FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

San Diego, CA, July 10, 2002 - Xybion Electronic Systems Corporation today announced release of its newest rugged, high performance imaging system - the ISG-780/1180 intensified, auto-gated CCD camera. This latest addition to Xybion's series of ISG cameras provides enhanced low-light-level performance with increased gain and resolution. The camera is capable of supporting applications ranging from scientific investigation to aerial surveillance operations. The ISG-1180 version has higher sensitivity, less halo, and supports faster gating than previous ISG series cameras, allowing for improved stop motion analysis and brighter light venues without saturation.

Through use of an advanced control algorithm and proprietary high voltage power supply and gating circuitry, system dynamic range is continuously optimized and spans up to 8 decades of light control; further, built-in support for an auto-iris lens expands system performance to 12 decades, or more, of light control. This versatility is vital in order to guarantee performance in uncontrolled lighting conditions that could quickly damage less sophisticated systems. "The ISG-780/1180 is much more sensitive than previous cameras in the ISG series," stated David Frost, Vice President of Marketing. Dick Sturz, Director of Sales, noted that "... the on-camera intensifier, camera gain level adjustments, and extensive gating capabilities, deliver significant operational capability improvements for our customers." Additional features include a rear panel trigger/gate input that allows for laser range gating and temporal imaging. The camera is conveniently operated on a universal power supply.

Xybion Electronic Systems designs and produces high-performance, analog and digital CCD and CMOS imaging systems for science, surveillance, harsh environment space/military, imaging spectroscopy, industrial inspection, high-speed, low-light intensified and non-gated, and intensified multi-spectral imaging. Xybion's intensified cameras offer imaging in conventional and high resolution formats for low light and motion analysis applications and the company's extensive experience in imaging applications enables it to focus leading-edge technologies on real-world applications.
