You don't understand how bad I wanted for someone to make this type of video! You should do a second part showing an analog compared with them. I wanted to do such an experiment, but by mounting different filters which block light (e.g. 1000nm, 320-380nm etc). This will let you see how far the sensor's sensitivity is to the specific spectrum. I think the black silicon has some sensitivity to UV despite SiOnyx not claiming that. When it comes to OOB illuminators, try to get one that has very low transmission below 1000nm from the LED diode. I know SiOnyx sells a 1050nm, not sure if they picked a specific diode that doesn't emit a lot of light below the advertised spectrum. The best way would be to install a filter on such a flashlight in order to avoid any spectrum leakage. Oh, and regarding the hue on the NVG-30, this is caused by auto white balance. The colors were not calibrated on the device. SiOnyx did their own calibration. You can see the difference between the images produced by the standard Aurora models compared to the Pro model for example.
I do plan on a video with 2 different analog devices along side. An L3 Harris Gen 3 and a Photonis 4G ECHO. Probably by the end of January 2025 and I should be able to have it up. All of this stuff is expensive lol.

Which sionyx is it?
It is the Opsin with the most recent firmware.
