AstroScope for Broadcast Video

The Broadcast night vision modules are designed for ENG / EFP 1/2" and 2/3" cameras and delivers the highest quality nighttime video images available to professional broadcasters. Mounted between the camera and the lens, the module amplifies low-light scenes so they are easily viewed and recorded by the host camera. Designed for bayonet-mount ENG / EFP cameras, the AstroScope is easy to use and requires no set-up, calibration or training.
