Prism™ ISP–Powered Dual Camera Module Delivers Enhanced Performance and Faster Integration for OEMs

Teledyne FLIR OEM, a part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), today announced the launch of the Lepton^® XDS, a compact dual‑thermal‑and‑visible camera module bringing Teledyne FLIR's patented MSX^® (Multi‑Spectral Dynamic Imaging) technology to a new class of space‑ and power‑constrained Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) products. Designed for rapid integration, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) -free Lepton XDS reduces development risk and accelerates time‑to‑market for embedded, mobile, and industrial applications.

Teledyne FLIR OEM Lepton XDS dual visible and thermal camera module

The Lepton XDS pairs a 160 × 120 radiometric Lepton 3.5 micro‑thermal camera with a five‑megapixel (MP) visible sensor, featuring MSX that enhances thermal imagery in real time by embossing visible‑image edges directly onto the thermal scene. This patented software delivers sharper detail, improved context, and a level of actionable thermal intelligence typically associated with more-expensive, higher-resolution camera systems. It is ideal for fire detection and prevention, EV battery monitoring, robotics navigation, unmanned platforms, smart infrastructure, and health and safety systems.

"MSX technology has long been a defining advantage of Teledyne FLIR, and with Lepton XDS, we are making that capability accessible in a compact, OEM‑ready module," said Mike Walters, vice president of product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. "By combining a visible camera, a proven micro‑thermal sensor, onboard Prism ISP processing, and direct access to radiometric overlays — including spot meters and regions of interest — we're accelerating innovation and enabling OEMs to deliver clearer thermal imagery for faster user interpretation."

Prism ISP: Advanced Imaging Beyond MSX

The integrated FLIR Prism ISP software ensures real‑time image enhancement while providing a comprehensive out‑of‑the‑box suite of advanced image‑processing features, including thermal‑visible fusion, advanced image processing, and an industry-first radiometric JPEG (RJPEG) output. Built‑in measurement and visualization tools include regions of interest (ROI), spot temperature measurements, isotherms, and customizable color palettes, and it is seamlessly compatible with the Teledyne FLIR OEM software ecosystem for analysis, post‑processing, and reporting.

Designed for Scalable OEM Deployment

The Lepton XDS is a size, weight, and power (SWaP)‑optimized module, and an industry‑standard USB output makes it well-suited for battery‑powered and always‑on systems. It is also ITAR‑free and classified under ECCN 6A003.b.4.b, enabling broadly available for commercial applications worldwide.

As the global leader in thermal‑camera manufacturing, Teledyne FLIR OEM's global technical services organization and proven high‑volume manufacturing systems have delivered more than four million Leptons supporting scalable production while minimizing supply‑chain risk.
