Discover the technology behind the 1280×1024 iTL1208, and see it in action at CIOE 2026 in Shenzhen.

SensorMicro has officially released the promotional video for its iTL1208 uncooled thermal imaging core, offering a closer look at the technologies behind this high-resolution infrared solution.

Featuring a 1280×1024 resolution and an 8μm pixel pitch, the iTL1208 is designed to bring megapixel-class thermal imaging into a compact and low-power package. The newly released video highlights its key advantages in detector technology, image quality, and system size, giving viewers a quick look at what makes the iTL1208 stand out.

8μm ApexCore Detector for High Pixel Density

The iTL1208 is built around SensorMicro’s 8μm ApexCore infrared detector. The smaller pixel pitch allows more pixels to be integrated into the same imaging format, helping achieve higher resolution without simply increasing the overall size of the thermal imaging system.

With a 1280×1024 detector, the iTL1208 provides more than 1.3 million pixels. That is four times the pixel count of a conventional 640×512 thermal core, giving the system more spatial information to work with and allowing finer thermal details to be presented in the image.

For system developers, this high pixel density also creates greater flexibility when designing compact thermal imaging equipment, while helping balance imaging performance and system cost.

1280×1024 Resolution for More Detailed Thermal Images

More pixels can make a meaningful difference when thermal imaging scenes contain small targets, fine structures, or complex temperature patterns.

The iTL1208 combines its 1280×1024 resolution with intelligent image processing algorithms to make better use of the captured thermal information. Compared with 640×512 thermal imaging, the four-times-higher pixel count provides a significant increase in image information, helping users see more detail within the same scene.

The difference is particularly visible in image comparisons, where structures and thermal features that appear less defined in a 640×512 image can be presented with greater clarity at 1280×1024.

Compact Size, Low Weight, and Low Power

High-resolution thermal imaging does not necessarily require a large system. The iTL1208 is designed with a focus on SWaP—Size, Weight, and Power, making it suitable for applications where imaging performance needs to be combined with compact system design.

The core measures only 22.6 × 22.6 mm and weighs as little as 34.5 g, including a 12 mm lens. Its power consumption is below 1 W.

This compact design helps system developers integrate 1280×1024 thermal imaging into applications where space, weight, and power consumption are important considerations.

See the iTL1208 at CIOE 2026

Following the release of its promotional video, SensorMicro will bring the iTL1208 to CIOE 2026 in Shenzhen, where visitors can experience its high-resolution thermal imaging performance in person.

The exhibition will take place from September 9 to 11, 2026, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. SensorMicro will be at Booth 8A49.

Visitors are welcome to stop by and explore the iTL1208, learn more about its 8μm ApexCore detector, and see how 1280×1024 resolution, intelligent image processing, and a compact SWaP design come together in one thermal imaging core.
