Introduction

The M6 is the latest addition to Marport's acoustic receiver range.
It has the same functions as the M4 system and is meant to replace it. It has the latest advanced
features of the Mx receivers:
• It works with the latest digital signal processing, combined with the smartest software available.
• You can receive up to 100 simultaneous data from sensors. This way, you can have a full
coverage of data received from sensors to efficiently monitor the trawl.
• You can listen to 6 hydrophones simultaneously. Only data coming from the hydrophone
delivering the best signal is interpreted. This way, you do not need an hydrophone selection
switch, as often used in older types of receivers.
• Thanks to the numerous hydrophones, you can have a better reception of the sensors.
• You can receive data from standard sensors, net sounders and high-definition sensors at the
same time.
• Data received can be displayed on echogram images that you can watch from the wheelhouse.
• The receiver can detect signals received even from a long transmission range.
• There is a large frequency range. This way, you have enough bandwidth to add multiple sensors.
• There are 2 NMEA and 4 NTC entries to receive hydrophones' temperature data.
This M6 system works with an Apple Mac mini, an Mx computer and two Mx receivers. The SDS
computer processes the signal and displays on a screen connected to the Mac mini data received.
You can configure the sensors and display data to suit your needs.
