Boson+, available in two resolutions, multiple lens options, and with radiometry on select lenses, can also be specified with a factory-integrated continuous zoom lens to streamline development, and maximize performance. With customer-selectable USB, CMOS, or MIPI video interfaces, it is easier than ever to integrate Boson+ into a wide range of embedded processors from Qualcomm®, NVIDIA®, Ambarella, and more. The user-friendly SDK, updated GUI, and comprehensive product documentation further simplify OEM integration for unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), wearables, security applications, handhelds, and thermal sights.
