The 600v x 800h super high resolution LCD monitor on the VS825c viewing system provides for an extraordinarily sharp and clear picture under most viewing conditions. The daylight viewable monitor requires no sunshield while viewing outdoors. This makes it more versatile for summer use or while viewing outside on the open ice. It’s recommended when viewing outdoors, that the backlight (brightness) be increased to enhance your viewing experience. Although classified as daylight viewable, it is recommended that you turn the monitor away from direct sunlight. As indicated, the screen brightness can be adjusted to improve outside viewing but with direct light and monitor glare it can detract from the picture quality.

The ultra-thin monitor housing is sealed with a rubber gasket and all plug-in connections are potted to protect the internal electronics from the harsh elements. The VS800 series LCD systems are considered water resistant. They’re designed to be used in the outside elements under most conditions but they’re not recommended to be submerged underwater. While operating in cold temperature’s, the VS825c utilizes a sophisticated, thermostatically controlled LCD heating element which allows the monitor to operate at near optimal temperature. You may experience some blurriness or slow down in LCD performance when you first power up the screen in cold temperatures. It can take up to several minutes before the screen temperature reaches the appropriate operating range.

In order to create an ultra clear - high resolution picture, there needs to be a matching high quality camera. The VS825c uses the best color camera module available; the Sony Super HAD ultra low lux CCD. This camera offers a 90° angle of view, giving the user a wide coverage area for maximum visibility.

The Manta camera design matches the high quality Sony Super HAD color CCD camera to adjustable high intensity white LED’s. This lighting option incorporates MarCum’s exclusive Darkwater lighting technology. Darkwater technology greatly reduces particulate reflection and increases viewing distance by positioning the lights above and behind the actual camera lens.

Adjusting the settings on a monitor has never been so easy. The digital keypad activates an onscreen display for making adjustments to the monitor brightness, contrast, color and sharpness. In addition to adjusting the monitor screen settings, the digital keypad also controls underwater lighting, dimmer for controlling underwater lighting intensity and power ON / OFF.

To clean the monitor screen, use a cleaner recommended for plastic and a soft cloth towel.
