Abstract: A programmable display interface device and method is easily adapted to de a variety of different display devices of different sizes and resolutions including CRT, LCD, EL, FED, and plasma displays. The interface device and method also allows such displays to be connected to and display images from different video and graphics sources such as cameras and computer outputs and allows the display of 3D stereo image data to any of the above mentioned displays in the format that is compatible with any of the time-multiplex, spatial-multiplex, and multiplexed multi-images methods used in producing 3D stereo effects. The interface device and method applies equally to color and monochrome displays.

Abstract: A camera system providing color night vision for use in reconnaissance, or he like. The system includes a first lens, a mirror subassembly for splitting the lens image into three images, a filter subassembly for respectively filtering the three images through a red filter and a green filter and a blue filter first and second and third intensifiers having respective first and second and third camera units which view the three images and send three image signals in series to a display monitor where the color image is viewed.
