FLIR T440 handheld industrial camera with MSX technology

The FLIR T440 industrial handheld camera features Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) technology that allows for faster and more detailed electrical, mechanical and building inspections.

Key details apparent to the naked eye such as numbers, labels, signage and structural features can get lost in a regular thermal image, often requiring a separate digital photo to reference the location of the temperature issue that has been found. A regular thermal image only displays heat signatures, which can cause details to get lost if they present a similar temperature. To overcome this, MSX technology uses an internal digital camera to enhance the thermal image. The high-contrast skeletonised visual image allows for key aspects of the visible spectrum to be overlaid on top of the thermal output, while still keeping the important thermal information prominent.

The MSX mode combines both visual and thermal spectrums, which instantaneously generates a definitive, all-in-one thermal picture that easily orients users to the location of a problem as soon as it is discovered on-screen or in a report. MSX technology extracts high-contrast details from the images taken by an onboard visible light camera, and etches or superimposes them onto the thermal images that the camera is taking in real time.
