NETD, Noise Equivalent Temperature Differential, or Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference is talked about a lot by thermal device manufacturers, like market leaders Pulsar, but Tom & Dave get to the bottom of explaining what it means and the real impact it can have on the thermal you're thinking about buying. Not all thermals are the same... Pulsar are the only manufacturer that publish the real NETD of the sensor and not all NETD's are the same!
0:00 What does NETD mean?
0:28 What is best a small NETD or a large NETD?
0:44 What figure have Pulsar traditionally used for NETD?
0:56 What kind of thermal sensors do Pulsar use?
1:13 What some other manufacturers give as an NETD figure (sNETD)!
1:39 What sNETD is measuring
2:13 Is NETD and sNETD the same?
2:48 The importance of quality components
3:30 How a heavily processed sNETD effects image detail
5:07 NETD versus sNETD. What Pulsar now give you
5:32 How a heavily processed sNETD effects battery life
6:18 How a heavily processed sNETD effects latency
7:10 Why Pulsar is better when it comes to NETD
