It wasn’t obvious to me on first read, but the “plain” NSO Evo3 models are all-in-one MFDs while the Evo3 MPU models use a black box processor able to run two “dumb” displays. So you get to choose based on redundancy, install, and value considerations. This seems like customer-friendly design, and I also think that a dual 19″ MPU system at $11g is a good deal.
Hi Ben, looks like the B&G link is to the old version of the product – this is the B&G equivalent: https://www.bandg.com/bg/series/zeuss-glass-helm/
Thanks, Joe. I fixed the link and also found the equivalent Simrad page at:
https://www.simrad-yachting.com/simrad/series/nso-evo3s/
Both do a good job of explaining the nice choice between Integrated and black box processors.
Is not IP video still available?
So Ben while your rolling around the MYS ask the simrad guys if their website is correct: MPU:dual quad core processors… or your site is correct, dual six core processors.
Good question! And hopefully Ben Stein will get to see both the NSO evo3 display and MPU systems up close. But we don’t edit press releases, so the confusion is all Navico:

Ok so apparently the 19” dual system with mpu for $10999 includes the “p” monitors which are for pilot house installs and are only 300nits. The “t” monitors are 1,000nit. And not included in a bundle. Any intel on that front?
