ABOUT BUSHNELL® EQUINOX Z™ DIGITAL NIGHT VISION
Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell® Equinox Z™ Digital Night Vision. Comprised of high quality electronics and optics,
the Bushnell Equinox Z is a hand-held digital night vision viewing system that utilizes an infrared sensitive CMOS sensor, providing
edge-to-edge resolution and outstanding image quality. Fully multi-coated optics increase light transmission and decrease glare.
The Equinox Z 2x40 and 4x50 Digital Night Vision binoculars are versatile enough for many applications – from dawn to absolute
darkness. Not only can you view your subject at night, you can also record its image as a still photo or video clip, and store it on micro
SD card. The Equinox Z Digital Night Vision binoculars also include a video output port (G) (user switchable to NTSC or PAL standard),
which allows connection to video or computer equipment for recording or "live" monitoring.
HOW DIGITAL NIGHT VISION WORKS
Bushnell Digital Night Vision products collect existing light through the objective lens. The image is then processed through a digital
CMOS sensor module and transferred to the micro liquid crystal display (LCD). Equinox Z Digital Night Vision models are equipped
with a built-in powerful IR (infrared) illuminator that enables clear viewing in low ambient light conditions or even total darkness.
A NEW DIGITAL NIGHT VISION BINOCULAR DESIGN CONCEPT
In the Bushnell Equinox Z Digital Night Vision Binoculars, a single objective lens (K) gathers light and projects a focused image of the
subject onto a CMOS sensor with enhanced sensitivity to infrared light. A digital image is generated from the sensor and sent to two
near-eye color LCD displays, one for each eye. This provides a more natural, comfortable view than a typical night vision monocular
with a single display. Display focus is adjustable per eye. Back at the front of the unit, the “other side” houses a powerful infrared light
source (D) with multiple selectable output levels, and a battery compartment below the IR lamp.
