This paper presents a method for synchronous conversion of infra -red image data to a Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) bit stream for recording on instrumentation tape recorders. The PCM data recording method provides an improvement over analog FM recording in signal to noise ratio, horizontal resolution, and speed of data formatting. The methodology was applied to the design of a PCM encoder for an AGA model 680 Thermovision camera. The extension of the design to other devices is discussed. Considerations for the display of real-time and reduced speed data display on conventional television monitors are presented.Sponsors
