Seatronx Launches River Radar Display
Seatronx, manufacturer, distributor and designer of rugged electronics catering specifically to the military, maritime and industrial markets, launched of the sunlight-readable RRD-19T River Radar Display designed for river-based commercial vessels.
The RRD-19T features a 19-inch display with portrait orientation designed specifically for river radar systems. The portrait format allows operators to see further down the river, while highlighting traffic, weather and markers in narrow channels. The RRD-19T is simple to install in any panel mount or dash top configuration and is compatible with most popular black box radars such as Furuno or Koden. The display’s LED TFT screen produces a clear and contrast-strong image both day and night, and offers wide range dimming to accommodate any lighting condition. It also offers clarity with full HD resolution and performs the best in sunlight viewability, viewing angles and visibility through polarized eyewear.
The RRD-19T offers eight inputs that eliminate the need for additional switching systems. Now users can view cameras, vessel monitoring, navigation and communication computers from each display – saving money and minimizing clutter at the helm station. RRD-19T features a wide operating temperature range and the sealed front panel is designed to withstand marine conditions. The touchscreen and remote keypad allow for complete control, while the eight inputs (two DVID, one VGA, one DP and four composite) give operators the ultimate flexibility in installed accessories.
