The BVIT is a visible photon counting detector mounted on the 10m Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) that is designed to provide observers with very high time-resolution photometric imaging observations of astronomical objects. The instrument, which is capable of recording photon events with a precision of 25 nano-seconds, is (as of January 2013) a general-user facility instrument on SALT. A short description of BVIT can be found on the SALT instruments website, but seriously interested users should use this Berkeley web-site for the most updated details.
