FLIR sees breakthrough in multispectral infrared imaging

By blending thermal and visible-light imagery, FLIR MIX gives researchers and engineers a powerful new way to analyse, interpret, and share complex thermal environments with greater accuracy.

Until now, researchers have had to choose between thermal and visible imaging: one reveals heat signatures while the other provides structural detail.

Recording both and trying to align them manually—or harder still, synchronizing them temporally—can be inconsistent and time

FLIR MIX captures and synchronizes high-speed thermal and visible imagery at up to 1,004 frames per second.

The camera and software work together to deliver one dataset with spatial and temporal alignment—no more missed details or second guessing, just a complete picture of fast-moving events.

FLIR MIX Starter Kits are purpose-built solutions designed to synchronize high-speed thermal and visible imagery with precision, delivering the insights researchers need to push the

boundaries of discovery.

● FLIR MIX X-Series Starter Kit – Optimized for high-speed research applications,

including airbag testing, materials analysis, and ballistics, this kit pairs FLIR X69xx

thermal cameras with a high-speed visible camera, precision optics, custom mounting

hardware, and seamless connectivity—all powered by FLIR Research Studio for intuitive

data analysis.

● FLIR MIX A-Series Starter Kit – Built for applications such as electronics design,

renewable energy, and battery testing, this kit is designed to integrate with FLIR A67xx

thermal cameras, offering a versatile visible imaging setup, custom mounting, and robust

networking solutions to ensure precision data capture.

● FLIR MIX Toolkit – For researchers who want to merge thermal and visible footage in

post-processing, the FLIR MIX Toolkit is available as an add-on license to an existing

Research Studio Professional Edition license. It removes the complexity of traditional

post-processing by synchronizing every thermal and visible frame in real-time, delivering

one complete dataset for faster, clearer insights. Whether tracking material stress,

analysing fluid dynamics, or capturing high-speed impacts, researchers can focus on

discovery instead of fixing misaligned data. What you see is what you measure, exactly

when it happens.

"FLIR MIX simplifies thermal analysis by combining quality thermal and visible imagery in real-

time in one easy-to-use hardware and software package," said Matthew Hasty, Senior Global

Product Manager at FLIR. "The solution empowers researchers to achieve precise spatial

alignment with radiometric data for every pixel, providing detailed temperature insights across

the entire image, making analysis more straightforward while shortening the time to discovery."

FLIR MIX is available now.
