ICE TM Technology

Sounds complicated.

What does it really mean?

ICE TM Technology in X Factor Cameras

1. Makes the edges POP. It brings out the edges of objects compared to the background of the image.

Sharpens the distinction between objects and backgrounds.

2. Boosts contrast in dull parts of the scene. Even next to raging fire, it isolates the most significant part of the image and applies special image processing to boost contrast in that area.

3. Customizes processing. Processes very hot items and cooler items differently within the same scene.

High image refresh rate.

The 60 Hertz refresh rate on X Factor Thermal Imagers makes the video fluid, not jerky.

X Factor doesn’t just generate amazing images, it shows them off….even in heavy smoke.

Bright (even in heavy smoke )

High contrast

Optimized to take advantage of ICE processing

The specs of this high-performance LCD display are dialed in to produce the most vivid images available.
