inspiring and an absolute pleasure.” – Jared Leto

Two specific systems for TV, Film and the Natural World

Teledyne FLIR Research Grade sensor for HD and long range video.

RS6780sc - £895.00+vat per day

The FLIR RS6780 offers advanced detector, triggering, and synchronization capabilities in an environmentally protected package, making it easy to configure and integrate for successful data acquisition in the most demanding R&D applications. With a three-position motorized filter wheel and continuous metric zoom (CZ) lens, the RS6780 records sharply focused, high-quality thermal images in long-range and tracking applications. The standard 50-250 mm CZ lens can be factory-calibrated for temperature and radiance measurements, allowing researchers to use the radiometric camera system without sacrificing the flexibility of the optics platform.

System mounting and setup

Teledyne FLIR Research Grade sensor for HD and long range video.

All cameras come with standard tripod mounting (2 x ¼ in. -20, 1 x 3/8 in) on the underside, which allows you to fix your existing equipment without needing unique or custom plates.

All systems use the same power setup, 24 VDC (< 50 W steady state), and we can provide custom cables for use with mains or portable power solutions (V-Mount)

The RS platform comes in weatherproof housing, and we also have housing for the X and A series cameras if required.

X and A Series cameras have manually focusable optics but can be motorised with various industry-standard focus wheel systems.

Integration into larger systems is possible via multifunction outputs on all included cameras—SDI, Sync, Trigger, HDMI, Record Start—allowing for remote operation for gimbal, dolly or jib work.

Some units are also capable of outputting an interlaced SDI feed, allowing for use in live/broadcast environments.

The software can be provided on a 30-day trial or purchased. Full training can be supplied for both pre- and post-production.

Infrared cameras allow you to make non-contact measurements of an object’s temperature for data acquisition, analysis, and reporting. They have become indispensable tools for all kinds of research and development projects, and there are many types of cameras with specific features suited to science and research applications.

To help you choose a thermal imaging (Infrared) camera that meets all your requirements, FLIR has compiled a list of the seven things you need to know before buying. This list will help you narrow down your options and point you in the right direction for your ultimate camera selection.

Point #1: What temperatures are you expecting to measure?

Typically, the goal of using an Infrared camera is to measure temperature changes on your object of interest. Two things you should consider when measuring temperature are the temperature range of your object and the temperature resolution you wish to achieve. Answering these two questions will help you determine which types
of infrared cameras and detectors are best suited for your application.
