Z3 Technology Unveils the CIB-ATI640
Z3 Technology, LLC, recognized for its innovative embedded solutions catering to the defense and aerospace sectors, has launched the CIB-ATI640 Camera Interface Board, designed specifically for the advanced LYNRED ATI640 thermal imaging module. This announcement, made on March 11, 2026, marks a significant step in enhancing the integration capabilities between thermal imaging technologies and embedded systems used in tactical operations.
The CIB-ATI640 is engineered to attach directly to the back of the LYNRED ATI640 camera, ensuring precise mechanical alignment and functionality. One of the standout features of this interface board is its support for both LVDS digital video and MIPI CSI-2 outputs, allowing for seamless connectivity with Z3's Dual Camera Encoders or Single Camera Encoders. These encoders are built to maximize efficiency with a focus on low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) profile while incorporating AI capabilities into their design. Such versatility positions developers to quickly deploy mission-ready systems crucial for surveillance and unmanned operations.
Aaron Caldwell, the CEO of Z3 Technology, expressed enthusiasm about this development, stating, “The introduction of the CIB-ATI640 provides a streamlined solution for users of the LYNRED ATI640. It enhances their ability to process, analyze, record, and stream thermal video data using our Mission Ready encoding products.” This signifies a leap forward in operational ease, particularly for unmanned systems where power consumption is a pivotal concern.
With the CIB-ATI640, developers encounter minimal power hurdles, as it allows remote operations control of the LYNRED ATI640 while managing PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) functions through a single streamlined connection. This efficient integration minimizes power requirements, an essential factor for extending the operational longevity of unmanned systems. Eric Mallet, Director of the Core Business Unit at LYNRED, noted, “The CIB-ATI640 demonstrates how the ATI640 module is structured for seamless integration into sophisticated embedded ecosystems. Merging the high-performance attributes of the ATI640's shutterless thermal imaging with Z3's offerings enables rapid deployment of compact thermal imaging solutions suited for harsh and unmanned operational settings.”
