iGEN Image Capture: Night Scope That Takes Pictures

In 2007, First Texas Products hit the market hard with an industry changing innovation. iGEN 20/20 is a “Night Vision Viewer” that uses state-of-the-art image processing technology, taking the night vision market to an entirely new level. Because it does not use traditional intensifier tube technology, the unit works day or night.

The Night Vision Viewer can be connected to real-time video making it possible to record in complete darkness. The user can adjust the exposure time to enhance the light-gathering capabilities and it has programmable time out features. iGEN 20/20 offers a variety of color output choices and it has enhanced infrared sensitivity that is double that of the intensifier tube technology.

And just when you think there is no improving on perfection, they have done it again! iGEN IC has all the features of the original unit but includes image capture capability. It truly is the world’s first picture taking night scope. Equipped with a SD memory card slot, the unit captures black and white images on a standard memory card. The images are saved as JPEG and TIFF format and can be easily transferred to a computer- no special software or accessories are needed.

Both units have an all glass 2.6x lens that provides 70-ft field of view and ambient light amplification of 650 times. iGEN 20/20 and iGEN IC are superior in quality, resolution and clarity to anything else on the market and they deliver stunning image quality every time. Great for camping, hiking, sailing, wildlife observation and much more; both units can be used day or night and are equipped with a tripod mount.
If you have ever considered purchasing a night vision device, now is the time!

JVC Rolls Out New Camcorders for PMA

Hard disk drive

The new line of JVC Everio Hard Disk Camcorders feature a super-slim design that makes them the world’s smallest hard drive camcorders on the market.

For 2008, there will be Everio camcorders available in sapphire blue, ruby red, diamond silver and onyx black, allowing consumers to choose a model based on features, budget and style. Also new is Laser Touch, a touch-sensitive scroll bar that simplifies operation, both 30GB and 60GB models, and a new design that’s some 20 percent smaller than last year’s entry-level model. In addition, a higher-end model offers higher-resolution digital stills by virtue of a seven megapixel CCD, making it unnecessary for people to carry both a camcorder and a digital still camera. This model is the first in the world to have an embedded 1.3” hard disk drive (30GB), which allowed JVC to integrate a large 1/2.5” CCD and its accompanying large optical lens section, without getting bulky — thereby providing the quality benefits of a large lens while maintaining a small body and offering large capacity.
