FLIR Systems has announced the release of the new Raymarine eS Series line of HybridTouch multifunction displays.
Powered by Raymarine’s advanced LightHouse II user interface, the eS Series includes three high-performance navigation displays that offer unprecedented control and ease-of-use in a sleek, ergonomic design.
The manufacturer says the eS Series with HybridTouch gives owners the choice of simple touch screen interaction or full control using the sculpted keypad and multifunction rotary controller. The keypad provides enhanced tactile feel, while the multifunction controller offers precise menu and cursor control, especially when navigating in rough conditions. Owners can also access eS Series displays from their smartphone or tablet anywhere on board using eS Series’ integrated Wi-Fi and Raymarine mobile apps. The eS Series features a choice of 7”, 9” and 12” displays, allowing for both low profile console and a completely recessed flush mounting option.
"From both software and hardware perspective, we engineered the Raymarine eS Series to deliver a simple, yet powerful user experience," says Grégoire Outters, Vice President and General Manager of FLIR Maritime. "Users will immediately enjoy the responsive HybridTouch interaction, and our intuitive LightHouse II user interface allows both new boaters and experienced mariners to master eS Series quickly"
The eS Series features optional CHIRP DownVision technology and vector and raster chart support from Navionics, C-MAP by Jeppesen, and Raymarine’s expanding library of LightHouse charts.
Owners can also customise their eS Series system with high performance network sensors, including HD colour radar, professional CHIRP sonar, IP video, and thermal night vision. The eS Series can expand even further with support for multiple displays, Evolution autopilot control, entertainment, engine, and digital switching integration options.
The seven-inch eS Series will be available from $1795 in April, followed by the nine-inch and 12-inch displays ranging between $3395 and $4795 in June.
