This thread is like Neighbors 2, the same as the first movie but with a few different people
autogating is a feature fitted to the power supply of the night vision device, it rapidly shuts off and turns on the unit, it massively reduces how much your tube will be washed out when exposed to bright lights, if youv ever looked at a bright light with a unit with ABC youll notice how everything around the light source goes dark as the ABC compensates, with autogating, the tube will do the same thing but youll be able to see a bit around the light source.
although this video is an advertisement it still demonstrates the usefulness of autogating, the first example demonstrates the bloom reduction and the second shows how it marginally increases the ability to see around light sources
