THE FLAGSHIP DBH EXPERIENCE
Exceptional Detail. Extraordinary Thermal Clarity.
The RIX DBH D12 represents the high-resolution performance model within the DBH thermal riflescope range, combining a powerful 1280 × 1024 thermal detector with a large 75mm objective lens.
With four times the total sensor pixels of a conventional 640 × 512 thermal detector, the D12 delivers exceptional image definition, allowing finer environmental detail and subject characteristics to be observed.
The integrated laser rangefinder, visible green laser, ballistic calculator and high-resolution circular OLED display make the D12 a comprehensive thermal imaging platform for demanding outdoor use.
01 / THERMAL PERFORMANCE
1280 × 1024 Thermal Resolution
Equipped with a high-definition 1280 × 1024 VOx thermal detector, 12μm pixel pitch and NETD sensitivity of 15mK or better, the D12 captures subtle temperature variations with exceptional image definition.
02 / ADVANCED OPTICS
Powerful 75mm F1.0 Lens
The large 75mm objective lens provides excellent thermal signal collection and a manufacturer-rated detection range of approximately 3900 metres. Ideal for detailed observation across expansive open-country environments.
03 / MAGNIFICATION
3–20× Magnification
The DBH D12 offers 3× base optical magnification with digitally adjustable magnification up to 20×. High sensor resolution helps retain more visible detail as the image is enlarged.
04 / RESPONSIVE IMAGING
Smooth 50Hz Refresh Rate
The 50Hz thermal refresh rate provides smooth, responsive imagery while scanning terrain and observing movement. Combined with the high-resolution detector, it creates a detailed viewing experience.

HIGH-DEFINITION THERMAL TECHNOLOGY
Four Times the Thermal Pixels
The DBH D12’s 1280 × 1024 sensor contains more than 1.3 million thermal pixels, delivering four times the resolution of a 640 × 512 sensor.
This additional resolution allows more thermal information to be captured across the scene, providing greater definition of objects, terrain and environmental features.
INTEGRATED DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
Built-In 1200m Laser Rangefinder
The RIX DBH D12 features an integrated laser rangefinder capable of measuring distances up to approximately 1200 metres.
With manufacturer-specified accuracy of approximately ±1 metre, distance readings can be obtained through the optic without requiring a separate handheld device.
Rangefinding information is also available to the onboard ballistic calculator, enabling distance-based calculations using configured ballistic profiles.
ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Integrated Green Laser Pointer
The DBH D12 incorporates a visible green laser pointer designed to help indicate a specific location or point of interest to another person.
Unlike the invisible rangefinding laser, the green pointer creates a visible reference that can assist with communication when locating downed game or identifying a landmark.
RIX advertises the green laser’s marking capability out to approximately 457 metres under suitable conditions, although actual visibility will depend on lighting, atmospheric conditions and the surface.
INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY
Integrated Ballistic Calculator
The DBH D12 features an onboard ballistic calculator designed to work alongside the integrated laser rangefinder.
Configured ballistic information and measured distance can be used to calculate a suggested aiming correction displayed within the scope.
Five ballistic profiles can be stored, with ballistic information transferable using Wi-Fi and the RIX+ smartphone app.
ULTRA-HIGH-RESOLUTION DISPLAY
2560 × 2560 Circular OLED Display
Experience the extraordinary detail of the DBH D12’s thermal detector through a high-resolution 2560 × 2560 circular OLED display.
With a brightness rating of 400 nits, fine 7.2μm display pixels and 256-level greyscale presentation, the screen offers rich contrast and detailed image reproduction.
A generous 60mm eye relief supports a comfortable viewing position.
REFINED ERGONOMICS
Dual-Sided Focus Controls
The DBH D12 features a dual-sided focusing system designed for convenient operation by both left and right-handed users.
Its 75mm objective lens features a protective DLC coating to improve scratch resistance and minimise fingerprints.
The robust 6061-T6 aluminium unibody construction provides excellent structural rigidity and durability, with an anodised exterior for corrosion protection.
CAPTURE YOUR EXPERIENCE
Recoil-Activated Video Recording
The RIX DBH D12 includes recoil-activated video recording, automatically capturing footage when recoil is detected.
Built-in 64GB storage provides capacity for thermal photographs and video recordings at 1280 × 1280 resolution.
An integrated microphone records audio, while Wi-Fi connectivity and the RIX+ application support media access, live viewing and firmware updates.
RELIABLE FIELD POWER
Up to 7 Hours of Operation
The DBH D12 uses two removable rechargeable 18650 batteries, offering up to seven hours of continuous operation under specified test conditions.
The battery system supports insertion in either orientation for convenient replacement in low-light conditions.
The D12 does not support external USB-C power. Carrying charged spare batteries provides a way to extend operating time in the field.
Additional Features
