SIView

SIView, developed by Matt Norwood, is a Multimedia Editors & Converters software designed to read recordings from Humminbird's® Side Imaging Units after processing through Son2XTF. The latest version, 1.0.5, brings a variety of features and customizations for users to enhance their experience. The program file, SIView.exe, ensures smooth operation on multiple operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

SIView allows users to manage their Humminbird recordings efficiently. Users can change the image path to customize where processed images are saved. The units of measurement can be switched between USA and Metric. Different units have various screen sizes which SIView accounts for by allowing adjustments to the aspect ratio. If users encounter out of memory issues while opening XTF files, they can modify the maximum image height within a valid range of 500 – 3000. The water column noise rejection percentage is another adjustable feature to help filter water column noise, with higher percentages resulting in more filtering.

A notable feature of SIView is its ability to merge up to 3 consecutive images into one, which is particularly useful when an image frame splits mid-interesting observation. This function can greatly improve the user experience.

The program falls into the Multimedia Editors & Converters category, catering to users looking for efficient management and conversion of multimedia files.
