Astro Software v1.7 - What’s New

PreviousAstro Software v2.0 - What's NewNextAstro Software v1.4 - What’s New

Last updated 9 months ago

|


New: LR1 Thermal Module [Boson 640R]

  • We just started shipping the . This adds a radiometric 640x512 LWIR core to Astro!

    • Spot temperature readout

      • Mix/max temperatures of region

      • Adjustable region size

      • Selectable Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin

    • Media capture - Jpeg, Radiometric Tiff, both, video

    • Zoom - digital up to 8x


New: LR1 and A7R4 Payload Features

  • Digital Zoom:

    • 1.0 to 4.0x digital zoom for live preview and saved images/videos. This can be controlled with the on screen buttons or the right hand rocker on pilot pro.

  • Tap to Focus:

    • A new mode under Auto Focus is exposed: Flexible Spot with size small, medium, or large.

    • This can be enabled/disabled by the tap icon next to the shutter button as well

  • Note: A7R4 tap to focus is much slower than LR1, limited by the camera's autofocus speed


Update: Payload zoom on Pilot Pro right side rocker

  • Zoom function is now mapped to the right hand rocker (below R1 button) on Pilot Pro. This works for:

    • LR1 Payload

    • A7R4 Payload

    • Thermal Module for LR1

    • Wiris Pro Payload


Fixes and Improvements:

  • LR1 Payload - Fixed an overheat condition on bootup

  • LR1 Payload - Fixed soft focus in infinity focus mode

  • A7R4 Payload - Removed incorrect 50mm infinity focus setting

  • AMC - Removed Structure Scan

  • AMC - LR1 and Thermal Module appear as EO/IR toggle when both connected

  • Distance Sensor Module - can now select between ft. and meters

  • Distance Sensor Module - displays +99m when max range is reached

  • Added support for up to 3 cameras on Astro

    • Currently, only video can be recorded on LR1 and one additional camera (ex: LR1 and Thermal) simultaneously. Wiris Pro is treated in the software as one camera
