20.1 Thermal camera application
overview
The thermal camera application enables you to control a
connected thermal camera and display its image on your
multifunction display.
Thermal imaging (also known as infrared) cameras enable you
to see clearly in low-light and no-light conditions. For example,
a thermal camera can help you navigate at night or identify
obstacles in areas of low visibility or even total darkness.
The thermal application enables you to:
• Control the camera:
– Zoom (range).
– Pause the camera image.
• Adjust the camera image:
– Color palette.
– Scene presets.
– Brightness.
– Contrast.
– Color.
– Video polarity (reverse video color).
Displaying the thermal camera application

1. Select a page icon that includes the thermal camera
application.
The thermal camera application is displayed.
Note: If the home screen does NOT include a page icon that
features the thermal camera application you will need to create

20.2 Thermal camera image

The thermal camera provides a video image which is shown
on your display.
The video feed provides:
• Thermal image
• Status icons / system information (e.g. camera direction and
docking mode indicators in the example above).
You should take time to familiarize yourself with the thermal
image. This will help you to make the most of your system:
• Consider every object you view in terms of how it will look
"thermally" as opposed to how it looks to your eye. For
example look for changes caused by the heating effect of the
sun. These are particularly evident right after sunset.
• Experiment with white-hot and black-hot (reverse video)
modes.
• Experiment by looking for hot objects (such as people)
compared to the colder surroundings.
• Experiment with the camera for daytime viewing. The camera
can provide improved daytime viewing in environments where
traditional video camera performance suffers, such as in
shadows or backlit scenes.
