Heat Sinks
The most important source of heat in the camera is around the sensor.
The EM1 Camera dissipates around 11W max with 4 taps at 31.25MHz (4K pixels version)
The Camera has been designed to dissipates the maximum of the internal heat through its front face :
The packaging of the sensor is larger to increase the surface in contact with the front face and then
improves the dissipation.
In the system, the camera has to be fixed by its front face with the largest contact possible with a
metallic part.
Without any specific cooling system, a simple air flow around the camera will improve roughly the
dissipation.
The EMx Camera series are already delivered with 2 Heat Sinks, but if necessary, additional heat sinks
are available (set of 2) and they can be fixed on any side of the front face :
Set of 2 x Heat Sinks : Part number AT71KFPAVIVA-CAA
One heat sink can decrease the temperature of the front face of about 5°C down.
