Why radar?
Where are you relative to your surroundings? Is there anything nearby
that could be a danger to you, or vice versa? Radar is a great aid to
navigation that allows you to:
• ‘See’ other vessels, buoyage and coastline in zero visibility
• Track targets – not everything transmits AIS…
• Double check your relative position and speed
• Avoid hazards and obstacles
• Track weather
• Find fish!
Each Raymarine marine radar system consists of a Raymarine
multifunction display (excluding A Series displays), and your choice of
Raymarine radome or open array antenna.
Hardware – Radome or Open Array?
Radomes
Digital or HD Color Radomes are ideal when power is at a premium
and mounting space is limited or restricted by rigging. Perfect for
sailboats, RIBs and smaller powerboats, radomes provide exceptional
performance even in the most challenging conditions – HD Color
Radomes provide additional features and improved resolution.
Open Arrays
Choose an HD Color or Super HD Color open array scanner for
enhanced performance and range. These larger scanners, equipped
with a more efficient antenna (increased gain) and narrow beam
widths, deliver substantial improvements in range and bearing
resolution giving great performance and clear target separation.
Technology and Software – what’s the difference?
Raymarine has 3 different types of radar antenna:
(1) Digital – 8 colour resolution
(2) HD Color – 256 colour resolution
(3) SHD Color – 256 colour resolution
Digital radar
Offers 4kW capability for improved performance and uses digital processing
for increased target definition. Digital reduces the cable size (compared to
analogue) and makes an easier interface to larger systems. Lower power
consumption and costs less than a full HD Color system.
HD Color radar
Raymarine’s HD Color radar utilises powerful signal processing technologies
that help distinguish between target types, detects weak and distant contacts
automatically, while virtually eliminating clutter and noise. The truly adaptive
transmitter and receiver automatically adjusts to changing environmental
and sea conditions. With full 256 colour resolution, HD Color radar delivers
a dramatically clearer radar picture with crisp, well-defined contact echoes,
superior target separation, and a life-like target presentation.
Super HD Color radar
Super HD Color radar is a giant leap in leisure marine radar. Using highly
advanced digital signal processing, Super HD Color radar has much greater
dynamic range than conventional radar enabling the digital receiver to
acquire and process vast amounts of echo information that is normally lost by
conventional analogue radar systems. With full 256 colour resolution, Super
HD Colour technology intelligently isolates and identifies true radar targets,
while simultaneously eliminating unwanted clutter. The extra-narrow beam
width pinpoints targets with stunning clarity. The result is a dramatically
clearer radar display.
IMAGE COMPARISON
Digital vs HD Color
HD Color targets are clearly defined compared to the standard Digital image.
HD Color compared to Super HD Color
Super HD Color reveals even more detail than HD Color. The Super HD Color
image shows that there are actually two targets in the ringed area, whereas
the same targets on the HD image appear as one.
