With the introduction of the AstroScope, Electrophysics has introduced the most advanced night vision solution available and proved its dedication to the videography and photography markets giving users the ability to transform dark, moonlight or starlit nights into bright, high-resolution imagery. Orlando, FL (PRWEB) April 18, 2006 -- The demand for higher resolution video has certainly fueled the development of advanced imaging technologies and has resulted in the introduction of reasonably priced high definition (HD) cameras and camcorders based on that technology. Requirements for products that deliver high resolution at night abound, where recognition and identification of humans and objects in low-light is very important to the success of a variety of applications. With the introduction of the AstroScope, Electrophysics has introduced the most advanced night vision solution available and proved its dedication to the videography and photography markets giving users the ability to transform dark, moonlight or starlit nights into bright, high-resolution imagery. At SPIE 2006, Electrophysics will continue to demonstrate that dedication, as it will be extending its AstroScope line with a model designed specially for the HD market-the AstroScope 9350BRAC-Z1U. Specifically engineered for the Sony HVR-Z1U, the AstroScope 9350BRAC-Z1U night vision adapter will give videographers the ability to produce high quality, high resolution video under very demanding conditions. Boasting a rugged and compact design that makes it ideal for demanding applications, the AstroScope 9350BRAC-Z1U incorporates a state-of-the-art, Gen III image intensifier that automatically transforms dark scenes, below 10-4 lux, into bright, high-resolution images. The 9350BRAC-Z1U delivers optimum performance, the sharpest detail and highest quality full-frame images with no vignetting, a common problem with many night vision platforms. Electrophysics also offers a wide range of intensifier performance levels and camera specific adapters and brackets that allow users to customize the modular AstroScope to fit their individual camera models and needs. Additional AstroScope configurations are also available for a broad range of still cameras and camcorders, including the Nikon AF-type and Canon EOS-type SLR and DSLR cameras, the Canon XL-series camcorders (including the XL2 and Canon's new HD product, the XL-H1), the Sony DSR-PD170 prosumer camcorder and 2/3" B4-mount cameras. "The ability to record high-resolution night vision is invaluable," said Jay Jones, Director of Night Vision Sales for Electrophysics. "Worldwide, the AstroScope has received praise from professionals in a myriad of industries, including professional broadcast, law enforcement and the military, as the ideal accessory for both video and photo applications. With the BRAC-Z1U, we've extended the AstroScope's superior night vision capability to the HD market, and we have given users the ability to acquire low light imagery with breathtaking detail, in high definition." The AstroScope 9350BRAC-Z1U is easy to set up and requires no specialized training to operate. The 9350BRAC-Z1U connects to the camcorder in two places; the fixed lens filter thread and the 1/4" x 20 tripod mount. A relay lens extension tube that boasts an exceptionally fast, custom designed optic is positioned between the CIU and the camcorder and screws directly into to the camcorder's lens filter thread. Additionally, the AstroScope 9350BRAC-Z1U supports common objective lenses including C-mount optics and Nikon and Canon SLR lenses.
