Synchronized field of view
Both channels observe the same scene as focal length changes.
FEATURED INTEGRATED OPTICAL SYSTEM
One motorized zoom lens and a beam-splitting prism feed visible and short-wave infrared sensors at the same time, keeping both channels on one shared scene through the full zoom range.

01 / OPTICAL ARCHITECTURE
A broadband zoom group forms the shared front optical path. The beam splitter then directs the image to dedicated visible and SWIR sensors, reducing duplicated optics while preserving channel-specific detection.
02 / SYSTEM VALUE
Both channels observe the same scene as focal length changes.
Optical correction spans 400-1700 nm across visible and SWIR bands.
Motorized zoom, preset zoom, autofocus and constant-focus operation.
RS-422 control, magnetic position feedback and 12 V operation.
03 / SYNCHRONIZED IMAGING
First-party comparison frames show both channels at short, medium and long focal positions. Captions are presented outside the source image.
04 / FIELD EVIDENCE
The existing field record documents an observation from Penglai toward Laotieshan, Dalian, at approximately 108 km under reported 20 km visibility.
Field range depends on atmosphere, visibility, target properties, sensor configuration and complete system integration; this example is not a guaranteed range for every deployment.
