Fishing ship monitoring system FX80

trawlrecording

The Simrad FX80 is an innovative and advanced catch monitoring system that allows you to monitor the fish activity inside your fishing gear using a live video stream. A real-time video feed from the trawl has long been desired by fishermen and researchers alike. Cabling and slip-rings have been the issue. One of the primary design criteria of the Simrad FX80 system was to make it work on existing 3rd wire cables. We have achieved this goal using copper core coax cables. The use of existing copper core coax cables eases the cost and reduces the installation time. KEY FUNCTIONS Revolutionizes your ability to identify, analyse and catch Live video feed from inside the trawl Video recording, editing, export and playback Requires high quality 3rd wire cable Small and light-weight system offers easy installation Easy operation using familiar graphic interfaces System may include optional high resolution Simrad DFS75 Trawl sonar With the DFS75, enjoy high resolution colour sonar and echo sounder images SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Real-time video is and will be of significant use when addressing by-catch and by-catch avoidance issues. Trawl behaviour can be viewed in real time with the FX80 system. Fish behaviour can also be observed in real time. The real-time aspects and advantages of the FX80 takes the speculation and guess work out of the equation. This has the potential to increase the efficiency of any trawling operation and will stimulate the creativity of fishermen, trawl and gear manufacturers. The Simrad DFS75 Trawl sonar is integrated into the Simrad FX80 system to establish an efficient and accurate monitoring system for your gear and your catch.
