SeaEye combines the technologies of optical bonding, optical enhancement films, anti-glare/anti-reflective glass and advanced backlight circuit design to produce marine grade monitors that offer the end user state of the art features and benefits as described below:

• Until SeaEye Appeared, marine monitors got by with using industrial quality imaging technology. You know what I mean. Looking straight at the screen the image seems ok, but try viewing from a large side angle and things get fuzzy. How about clarity of the image? Is the contrast good? Do things look washed out? SeaEye is all about clarity of the image. It uses state-of-the-art HD television technology to display images.

• But it moves beyond the clarity of image. It incorporates additional features important to the marine user. Can you see the image in direct sunlight? Can you maintain your night vision while looking at the image in the dead of night? How hot to the touch is the monitor? Using many inputs, what amount of noise is seen?

• Image Viewing Angle (IVA): can you clearly see the image from way off to the side? With the monitor in the center of the bridge, and you off to the wing, can you still see your radar image on it? Many monitors using traditional industrial technology either blur at angle or loose contrast or both. SeaEye optically matches all the reflecting planes within the LCD matrix to present to you a crisp, clear image at any angle.

• Sun Glass Viewing (SGV): How about using your polarized sun glasses. Try this, on a sunny day, put on your polarized sunglasses and look at your dash. Now, tilt you head to the side, If you dash is like most, all of the LCD displays will go dark (all your engines, sonar, NEMA devices, etc). That is because all LCD panels use a polarizer to channel the light waves out the front of the LCD panel. Because they are directional, polarized glasses will shut out the light when they are not in sync. SeaEye technology uses special film stacks to re-orient the light waves into a non-linear pattern – allowing you and your glasses to still see the image on the screen.

• Bright to Night Technology (BNT): Thanks to HDTV technology and the push for higher resolution, brighter, higher contrast, and faster response LCD products, SeaEye can use some of that technology to both enhance the viewing image in bright sunlight, and present a clear image that is perceptible but not over bearing in the dead of night. The ability of reducing the sunlight display down to true night vision levels is a feature of both optics and electronics. iv. Power supply: You may be asking what is the big deal about a power supply. The answer is everything. The power supply, for lack of a better analogy, is supplying the blood that flows through the entire monitor and allows images to be seen. If the supply is tainted, you see noise. If the supply passes the ground plane, you see scrolling noise. If the supply can not handle variation in input voltage, the monitor will quit. Most power supplies produce both signal noise and heat. SeaEye again brings to the fore-front technology well used in the telephony world. Telephony power supplies provide exceptionally long life, low heat, EMI/RFI isolated and ground isolated solutions. They provide the critical power that your video, audio, and networking systems require to operate year-after-year without trouble. SeaEye uses technology from the telephony field to bring clean and cool power to the monitor.

• Sunlight Readable: Traditional marine monitors use bright backlights that overpower the reflected sunlight allowing you to see the LCD image. The downsides to this are loss of contrast at high brightness (images appear washed out), high heat generation, too bright for night operations, and reduced clarity due to the brightness overpowering your eyes in presenting the image. SeaEye uses current optical technology coupled with leading edge back lighting circuitry to present the image clearly and with good contrast in any lighting condition. In bright sunlight, the AR coating on the glass difuses the sunlight so less than 0.05% of it is reflected back at you. The backlights that present the image are bright enough for sunlight but not over bright to reduce the contrast and wash out the image. The advanced circuitry compensate for the brightness and allow very low light levels for night operations. HDTV film stacks in the LCD matrix enhance the image clarity and viewing angles. All with the objective of a clear image in any condition.
