Pulsar Thermion Duo DXP50 thermal/day-night imaging sight

Pulsar  Thermion Duo DXP50

Pulsar is once again at the forefront of innovation with the Thermion Duo DXP50. The world’s first multispectral hunting riflescope, the Thermion Duo combines the high-tech thermal imaging Pulsar is known for with the clarity and vividness of a full-color daytime optic.Full darkness, rain and fog will not prevent the Thermion Duo DXP from locating a beast and revealing its trophy qualities. The 4K resolution digital channel gives the full colours of day hunting.

The daytime digital channel clearly draws objects at distances of 10 meters and over. Using the Thermion Duo DXP as a daytime riflescope is always simple and convenient as the lens does not require focusing. The 4K-resolution CMOS sensor provides exemplary detail and identification of objects across the entire range of magnifications. Day hunting is not only comfortable, but also high-tech when using the Thermion Duo DXP. A full-colour image peculiar to classic daytime optics is combined with extreme digital functionality. At any time, the hunter can record an image, change the reticle pattern and colour, or connect the riflescope to a smartphone.

A high-sensitivity European-made sensor with < 25 mK NETD captures minimal temperature differences when observing in low temperature contrast conditions, or in rain or fog. The 640 x 480-pixel resolution ensures reliable identification of the target, high-quality visualization of important anatomical features of the animal plus minute details of the surrounding landscape. The sensor's large size gives the Thermion Duo DXP a wide field of view for comfortable and informative observation of both static and dynamic scenes.

The potential of the high-sensitivity sensor is fully revealed in a thermal imaging channel by the high-aperture F50/1.0 germanium lens. The thermal imaging channel ensures maximum detection efficiency for the hunter in any weather conditions at any time of day.

The Thermion Duo implements modern algorithms to reach a new level of image detailing, clarity and contrast. The thermal imaging channel, using a wide range of halftones, has the capability to render complex scenes with evenly emitting low-contrast objects, such as the sky, grass or water surfaces. The enhanced detail and software that sharpens objects at different distances, renders a highly informative thermal image. Manually increasing the sensitivity of the thermal imaging sensor allows you to improve the quality of detection of the animal if observation conditions deteriorate. A smoothing filter and brightness and contrast settings ensure comfort for prolonged observation times. The daytime channel gives ideal image perception in both sunny and cloudy conditions.

The Thermion Duo supports four observation modes. The digital image mode is used for daytime hunting. The thermal imaging mode is designed for night conditions, and as an auxiliary mode in difficult daytime conditions – fog, dense clouds, rain, oncoming or side sunlight, tall grass, shrubbery and trees in sight affect the ability to detect an animal, comfortably observe it and clearly determine its trophy characteristics. The “Picture-in-Picture” function in the Thermion Duo makes it possible to simultaneously display images from both optical channels, prioritising the thermal or digital image.
When level of light decreases, daylight sensor of Thermion Duo switches into black and white mode. Such transition allows to maintain low noise level, clarity and high definition of digital image in the evening up to sunset.

The advantage of thermal imaging is early animal detection at any time of day. At night, it is the most effective way to find game at a great distance. Due to high-quality long-focal-length optics and a high-sensitivity sensor, the Thermion Duo DXP sight has outstanding capabilities for the observation range – an object with a height of 1.8 m is detected at 1800 meters in complete darkness. During the day, the Thermion Duo thermal imaging channel helps locate game despite fog, haze, difficult terrain and camouflage, in tall grass, behind shrubbery or deep in the forest.

The built-in Wi-Fi module will connect the device with smartphones based on Android and iOS via the Stream Vision 2 mobile application. This combination provides a great opportunity, such as wireless update of the device software, transmission of images to a mobile device screen in real time, remote control digital functions and many others. Users registered in the application are provided with cloud storage space for photos and videos taken with a digital or thermal imaging device.

Keep the best moments of observation and share them with your friends and hunting colleagues. One touch of a button is enough to capture an interesting moment or start recording video. The 16 GB internal memory enables recording many hours of video and tens of thousands of photos.

Objective lens with an internal focusing mechanism gives a clear and sharp image at any range. Ergonomic focusing wheels are located on the right and left sides, making focusing easy either left- or right-handed.
