The iGen

®

advantage is:

• Better image quality with high, 37 line-pair per millimeter, edge-to-edge display resolution
• Better image quality with no image distortion from photocathode or

phosphorescent screen blemishes

• Easier diopter focusing
• Two-times the sensitivity to infrared light, useful in total darkness with the aid of

the infrared emitter

• Intelligent infrared emitter. Microprocessor automatically adjusts infrared intensity

and electronic gain to optimize image to changing ambient light conditions.

• Undistorted infrared emitter – bright clear scene illumination with no dark spots

and no uneven light patterns

• Ambient light amplification capability higher than Generation-1 technology at

default exposure. Light amplification capability superior to Generation-2 with the
use of exposure control.

• Easy-connect video capture capability through composite video output
• Programmability
• Bright-light see-through capability. No bright-spot blooming or halo-effect typical

with conventional night vision.

• More robust. No risk of damage from bright light exposure. No fragile vacuum tubes.
