Equipped with two iMX8 Quad Max six-core processors, the NSO evo3S MPU delivers fast performance and optimal responsiveness across all connected displays. It can manage two independent displays, supporting both touch and non-touch monitors. Its processing power enables rapid chart refreshes and smooth operation of demanding applications, such as StructureScan® 3D imaging. The unit features one Full HD HDMI video output and two composite video inputs (BNC).

Connectivity and Integration

The NSO evo3S MPU integrates extensive connectivity for complete system integration. It includes:

3 Ethernet ports (RJ45, including 2 PoE)
1 NMEA 2000 port (Micro-C male, 1 LEN)
2 NMEA 0183 ports (via proprietary cable)
2 USB-A ports
2 RS422 ports
1 J1939 Micro-C port

For data storage, an SD card slot (max 32 GB) is available, complemented by 16 GB of internal memory. The unit ships with a world base map.

Technical Specifications and Installation

This processor operates on a supply voltage of 9 to 31.2 V DC and consumes a maximum of 45 W, with a low-power standby mode. It is protected against reverse polarity and transient overvoltages up to 36 V. The recommended fuse is 3 Amp. Its operating temperature range is -15°C to +55°C. The NSO evo3S MPU weighs 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs) and has an IPX2 waterproof rating. A safety distance of 50 cm (20") from a compass is required. The system can be controlled via Simrad MO-series touch monitors, an optional OP50 keypad, or other USB peripherals such as a mouse or keyboard.

« Simrad NSO evo3S MPU: the central brain for multi-screen systems »

The Simrad NSO evo3S MPU positions itself as the backbone of integrated navigation systems for medium to large recreational and semi-professional vessels. As a "black box" solution, it is specifically designed for installations where display flexibility and customization are paramount, enabling the creation of tailor-made control stations, often on boats over 10 meters.

Its main strength lies in its ability to drive two independent displays simultaneously thanks to its dual iMX8 Quad Max processors. This architecture delivers the processing performance required to handle complex tasks such as multi-window displays, vector and raster chart overlays, high-resolution radar data integration, and real-time processing of StructureScan 3D fishfinder imagery—all without perceptible latency. The operator can dedicate one screen to charting and radar, and the other to fishfinder monitoring and engine data, optimizing situational awareness.

Installing this type of unit requires careful planning of network integration. With its three Ethernet ports (including two PoE) and multiple NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, USB, and RS422 interfaces, the NSO evo3S MPU serves as a central data hub. It connects easily to a wide range of Simrad devices and third-party sensors, enabling system scalability. However, its IPX2 rating means it must be mounted in a protected environment, such as a closed console or technical compartment, to ensure longevity. The flexibility of control—via dedicated touchscreens, an OP50 keypad, or standard USB peripherals—is a major asset for adapting helm ergonomics to user preferences.
