Simrad NSS12 evo3S Combo Multi-Function Chartplotter/Fishfinder Radar Bundle HALO20+ – No HDMI Video Outport

The Simrad NSS12 evo3S Halo20+ bundle combines a 12-inch SolarMAX IPS HybridTouch display with a HALO20+ pulse-compression dome radar rated to 36 nautical miles. Its built-in 1kW dual-channel CHIRP, Active Imaging, and ForwardScan support provide a broad navigation and fishfinding platform, but no transducer is included. The unit has no HDMI output port, so that limitation should be considered before planning a video system.

Key Features

- 12-inch SolarMAX IPS HybridTouch display – Provides a large chart, radar, and sonar workspace with touch and physical-control operation.
- 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution – Shows useful detail across chart, radar, and system views.
- HALO20+ pulse-compression dome radar with 36nm range – Provides the included radar component for target and weather awareness at sea.
- 1kW dual-channel CHIRP, Active Imaging, and ForwardScan – Supports multiple sonar views when paired with a suitable transducer.
- No HDMI output port – Prevents HDMI video output from being used as part of the stated NSS12 evo3S configuration.

Who Is This For?

This bundle suits coastal cruisers, offshore fishing boats, and larger center consoles that need radar and chartplotting together on a 12-inch display. The included HALO20+ radar makes it more complete for offshore navigation than the display-only NSS12 evo3S.

It is not ideal for a small helm or buyers who need HDMI video output. A transducer is also not included, so the sonar installation still requires separate hardware.

Compatibility

Confirmed components include the HALO20+ pulse-compression dome radar, NMEA 2000, Active Imaging, ForwardScan, and HybridTouch control. The supplied information specifically states that the NSS12 evo3S has no HDMI output port. It does not identify compatible transducer models, NMEA 0183, autopilot, or third-party radar systems. No named incompatible system was provided; verify radar, sonar, and network requirements before installation.

The NSS12 evo3S Halo20+ bundle is the right choice over the standard NSS12 evo3S when integrated radar is required immediately. The HALO20+ dome and 12-inch HybridTouch display create a useful offshore navigation package, but the missing transducer means sonar installation is not complete out of the box. The absence of HDMI output is the main limitation to check before choosing this model for a vessel with external video requirements.
