Introduction
Among Marport’s receivers, the M3 is specifically designed for smaller vessels.
Marport M3 is designed as a highly sophisticated multi-function acoustic receiver. Although it is
the most compact receiver from Marport, it uses leading edge digital signal processing that we
have combined with the smartest software available. The aim is to make possible multi-channel
operation without any compromise between transmission range and signal detection.
The M3 works with an Apple Mac Mini computer, that processes the data from the sensors and
displays them on your screen.
The M3 has a full range of capabilities:
• You can listen to 3 hydrophones simultaneously. Only data coming from the hydrophone
delivering the best signal are interpreted. As a result, you do not need an hydrophone selection
switch, as often used in older types of receivers.
• You can have a simultaneous reception from up to 12 data (depth, pitch, roll...) from standard
sensors (e.g. door spread, catch).
• You can combine standard sensors with 1 high-definition reception sensor (e.g. HDTE or NBTE
sensor such as trawl explorer, catch explorer).
• You can configure your sensors to have a net monitoring configuration that suits your type of
trawl’s gear.
• There are 1 NMEA and 2 NTC entries to receive hydrophones' temperature data.
You can upgrade the M3 system to an M5 system to be able to add more standard (up to 100 PRP
sensors) and high-definition sensors (up to 10).
Note:
These labels tag topics or actions that are specific to Scala and/or Scala2.
Depending on the version you have, you may follow either one of these labels.
