Raymarine has launched its new flagship Ray70 Multifunction VHF Marine Radio and the LightHouse II Version 12 Software upgrade for Raymarine multifunction displays.
As Raymarine’s new flagship VHF, Ray70 streamlines multiple communication tools into a single device. The Ray70’s integral Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver simplifies installation and delivers critical vessel traffic information to compatible navigation displays.
Combine the Ray70 with an optional RayMic remote and boaters can enjoy the flexibility of dual-station control and intercom capability.
The Ray70 has been launched alongside the new Ray60 VHF and the ultra-compact Ray50 VHF. Each radio features audiophile-quality speakers, noise-cancelling technology, and a sharp new design that is said to match perfectly with Raymarine MFDs and Glass Bridge displays.
VIDEO VIEWING
LightHouse II Version 12 is the latest quarterly upgrade for Raymarine multifunction navigation displays. New in this release is support for a quad-split video display of connected IP video cameras.
Raymarine users can now view and record four live camera streams simultaneously, as well as capture snap shots and video with a simple touch of the MFD’s screen.
