October 15, 2010 – Boca Raton, Fla. – When Hatteras Yachts debuts its innovative and market-breaking new GT60 sportfishing boat at this year’s Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, it will come equipped with three All Glass LED Marine Displays at its helm manufactured by VEI Technologies Inc., as well as the cutting edge, Apollo II Thermal/Low-Light Night Vision Camera supplied by VEI’s sister company, OceanView Technologies.VEI’s LED Series Marine Display System was introduced earlier this year at the Miami International Boat Show. It shook up the staid world of marine display design with this new advanced system, which is brighter, sharper, and produces far less heat than standard marine monitors. These monitors display charts, radar, the Apollo night-vision camera and an engine room camera.  One simple to operate LCD control unit manages what input is viewed on each screen and controls the screens functions.The Apollo II series of affordable, combination low-light/thermal night-vision cameras are favorites with recreational boaters and commercial mariners alike, allowing for safe boat operation in the dark of night, as well as in bad weather conditions. Both images can be displayed simultaneously on two displays or on one display with split screen. Standard features include an LCD Control Unit, 2x Digital Zoom, Instant home, On-Control Unit Camera Direction Indicator, and variable color palette, as well as continuous 360 Degree Pan and tilt. Both the VEI Display controller and the Apollo camera controller are exactly the same for ease of use and a beautiful look at the helm.
