Overview
- RISION announced the Magic Series on August 3, 2026, introducing two USB-C modules called Magic and Magic Pro that plug into iOS, Android and Windows devices and draw power from the host device.
- Both modules weigh about 24 grams and use QuadIR super-resolution plus AI BiSpectrix fusion to increase apparent thermal pixel density and align thermal data with the connected device’s visible camera for clearer context.
- RISION published specs showing the Magic has a native 160×120 sensor with a 320×240 super-resolved output while the Magic Pro raises native resolution to 256×192 and super-resolves to 512×384, with both rated ≤40 mK sensitivity and a 25 Hz refresh rate.
- The RISION View apps add measurement tools, 12 color palettes, real-time waveforms, automated PDF reports, cloud sync and Pro-only expanded monitoring (simultaneous multi-point, line and area tracking) to support both quick home checks and formal inspections.
- RISION positions the Magic as a $139 consumer tool with $119 pre-order pricing and shipping from August 24, 2026, and the Magic Pro as a $299 professional option due in late September, a move that could lower the cost and friction of routine thermal diagnostics for homeowners and tradespeople.
