    Default Need Help With Setup To Video With Si

    Hey guys I am sure this has been addressed before but here goes. I am not good with a computer and don't know squat about the language used with them. What im looking for is a simple explanation for the setup with a HB 997c SI to video and then to know how to playback video over my laptop. To complicate matters I have a macbook but I have windows installed and can run through windows if needed. I downloaded the humviewer program and so many icons appeared on the screen that I don't know how to use or remove them. I know to use a blank sd card and insert into unit and how to hit record button. The problem is not knowing if my settings are right on the 997c, im using the default settings for the most part and scanning about 75 ft in shallow water ranging from 4 foot to about 10 foot depths. In water depths of a little over 10 foot to about 20 foot I usually scan around 100 ft. In depths of 25 foot to 50 foot or so I scan about 150 to 200 ft or enough to get the water column small enough to see the detail to the sides. Each time I try to playback the sd card through the computer I don't get anything. Please help this dummy if you can.

    Thanks

    Barry

    I don’t know about easy but some of the guys on this forum here have written their own software for viewing the sonar recordings:
    Other 3rd Party Software


    I’m sure they would be willing to help you out.

    I have registered my unit and I downloaded the son2xtfile and saved to desktop and several icons came up on the screen and none seem to work or open up right so I can playback the recording.

    I am running xp version with my macbook.

    Greg mentioned the 3rd party software in the post above. One I suggest is Humm Viewer. By using Humm Viewer you do not need the son file on Humminbird.com. HummViewer will convert the file for you so you do not have to convert the file. On HummViewer all you have to do is (With HummViewer open on your desk top) file and find the sonar recording on your SD Card or on your desk top.
