    Standard professional thermal systems come in 30hz (Fast Imag- ing or FI) while many commercial viewers run at 9hz (Standard Im- aging or SI). In 2012, ATN is proud to offer 60hz (Enhanced Imaging or EI) options for most of its thermal systems. With Enhanced Im- aging you will never have to worry about hitting behind the moving target because your skill outpaces the technology in your scope.
