Model TD2.3 electrobinoculars/Legends

Manufactured by Neuro-Saav Corporation, the TD2.3 electrobinoculars consisted of stereoscopic sights and a computer-enhanced magnification systems encased in a weatherproof plastic shell. It also included imaging chips that allowed use during bright days or dark nights. Another component was the automated dampener filter that provided protection against blaster flashes, flash grenades or other sudden bursts of light. The TD2.3 could focus on targets up to 600 kilometers away.
==Characteristics==
The Model TD2.3 was a type of electrobinoculars manufactured by Neuro-Saav. Like all electrobinoculars, the TD2.3 employed stereoscopic sights and computer-enhanced magnification to view objects at long ranges. Encased in a durable, weatherproof plastic shell, the unit had three individual lenses that worked in concert; the image balance lens, the electronic lens, and the manual magnification scope. Users looked through the electrobinocular's twin viewing scopes to see the image gathered by the lenses on an internal display screen.
The TD2.3 had computer-enhanced telescopic lenses that gave the electrobinoculars a magnification factor of five hundred. Imaging chips were used to adjust and enhance the available visible light, allowing the viewer to see clear images even on the brightest day or in low-light conditions and totally dark environments. Dampener filters were installed in the TD2.3 that would engage automatically if bursts of light were detected, such as those from flash-bang grenades, spot-lumas, blasterfire, or atmospheric phenomenon, to prevent the user from being blinded.
A secondary nonelectronic lens was capable of one hundred times magnification and was used if the electronic lens failed or if it was returning readings that were considered to be unreliable. The TD2.3 featured an instant-focus function that could quickly shift between objects that were at different distances as well as providing a high-resolution image even when the target was moving. On-screen readouts would display the distance to the object, as well as the elevation, and the relative and true azimuths. An internal computer would analyze all of the information gathered by the electrobinoculars, automatically sharpening and enhancing images as well as employing wide and zoom angles.
Dials and controls on the left hand side of the electrobinoculars were used to activate the TD2.3's zoom function, focus the lenses, and to adjust the low-light settings. Focus studs allowed for precise incremental adjustment of the telescopic magnification, while eight zoom settings could be preprogrammed into TD2.3 which could be cycled through by pressing the reset button. The TD2.3 could be run through a self-diagnostic routine that was intended to ensure that the electronic imagers provided a constant and clear reception, which was activated when the calibration switch was pressed.
The TD2.3 had several dataports that could be used to link the electrobinoculars to peripheral devices such as holorecorders, datapads, and recording rods. Internal software allowed the device to be synchronized with blasters, displaying an electronically generated crosshairs on the readout screens. The unit's power cells charged themselves and lasted approximately six months.
==Behind the scenes==
In Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds and its sequel, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns, the Model TD2.3 was depicted as the symbol for the integrated rangefinder, with an AT-AT in its field of view, which increased infantry range to its final level.
