Pearl Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The Pearl Camera is
a flexible platform to
support a variety of
infrared imaging appli-
cations. The standard
output is NTSC video.
The Pearl Camera prod-
uct is suited for applica-
tions requiring high quality infrared imaging without the
added cost of precision radiometry.
The Pearl Control Software is designed to allow users to
control the Pearl OEM camera or camera core. Users can
adjust video settings, capture images, and use the software
to assist in calibration. Pearl Control software is provided
on a disc in the case and is shipped with the camera.
Pearl OEM Camera
The Pearl OEM Camera is a fully enclosed thermal imag-
ing camera designed to operate with LumaSense
IR detectors with external connectors. The product is also
offered in an optimized midwave configuration for high
temperature and see-through flame applications.
Pearl Camera Core
The Pearl Camera Core includes a three-board electronics
stack with detector mounting assembly, but it does not
have an enclosure. The design is portable among pro-
grammable hardware manufacturers and can be inte-
grated into new or existing designs.
Unpacking and Inspection
When unpacking and inspecting your system compo-
nents, complete the following:

contents were damaged in shipping, immediately file
a claim with the carrier before contacting Luma-
Sense.
2. Open the shipping containers and carefully remove
the instruments and accessories.
3. Check the contents against the enclosed packing list
