Night Vision Anyone from Armasight on the Hide?

I picked up an Armasight Sidekick 640 to play with, and it's got alot of neat features for a little unit.

They recently sent out a firmware update for the device, and it's actually stoopid easy to install. Seems to fix a few minor things... In my case, the B2 button would no longer power the unit down, although it worked fine the rest of the time. After the firmware update, everything is GTG.

The ONE thing that would be nice on the Sidekick would be having an Edge Detection / Outline mode. Especially, if the device is used with a PVS-14... which Armasight goes to great lengths to sell bridges and their own PVS-14 for...

Armasight! Why is there no Edge Detection mode on the Sidekick 640?

I reached out to my tech rep at Armasight and he replied

"We were going to add that feature, but it degraded the FOV image quality in our tests. So, we elected to hold off adding that feature until we can improve the feature set and user experience."

Thanks man!!

Yeah, that was the one crappy thing about the unit. Given that they are really pushing the I2/Thermal combo aspects, you'd think the processor in the unit would be able to handle that.

I really wonder who's thermal core is running that unit. Especially since most of them can handle the edge detection algorithm...

Time to start coding in C or C++ Armasight!!
