Enter the realm of thermal perception with SMA-RTY’s intelligent thermal cameras. Detect temperature variations with precision and accuracy, revealing hidden insights not visible to the naked eye.
Our thermal camera empower industries with critical data for predictive maintenance, security, …


Kalix is the first uncooled smart thermal camera without a mechanical shutter, requiring no calibration before use. Kalix features a matrix of microbolometers combined with a low-power computing core integrating various image processing and correction algorithms.
Based on this innovative approach, Kalix delivers an image natively on any OS, without the need to install any program for calibration or visualization. Kalix thus offers a completely “plug and play” approach, without the tedious process of memorizing reference images.
The Kalix camera can be connected to a raspberry, an NVidia Jetson card or a computer running Linux, Windows or MacOS via the MIPI or USB3 protocol.

Sensor Type 640×480 Microbolometer
Pixel Pitch 12µm
Camera type Shutterless and Uncooled
Focal Length 9 to 100 mm
Sharp Contrasts NETD < 40mK
Bad Pixel Correction On-board and precalibrated
Fixed Pattern Noise On-board Dynamic Non Uniformity Correction
Type of Video output 2 lane MIPI/CSI2 or USB 3.1 gen1 Type C
Resolution 14 bits raw pixel and Flicker-free image

Our innovative Kalix camera delivers high-quality imaging in the LWIR spectrum in a shutterless fashion. It dynamically adapts to TFPA (Focal Plane Array) temperature changes, maintaining image clarity without the need for periodic calibration. This breakthrough ensures seamless and reliable performance in varying thermal environments.

We've collaboratively developed a custom vision system that delivers high-quality imaging across both RGB and LWIR spectrums. This dual-spectrum capability enhances the system's performance in diverse environments, providing superior imaging and analytical accuracy :


BASEN : Embedded board for AI

Introducing BASEN, your gateway to advanced AI processing! This GPU-compatible support card empowers seamless AI integration, boasting a multitude of sensor interfaces. Revolutionize your system’s capabilities with BASEN’s versatile platform, designed to harness AI potential while effortlessly integrating diverse sensor interfaces.


BASEN is an original system for integrating AI algorithms. A jetson-like module makes up the computing core, and it is equipped with numerous interfaces dedicated to embedded systems. BASEN includes its own power regulation system, and can connect up to 5 vision systems via the MIPI protocol, 2 separate Ethernet networks and, of course, several interfaces such as HDMI, USB2, USB3…



Given the rapid evolution of hardware architectures for image processing and AI, it was decided to adopt a modular approach to selecting the BASEN system’s computing core. As a result, BASEN can support a variety of NVIDIA System-on-Modules” (SoMs) in SO-DIMM format. The board is currently based on a XavierNX SoM, but an upgrade to a future-generation core is possible (Table below).
