Digital and HD Digital Radome Antennas | Raymarine

Raymarine Digital and HD Colour Radome Radar

Radome antennas are the perfect blend of compact size, light weight and high performance. Choose a radome antenna when space is a premium or restricted by rigging. Radome scanners also consume less power than open array scanners which is essential for long-distance cruising sailboats.

Raymarine radar - What's the difference?

Marine Radar Scanners | Raymarine

Digital Radar Image | Raymarine

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.

Available models: Digital Radome

HD Color radar

Raymarine's HD color radar utlizes 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. HD color radar delivers a dramatically clearer radar picture with crisp, well-defined contact echoes and a life-like target presentation.

Available models: HD color Radome and HD color Open Array

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. Super HD Color 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.

Available models: Super HD color Open Array

Digital vs HD color

Features Digital vs HD Digital Radar

HD color targets are clearly defined compared to the standard Digital image.

HD color vs Super HD color

Features HD Digital vs Super HD Digital Radar

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.
