The INNODA Marine Fishing Touch Monitor series is engineered to deliver enterprise-grade visual clarity and rugged reliability for demanding offshore marine environments. Available in four standardized marine form factors—12.1-inch, 15.8-inch, 18.5-inch, and 21.5-inch—this display family provides boat builders, naval architects, and marine electronics integrators with an open-architecture, compatible alternative to proprietary marine MFD hardware.
Whether navigating open-ocean swells on a sportfishing center console or tracking deep-sea fish aggregations on a commercial purse seiner, captains require displays that resist direct equatorial sun glare, blinding sea spray, and violent hull pounding. By integrating high-lumen 1500-nit LED matrices, optical bonding, circular polarization matching, and isolated wide-voltage power architectures, this series ensures continuous 24/7 situational awareness across all marine bridge systems.
Key Architectural & Engineering Highlights
- Four Unified Marine Display Formats:
- 12.1″ Compact Model: Engineered for shallow center console dashes, RIB steering pods, and flybridge wing stations.
- 15.8″ Standard Model: The universal footprint for offshore tournament sportfishing helm pods and dual-screen dash configurations.
- 18.5″ Widescreen Model: Optimized for deep-drop multi-beam sonar split-screens, bottom-structure imaging, and radar overlays.
- 21.5″ Glass Bridge Model: Flagship multi-window display integrating engine telemetry, thermal FLIR cameras, ECDIS navigation, and SCADA vessel automation on a single seamless helm.
- Polarized Sunglasses Visibility (Quarter-Wave Technology): Standard consumer and commercial screens develop severe black distortion spots or optical extinction when viewed through polarized fishing sunglasses. Our marine panels integrate specialized optical retardation films, ensuring crisp, 360-degree color accuracy regardless of the operator’s viewing angle or head tilt.
- Vacuum Optical Bonding (Zero-Fogging Guarantee): Offshore air contains high humidity that condenses on interior glass panes when cockpit air temperatures drop rapidly at night. By filling the internal air cavity with an index-matched solid optical elastomer, internal condensation is physically impossible, while surface reflection is cut by over 80%.
- Conductive Saltwater-Immune PCAP Touch: Seawater possesses high electrical conductivity that routinely triggers false touches on standard capacitive screens. Our custom-calibrated controller firmware actively analyzes capacitance profiles, rejecting continuous water sheeting, salt spray mist, and standing puddles while responding reliably to gloved and wet finger gestures.
- Marine Black-Box Interoperability: Features dedicated EDID marine auto-negotiation over HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort. Connects instantly with high-tier marine processors from Simrad (NSO evo3S), Garmin (GPSMAP 8700), Furuno (NavNet TZtouch), Raymarine, or industrial marine PCs running TimeZero (TZ Pro) software.
- Heavy-Duty Marine Trunnion & Flush Mounting: Every unit includes a precision-stamped, anti-vibration aluminum U-bracket with oversized ergonomic hand knobs for dash-top or overhead mounting, along with perimeter clamping brackets for seamless glass-dash flush mounting.
