The Pulsar Accolade 2 LRF XP50 2.5-20
Thermal Binocular uses the NETD <40mK thermal imaging sensor, greatly
improving resolution, delivering the smallest temperature difference
readings to the image, even in smoke, fog, or precipitation. Thermal
binoculars operate both day or night because the imaging is based on an
IR sensor, not ambient visible and near IR. The "LRF" in the name refers
to a built-in laser rangefinder, which operates in either Single or
Scanning modes, each accurate to ±1m at ranges up to 1km.
The Accolade 2 LRF XP50 ranges from 2.5x to 20x via digital zoom.
Pixel resolution is 640x480 to each eye, at a 50Hz frame rate. 8 color
palettes are available, including black, red, or white hot, and a
variety of other colors let you fine tune for the heat signature you're
viewing. These palettes are displayed below. The body is IPX7 waterproof
when the Li-ion Battery Pack IPS7 / 6400 mAh / DC 3.7 V battery is
installed. Built-in WiFi lets you share your sightings in real time,
streaming to your smart device using the included Stream Vision App, and
the video will appear smooth thanks to the 50Hz refresh rate. Objective
lenses are 50mm f/1.2 for outstanding light gathering and transmission.
Picture-in-picture 2.5-20x digital zoom with a 12.4° field of view
gives extensive control over framing.
A small note on NETD It must be noted that the sensibility of the sensor is affected by the NETD value but is not the thermal imaging system capability itself. What this means is that a 40mK sensor is not able to measure temperature differences of 0.004 °C of the target, it means that the sensor is measuring a difference of 0.004 K on its focal plane. One Kelvin is the same magnitude of one Celsius degree, difference being the Kelvin is an absolute value. A temperature of 1 °C of the target, roughly translates to a difference of 0.03 K on the FPA of the sensor of a well-built Thermal Imaging device. A 40mK rated sensor is therefore able to measure temperature differences of slightly more than 0.1 Celsius – and that is amazing for a mainstream, semi consumer (or “prosumer”) product like the Pulsar Accolade 2 XP50 LRF thermal binoculars. High sensor resolution Sensor 640x480 @ 17 µm (NETD <40 mK) The high 640x480 pixel resolution ensures all objects within the field of view have the highest level of detail. High resolution makes the smallest objects, i.e. branches, leaves, body extremities of an animal, appear exceptionally crisp and clear against the background.
Long detection distance Detecting object at long distances are an important feature for optics users in outdoor environments. Optic quality and the best thermal imaging sensor available make a unique combination designed to deliver the longest detection range possible.
Smooth and incremental digital zoom Incremental zoom is a perfect solution to quick, on-the-fly zooming. When time is not a limiting factor but slight details are, the device’s smooth zoom is the better option.
Comfortable for long observation The dual eyepiece configuration reduces eye fatigue during longer viewing and enhances the natural look of objects. The human brain is pre-conditioned to receive visual information from two channels simultaneously. The brain then combines the information into a single image. When one eye is used to observe, the brain only receives information a single input. The increased effort from the brain to override the standard algorithm of visual perception can quickly lead to the observer feeling fatigued and uncomfortable.
Variable interpupillary distance The ability to adjust the distance between eyepieces allows the user to best position the optic for individual needs. Interpupillary distance differs from person to person. Adjusting for individual fit dramatically improves viewing comfort and quality, and eliminates the potential for double-imaging.
Laser Rangefinder Precision shooting begins with knowing the distance to your target. The Accolade LRF features an integrated laser rangefinder capable of capturing and displaying target distances accurately, within ±1 m., up to 1000 m.
High refresh rate 50 Hz High Image frequency is important when shooting at moving targets. A high refresh rates ensures motion is fluid and in real-time, allowing more accurate speed assessment and shot placement.
Built-in video recorder The Built-in video recorder is a great asset when it comes to filming or taking photos of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. One press of the REC button captures footage that can be shared easily with colleagues, friends and family
Live internet video sharing Connecting the device with a smartphone or tablet allows a user to access the internet and live-stream video directly to YouTube.
Frost resistant AMOLED display The device is designed for flawless operation in extreme weather and temperature conditions. Whether the environment is freezing cold or blistering hot, the image retains its contrast and vivid colors without loss of frame rate. The high-contrast, color AMOLED display uses top technology to ensure stable, high-quality imaging in virtually any weather conditions.
Stadiametric rangefinder The stadiametric rangefinder helps to estimate range to an object based on its size. The device’s advanced, proprietary, rangefinding interface provides important ranging information within seconds.
Quick-change long-life rechargeable battery packs The device’s innovative battery-release mechanism ensures fast, flawless battery changes. Rechargeable IPS5 battery packs provide up to 8 hours of continuous operation in Wi-Fi mode.
Fully waterproof IPX7 Rain, snow, fog, high waves or waterways, the IPX7 waterproof rating ensures the device won’t fail in even the toughest wet weather conditions. The IPX7 rating means the device has been manufactured and rigorously tested to withstand extreme natural weather conditions, even submersion to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
“Picture-in-Picture” mode Picture-in-Picture provides a second, magnified reticle-area image to help the observer see magnified target details without loss of the field of view.
Color palettes The 8-color palette enhances viewing in varying conditions. While the classic “White Hot” mode is exceptionally versatile, “Hot Black” is often favored for detecting wildlife at night. Red monochrome helps to reduce or prevent bright backlight from exiting the eyepiece. Sepia often improves long-range observation while “Red Hot”, “Rainbow” and “Ultramarine” enhance temperature differences of various object attributes. Violet helps to identify objects faster.
