Infrared Sensor
The uncooled focal plane array of Nyxus Bird LR is utilising the newest European 17 µm pitch detector technology. Low-noise images with automatic brightness control provide clear and efficient imaging in any viewing situation.
Lens / Optical System
The high-resolution Germanium lens supports infrared imaging with maximum transmission and resolution to suppress detector noise and to yield well focused pictures. The rigid lens system is modified with additional DLC coating for durability and easy maintenance. For viewing a high-resolution (800 x 600) OLED display with adjustable brightness is used, under any ambient light condition it gives a well-balanced image. The daylight channel is operated by a (7 x 40) monocular with a high-transmission multicoating to suppress reflections and glare even under critical observation conditions. For quick tactical evaluations precision engraved reticles are integrated into both spectral channels.With just one finger-tip the actual image can be switched between both thermal and optical channel. Depending on model, lenses with a large aperture will be used.
Laser Rangefinder
A high-precision eyesafe laser range finder is integrated into the Nyxus Bird LR body, it allows measurements up to 5 km distance. Due to the operational wavelength of 1,550 nm it cannot be detected by the image intensifiers of tube-based night vision devices. Up to three consecutive measurements can be stored. The viewinder displays target distance and target coordinates.
Carrying Case
Nyxus Bird LR is supplied with a padded protective soft case and neck straps for carrying comfort. The softcase also accepts a spare battery and offers space for a quick reference guide.
Body
The light-weight body of the infrared camera is made of an enforced Aluminum alloy, its water-tight construction protects the delicate sensor technology and fine mechanics during daily harsh operational conditions of a security authority. It complies with U.S. military standard MIL-STD810F.
