What Is a nit?

NIT is a metric for measuring brightness, which is how much light an object emits. Actually, it’s technically a measure of luminance and its units are candelas per square meter, or cd/m2. “Luminance” refers to the intensity of light, an objective property of nature. “Brightness” often refers to how we perceive luminance. Brightness in this sense is nonlinear and subjective, so it can’t be measured quantitatively.

Why do other monitors claim sunlight readable yet they claim far lower nit ratings (like 500 to 1000 nits)?

They may not be straight-forward with their claims. Assuming they have a high contrast ratio, in direct sunlight the colors will typically appear washed out and lacking in details. This is due to back reflection from the sun and surroundings as well as other factors.

What’s the difference between “sunlight readable” and “daylight readable”?

Sunlight readable mostly refers to direct sun falling right on the screen. Daylight readable may refer to non-direct sunlight and not necessarily even at the brightest time of day.

Why are Brytee monitors so readable in direct sunlight?

The design uses several key technologies including optical bonding, which reduces back reflections, and a powerful backlighting system. Optical bonding makes better use of the monitor’s intrinsic high brightness.

What is optical bonding?

Optical Bonding an optical-grade polymer which fills the gap between the LCD panel and the protective front glass. This eliminates internal reflections, eliminates the possibility of internal condensation, increases the contrast ratio and improves the image quality.

How tough are Brytee monitors?

Very tough. The screen uses automotive-grade, chemically strengthened glass to prevent breakage. The housing is all metal to prevent damage to the high resolution display during rough handling and usage.

How can the monitor be set up and used in the field?

We developed two customized solutions for getting Bryee out in the action:

Our battery powered, IP67 rated, field case we call The Box 13,

Our battery powered, tripod mounted soft carrying case we call The Powered Tri
The monitor offers standard VESA mounting, a standard A/V mount and VESA compatible M4 side mounts. It fits on small, lightweight, portable tripods, other camera mounts and a range of other mounting configurations.
An A/V integrated harness combined with the a neck strap attached to the M4 side mounting holes, allows a user to wear and operate Brytee on location.
With an A/V type vacuum mount, Brytee can even attach to the side of a vehicle.
How will you take your Brytee outside?
