I would hope it does, cause that capability already exists for 1/2 the price of a new Digex in my 3 year old Photon and would believe the Photon RT and the Wraith would do that also.
Here's review, if that's what you call it, these guys are Pulsar Dealers. They don't really get much into specifics more of a cheer leading episode.

UK NV needs/wants are different from ours, they're shooting rabbits, rats and some fox. They Prefer high magnification and aren't concerned too much with FOV. It's long range shooting at more stationary targets. They prefer high performing IR lights with lower NV sensitive higher resolution optics. They speak highly of the Drone Pro and Pard NV008

A few guys in the UK have got their hands on these, below are some comments from "nightvisionforumuk"
It will never be a dayscope, its primarily a night vision scope,I wouldn't use one in the daytime even though it would do no harm.
The positives low profile mounts really low to maintain cheek weld, magnesium tube construction , adds strength and the ability to use any ring mounts of your choice. HD eye display , very sensitive sensor to minimise IR required, slightly over 720px mp4 recording built in, scaleable reticule so aim points are always known. I would say it is one of the best overall build dedicated units for the price.
Negatives , APS batteries replaceable although not as long running as the new IPS range in the Helion/Trail , low base mag of x4 , some may like for the increased field of view, digital mag is very usable and PIP is the best I have used, but some may require more base magnification, menu scroll wheel can be annoying when selecting a function as it can jump to the next setting as you push it in.
Would I buy and use one yes, will cheaper scopes do the same job end of the day yes, but none will be as well built currently as these for the overall features and design. I'm a fan of the Pard NV007 and NV008 units, its all I currently use alongside thermals, they offer great value for money day and night without doubt and there tiny, in fact you don't need anything else as there the complete package...so its all down to personal choice, what you require the DIgex is just overall more a finished solid product in terms looks/design/features albeit purely for night use..
Is it worth double the price of an NV008 ??? It wont shoot you any more foxes, personal choice and needs..
Another...
To be fair, the Digex is probably a good second to the Drone Pro and at around half the price of a new Drone Pro (ENV10), will satisfy a lot of people who have never seen through a Drone Pro.
Mind you, used Drone Pros are now selling for around £1300 so that would IMHO be a better way to spend my money.
This comment is an example on how our lighting needs are different, his take is the scope is too sensitive based on the IR lights they are running
Yes picked one up on Friday. Not had chance to try it out in the field yet cos of the sxxt weather down here in South Devon. Initial impression looking out the back window is, included 850nm is crap, 850nm Dark Engine is way too powerful for normal 100-200yd even on flood and white`s out, 940nm Dark Engine is doable from 50 yds + but think I would need to digi mag up for the shot and don`t like the loss of clarity when comparing it to my STac/Pard007 combo. The objective focus seems inconsistent in its to and fro travel but the overall build quality is excellent. I think it will be going back.
The Yukon Sightline is the UK version of our Photon
I tried the Yukon Sightline against a Pard NV008 and whilst the overall build was good and features like PIP, very sensitive to low light the unit was very big and heavy, and didn't like too much IR as its not designed for that, its designed for minimal IR and sensitivity . In all honesty I preferred the Pard NV008, so much lighter and smaller, capable of day use in 1080p, inbuilt IR, recording, etc it didn't stand a chance only one two points which were overall build and low light sensitivity ..
The Digex steps up again and I much prefer the design of it over the Sightline, it does bring performance improvements, but is it worth double an NV008 again in terms of performance and versatility for most peoples need, no.. overall build is better by far though.. and it is first and foremost a "low light" night vision scope with good recording , menu, pip , etc
And how do they not know about us coyote hunters....
The EU/US customers like wider field of view and more sensitivity to allow minimal IR for hunting up close on pigs/boars , I do think Pulsar need to get on the 1080p and 4k bandwagon but as we all know they need laser illumination to truely bring them out and there has been much heated debate around these recently...BUT others will be making strides against this requirement and things will no doubt change again within the coming months..
If Pulsar brought out a Digex with a 1080p sensor colour/night sensor I think they would be a huge success as they have the design, strong build, software and basically platform all there for the taking...although they would still be competing against the likes of a Pard NV008 and NV008 LRF , which they could probably never match price wise.
Pulsar currently only concentrate on lower resolution, higher sensitivity NV scopes rather than low sensitivity high resolution scopes ...
