The new Pulsar Digex C50 is a state of the art digital day/night
vision riflescope incorporating a more powerful 1928x1088 FHD CMOS
sensor which dramtically increases the units ability to observe high
amounts of detail day and night with full colour during the day
switching to HD night vision at night.
Puslar Digex C50 Features
24/7 Use
The use of different lens and sensor operating modes guarantees the
best results at any time of day. In the morning and at twilight, during
the day and after midnight, the image is clear and detailed. The scope
discerns game trophy qualities and peculiarities of behavior in Full HD
resolution, providing the hunter with the maximum possible information
to make the right decision and take a shot.
Full colour imaging from sunset till dusk in the Colour Twilight mode
In deep twilight, when the human eye is already unable to discern
details of observed objects, the Pulsar Digex C50 displays a bright
image with correct colour rendering, prolonging hunting time into the
night.
Realistic daytime colour rendering
The Digex C50 combines the full colour imaging of classic daytime
optics with ultimate digital functionality. So conservative day hunting
becomes high tech and a usual day sight is simply unnecessary.
Over 500 meter night viewing range
The Digex C50 has the best sensitivity in its class for infrared
spectrum (night sensitivity), including a wavelength range of 900–950
nm. The device is highly effective when paired with invisible IR
illuminators. This makes the Digex C50 a perfect tool for detecting
targets such as wild boar, deer and elk at distances ranging from 500
meters.
Up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge
The Digex C50 is powered with two rechargeable batteries: one built
in with a capacity of 4.9 Ah, the other replaceable with a capacity of 2
Ah. A single charge guarantees up to 10 hours of battery life, which
covers the time of active use of the scope for a hunt. The embossment on
the body of the replaceable battery for accurate determination of the
correct position makes it possible to quickly and confidently replace a
flat battery with a new one in complete darkness by touch.
Stream Vision 2. WiFi integration with iOS and Android devices
The built in WiFi module connects the device with either Android or
iOS smartphones using the Stream Vision 2 mobile application. This
combination opens up a wide range of options: wireless device software
updates, real time image transmission to the mobile device screen,
remote control digital functions and much more. Users registered in the
application are provided with cloud storage space for photos and videos
taken with the device.
Classic design. Mounting on standard 30 mm rings
The Digex C50 offers visual aesthetics on any hunting weapon. From
the outside the scope resembles a classic day sight in a 30mm housing.
This form factor provides flexibility for mounting the scope on hunting
weapons using proven ring solutions.
5 shooting profiles / 50 zeroing distances
The Digex C50 offers a choice of ten different reticles that vary in
colour, configuration, and function – direct shot and ballistic,
scalable (FFP) and non-scalable (SFP). Zeroing results are stored in
five shooting profiles. Each profile can hold up to 10 zeroing
distances.
High precision aiming with the “Picture in picture” mode
The “Picture in picture” function enables the shooter to display a
high precision aiming frame. Occupying only 10% of the total display
area, the frame contains an enlarged image of the target and a reticle,
which provides the user with a more detailed image of the aiming area
and gives visual control of the entire field of view.
High caliber recoil rated up to: .375H&H, 12 gauge and 9.3×64
Digex digital scopes are highly shock resistant and can be used with
rifled hunting weapons of calibers 9.3×64, .30-06, .300, .375H&H,
etc., as well as with smooth bore and pneumatic weapons.
Variable magnification from 3.5x to 14x
The base magnification of Digex C50 scopes increases fourfold – 3.5x
to 14x. The zoom changes either gradually in 2x step or continuously to
set the ideal ratio of magnification and visible field of view for
specific conditions. The high resolution sensor guarantees the
possibility of accurate aiming and long range shots over the entire
magnification range – the level of detail is sustained even at maximum
magnification.
High contrast HD AMOLED display
1024×768 HD AMOLED display has enhanced color rendering, power
saving, a high contrast image and quick response, providing clear and
smooth images for on the move observation or in cold conditions.
SumLight enhanced sensitivity software
The SumLight function increases sensor sensitivity which enables
passive observation (without IR illuminator) in low light conditions and
at night. The software automatically activates algorithms (such as
adding adjacent pixel signals of a sensor, frame addition), thus
increasing the sensitivity of the device while maintaining image
quality.
Wide angle eyepiece for comfortable observation
The wide angle eyepiece (29.5°) and wide viewing angle of the HD
quality AMOLED display provide comfortable image perception and the
absence of the keyhole effect with safe removal of the exit pupil of
50mm. Observation with the Digex C50 does not strain your eyes and
enables the hunter to fully concentrate on the hunting process.
Photo and video recording
Upgrade usual night video recording to the new experience of full
Colour recordings for day and night hunts. All it takes to take a photo
or start recording is a touch of a button.
Remote firmware update
A smartphone, the free mobile application Stream Vision 2 and
Internet access is all that’s needed to check updates and install new
firmware. Updates with bug fixes and new functions are implemented into
the scope used by the hunter with no need to send it for repair.
Operating temperatures: from -25 to +50°C
Pulsar Digex C50 scopes are designed to operate in a wide range of
temperatures (-25 to +50°C). The frost resistant AMOLED display features
a quick response rate and ensures a crisp image when viewing fast
moving objects.
Completely waterproof IPX7
With an IPX7 waterproof rating, the Digex scopes work in conditions
of high humidity and heavy rain and can withstand half an hour immersion
in water to a depth of 1 meter.
Instant Start up
Just 3 seconds from the moment you press the power button the Digex C50 is completely ready for work.
