Good news folks, its a great time to be alive. The future is now.
Color Night Vision

This apparatus inerfaces with a PVS-14 and turns your trusty PVS-14 into a color NV system. Its not for everybody but it costs less than a PVS-14.

I am (un?)fortunately unable to access Facebook and the image shows just how Photobucket treats it's users, in other words shows a FU message, but I am guessing this is the color wheel tech.

How would you rate it against the red tubed & objective lens filtered color NV Sentinel? Obviously the other is a bino, but performance, clarity, light loss -wise?

That's weird, I'm not on Facebook either but I am able to view their page.

Speaking of which, what is that antifa person holding in their hand in the upper right photo?

Is this compatible with green phosphorous and white phosphorous? Does it reduce your resolution?

LOL Sam the future does not involve Photobucket. Ditch that shit.

Hi Murtis, red tubed, lens cover etc. not even close...No light loss, no clarity issues. It's a REAL game changer, and no we did not fake the pics! LoL, someone on Facebook asked us that.

We will have plenty of info on the new system very soon. Thank you.

Ye and yes, and no Rez loss...But does seem to give an even brighter image with WPT.

I am assuming it is. Not very head mountable but neat nonetheless.

Thanks Vic for your thoughts compared to the "color" Sentinel.

Is there different color wheels for each phosphor? Would guess green wouldn't need green filter at the output side. Given how little green phosphors have red and blue in them no doubt the image is dimmer.

How and how well does this work with IR laser/illum?

It works best with natural star/moonlight and that will effect how it works with artificial illumination but IR lasers appear reddish using the system.

Great question, we will have many pics and vids showing all.

Is this practical to use with bino's? Ie. Buy one for each tube...seems like it might be rediculously bulky/heavy.

Is there some "theory" out there of how this works? A patent maybe?

There was a thread about this same thing not long ago. I think there was some info on how it worked.

I hope the final product is better looking and smaller than ColorTac's prototype

Yes, but TNVC says the production version will be much smaller than the prototype. So lets see when they can share new photos.

it is much smaller, the company making the Color tac partnered with an extremely compentent manufacturer within the NV industry and were able to lighten, strengthen and miniaturize the prototype by at least 20%. I will post a picture of the final version when i get cleared hot by higher up.

Looks fascinating and tag for more info.

Will this be compatible with a magnifier or other units?
