RAYMARINE has expanded its aSeries with new LightHouse II powered 9 and 12 inch Multifunction Touch Displays.
Raymarine says its new a9 and a12 displays deliver fast and fluid navigation, multi sonar capabilities and new video and thermal night vision integration.
The new 9” and 12” multi touch displays are equipped with Raymarine’s best in class touch screen display technology with pinch to zoom, a fast 10Hz internal GPS and extensive wired and wireless networking expansion capabilities.
The new models are also powered by the latest release of Raymarine’s LightHouse II user interface. The latest release of LightHouse II is even easier to use and customize with all new multi sonar capabilities. Anglers can now create their own custom sonar command center with multiple independent Digital, CHIRP or CHIRP DownVision sonar channels running simultaneously. This powerful and independent sonar control lets anglers view both internal and network sonar modules together for the ultimate in underwater intelligence.
Built for speed, the a9 and a12 with LightHouse II deliver a fast and fluid chartplotter navigation experience. A 10Hz 50 channel internal GPS provides accurate and smooth vessel tracking at high speed while a powerful dual core processor and a dedicated graphics processor delivers effortless panning and zooming of Raymarine LightHouse vector and raster charts (USA only). The aSeries also supports all Navionics chart formats including Navionics’ community sourced SonarCharts.
With visual and thermal camera integration the new a9 and a12 are a boater’s sixth sense at sea. Optional Raymarine thermal cameras with superior FLIR infrared technology can be viewed and controlled via touch screen, letting boaters “see” in total darkness and stay safe. The a9 and a12 also support multiple video over IP cameras for keeping watch of crew, docking maneuvers, or engine room monitoring.
Boaters can also access the a9 and a12 anywhere onboard with built in Wi-Fi wireless networking and Raymarine mobile apps. With Raymarine mobile apps boaters can view and take control of any aSeries display right from their tablet or smartphone. Built-in Wi-Fi also lets boaters sync with Navionics mobile apps. Boaters can sync waypoints, routes, and now even charts. The new Navionics Boating app delivers charts and chart updates wirelessly from the Navionics app direct to any LightHouse II powered display.
In addition to Wi-Fi, the a9 and a12 feature built-in Bluetooth for remote control of MP3 music and connection to Raymarine’s optional RCU-3 wireless steering wheel remote.
