EUROPEAN NEWS: BFi OPTiLAS introduces Knight-Eye imager

JUNE 11--BFi OPTiLAS (Evry France; www.bfioptilas.avnet.com), an AVNET Company and a pan-European technical distributor of specialist products and services, including design engineering support, to the electronics and photonics markets, is introducing a thermal imager from Liteye Systems, which provides products in the fields of microdisplays, thermal imagers, and night-vision cameras. The Knight-Eye is a hand-held unit that is water tight and rugged, yet light enough to be easy to carry or wear. Whether hand-held or helmet mounted, the microdisplay gives a large high-resolution picture that allows for easy target detection. It has an AA battery power source.

The Knight-Eye was designed for military and law-enforcement applications, and it is ready for almost any environment. The unit has NTSC video out for recording and can be tripod-mounted. The Liteye-patented microdisplay technology gives an image as big as a big screen TV, without the power draw and weight of a standard LCD screen.
