Raymarine Launches Gyro-Stabilized Thermal Night Vision
OutdoorHub 02.17.12
Premium High-Resolution Thermal Night Vision with a Color TV Camera
Raymarine announced the newest addition to its family of thermal night vision products for boaters, the T473SC gyro-stabilized thermal camera.
Engineered with FLIR thermal imaging technology the T473SC is equipped with a high resolution, long-range thermal imager, a color low light visible TV camera with 10:1 optical zoom, and active gyro-stabilization.
Using internal gyroscopes that compensate for vessel movement automatically, the T473SC’s active gyro-stabilization provides a steady image when seas are rough. Now boaters can have the best of both worlds: the power to see small objects from great distances, and smooth imagery on the open water.
The T473SC also has a color TV camera with a continuous zoom lens that automatically matches its field of view to that of the thermal camera, so users won’t get disoriented when switching between cameras.
The T473SC integrates seamlessly with Raymarine multifunction displays including Raymarine’s all new e-Series multifunction displays with HybridTouch™. The T473SC combined with an e-Series display gives boaters simple touch screen pan and tilt control, plus full access to all camera functions directly from the e-Series interface.
Housed in a rugged, waterproof gimbal enclosure that provides continuous 360° pan and +/-90° tilt capability, the T473SC provides horizon-to-horizon thermal imaging or low light color camera coverage.
