GEOVID LUX 8x 56 BRF Range Finding /Data-Voice Transmitting Binoculars: a hand-held or tripod mounted system that combines precision optics with a 6.8 degree actual field of view with an integral electronic communications module. This sends and receives via a sophisticated system of prisms to enable a totally new form of audiovisual communication. Besides viewing distant objects the user of these binoculars can also talk to other binocular users via a headset.
Using infrared light waves in a custom band from 300nm to 2000nm, the LightSpeed technology transmits voices (at 16, 32, or 64 Kbps) to another GEOVID LUX up to a distance of 1-½ miles (2-½ km) away - crystal-clear, without any interference, day and night. For voice it employs any tactical/COTS headset. Even data such as video, text or images can be fed in via the USB port and transmitted at a rate of up to 1 Mbps. This development has evolved from a cooperation arrangement with the well-known secure electronics development company in the USA. This form of bug-proof communication offers special police and military units a wealth of tactical advantages. The extremely compact yet powerful LEICA GEOVID LUX 8x 56 also has further application potential in stalking, industry and rescue services.
