Optea XLMulti, a boat projector?
Here’s a novel idea seen at METS: a marinized, 9–28v digital projector (front or back) meant to show multifunction nav data in the cockpit or—just swing it around—a big screen movie in the salon. The potential simplicity, not to mention lack of wires and weight, is intriguing, but I’m sure I’m not the only one wondering if any projector can overcome direct sunlight. (Plus, you know the kids are going to make wolf & bunny shadows on your plotter). My sense was that Optea has not yet put the XLMulti into full production, possibly awaiting investors or partners. Your move!
I don't care about projecting nav data but can we tie it to GPS and project pictures of the Maine coast onto the fog banks? This would be much better than old fashioned radar and give a big boost to the day boat fleet.
