Instant Replay

Video or still photographs can be reviewed on the LCD display immediately after they are captured to perform realtime shot diagnostics (determining aimpoint efficacy, impact effect, which way the intended target ran after the shot, etc.).

Shot Activated Video/Photograph Capture

The scope can be set such that a five second video sequence is captured and stored on an Secure Digital Memory Card activated by the shot. The five second sequence can be set to contain video that is all before the shot, a combination of video before the shot and after the shot, or all after the shot. The scope can also be setup to capture high, medium, or low resolution still imagery in the same manner.

Ballistically Corrected Reticle

The scope automatically positions the scene so the shooter can hold "dead-on" at the estimated range to the target. The shooter inputs "zero range", "bullet data", "rifle data" into ballistic software, then downloads it to the scope via USB port. Then before the shot, he quickly and easily inputs "estimated range to the target" using the scope mounted key pad. The scope then positions the scene (positions the crosshairs) so the shooter can position the crosshairs at the desired point-of-impact. This allows the scope to compensate for the ballistics of the bullet/rifle combination rather than the shooter having to do it.

Realtime Reticle Swapping

The hunter can have 4 different reticles loaded into the scope at one time and can use them in a variety of different ways. One way, using this feature, is to have the scope sighted in at a certain range with Reticle No. 1 (100 yds), then a different range for Reticle No. 2 (like 200 yds), and so on. All four reticles would look the same (same color, same design). Another way to use this feature is to have two reticles for a light background such as snow and two reticles for a dark background such as dark timber. The reticle features (lines, dots, etc.) for the light background could be black, green, or red, (or any other high contrast color) and the reticle features for the dark background could be light (white, lite gray, etc). A third way to use this feature is to have light and dark reticle features incorporated into the same reticle so that the reticle can be clearly seen in light and dark background situations. A fourth way this feature can be used is to have the different reticles setup for different bullets i.e., two for a light bullet (varmints) and two for heavier bullets (big game).

Video Output Port

A video output port enables others to see what the shooter sees in real time when the video is viewed on an external monitor. This will be particularly suitable for shooting training and hunter safety classes. The video from this port allows the hunter to share his experience (whether successful or unsuccessful) with his hunting buddies back at camp through an external monitor.

Generous Exit Pupil Diameter Constant Over Magnification Range

Conventional riflescopes have significantly reduced exit pupil diameters at the higher magnifications. Since the DigitalHunter™ riflescope has electronic magnification (eZOOM), the exit pupil does not change with magnification. The exit pupil is the same at high magnification or low.

Electronic Zoom

There are no moving parts in the scope except for diopter adjustment. Magnification is accomplished electronically, centered about the designated center pixel. Aimpoint does not change at all during magnification changes like it does on conventional scopes. Resolution does not change significantly from wide field of view to narrow field of view.

USB Port

The USB port provides an easy method for downloading customized reticles and ammunition ballistics to your scope. In addition, you can upload captured images & video from DigitalHunter™ to your computer.

Secure Digital Card

The Secure Digital Card port provides a simple means of storing images & video from your scope. The port is compatible with the commonly available Secure Digital Memory Card format. In addition, all reticles and ammunition ballistic information can be transferred through the Secure Digital Card providing an alternative to the USB interface.

Power

The Power port provides an alternative power source to AA batteries. When at home designing reticles or uploading images, DigitalHunter™ can be plugged into residential power through a 12V AC/DC power adaptor. The Power port can also be connected with a number of aftermarket rechargeable 12 V power packs for those long days at the range or in the deer stand. To ensure that external cables do not interfere with shooting, DigitalHunter™ has been designed to automatically switch to battery power when external power is removed.
