Axiom Pro offers bigger screens, HybridTouch™ more sonar options; eS & gS Series move up to LightHouse 3 OS.
FLIR Systems Inc. is pleased to announce the full line of Raymarine Axiom Pro Multifunction Displays is now shipping. Available in 9, 12, and 16-inch sizes, the Axiom Pro line expands Raymarine’s award winning Axiom range of high-performance MFD’s to offshore fisherman and performance-minded cruising boaters.
Axiom Pro models are designed around Raymarine’s proven HybridTouch™ control user experience, featuring both a multi-touch touchscreen control of the LightHouse 3 OS along with keypad and rotary control interaction. The combination of tablet like touch screen and intuitive keypad operation lets captains confidently access all of Axiom Pro’s features in all sea conditions.
Axiom Pro is also available with two different built-in sonar options. Axiom Pro RVX models feature RealVision 3D, CHIRP SideVision, DownVision, plus a 1kW integrated high performance CHIRP sonar for deep-water fishing. Engineered for cruising and sailing yachts, Axiom Pro S models are equipped with a single high CHIRP channel sonar for accurate depth sounding conventional CHIRP sonar imaging.
Like the original Axiom series, Axiom Pro models are powered by Raymarine’s advanced LightHouse 3 operating system. LightHouse 3 and Axiom provide a fluid and intuitive navigation experience that is easy to expand into an advanced navigation network which includes multiple Axiom and Axiom Pro displays, Quantum CHIRP radar, Evolution autopilot, and FLIR thermal night vision.
LightHouse 3.3 Coming to eS and gS Series
Raymarine is also extending LightHouse 3 operating system to its eS and gS Series lines of multifunction displays. Releasing in December of this year, the new LightHouse 3.3 will be available as a free upgrade to Raymarine eS Series and gS Series owners. Once upgraded to LightHouse 3.3, eS and gS Series owners will benefit from faster performance, stunning visuals, and even more intuitive operation.
Upgraded eS and gS models will network seamlessly with Axiom models, allowing boaters to expand their current onboard systems to include latest Axiom specific technologies like RealVision 3D sonar.
LightHouse 3.3 will be available in December on Raymarine.com. Axiom Pro models start at $2,299.99 USD, € 2,395.00 and are available from Raymarine’s authorized dealer network.
