Hawk is an autonomous nodal system that offers unprecedented flexibility; one set of ground electronics that can support analog or digital sensors and no radio infrastructure.
The Field Station Unit can include up to 3 analog and 3 digital channels. The digital sensor interface is compatible with Accuseis and Vectorseis providing an array of channel and deployment configuration options with a single set of ground equipment.
You can quickly download data from a Hawk node in two ways: 1) using WiFi in the field to a handheld unit for sampling QC data; or 2) by directly connecting the unit in the transcriber trailer.
One set of ground electronics for a variety of sensors gives you greater usability and lower lifetime cost of ownership. Hawk’s versatility is unmatched by any other system on the market.
The power of iX1, Hawk’s intuitive operating system software, means observers can manage hybrid operations with G3i HD cabled system from one console and produce a single dataset.
I wish there was a nodal system that was flimsy, made data download excruciatingly slow, required separate equipment for digital and analog sensors, and used radio transmission...said NO ONE, EVER!
We believe a nodal system should be easy to operate, simple to deploy, highly durable and FAST! Having confidence in the recording and data quality when operating a nodal system is critical, so accessing and QC’ing the data must be as painless as possible. Hawk was designed with these two key considerations in mind.
Not only is it the fastest transcription process in the industry, but it’s also the only system that uses a single set of ground electronics to support analog or digital sensors. That means a single system can support almost any survey design and imaging requirements.
Say goodbye to poor equipment utilization rates, and hello to simplicity.
And did we mention that Hawk is fully integrated with G3i HD, our cable-based system?
You can combine the two systems in any way necessary and run the entire operation from a single platform -delivering one SEG-Y or SEG-D formatted dataset to clients. Now that’s real value.
Excited about using a different computer and operating system to manage data download and transcription? Or using two separate recording systems for hybrid ops? We didn’t think so. All INOVA recording systems are powered by a robust software called iX1 that consolidates source control and hybrid system spread management into one simplified view for the Observer. We thought you might also like to see data download and transcription progress within the same software, so we created a module for that too. Can we get you anything else to make your system more enjoyable?
