Introduction to Palette

The color palette can be used to change the pseudo color display of infrared images on the display screen. Some palettes are more suitable for specific applications and can be set as needed.

The palette is divided into six colors: white hot, black hot, fire hot, rainbow, iron red and cold color.

These palettes work best under conditions with high thermal contrast, allowing additional color contrast between high and low temperatures.

Choose the right color palette to display the details of the target object. For colors of rainbow, iron red and cold colors, the coloration outweighs the display colors, which are very suitable for high thermal contrast, and are used to imitate the color contrast between high temperature and low temperature. However,

white heat and black heat provide uniform linear color. The following pictures are taken from the same object, but with different palettes selected:

White hot

Black hot

Fire hot

Rainbow

Iron red

Cold color
