LiveView is the Live tracking and data visualization software delivered by Thelma Biotel. It provides live streaming of acoustic data to your computer or with the Deckbox field kit. LiveView is used as a visual reference when starting and stopping transmitters, for active tracking, communicating with deployed TBR family receivers, and calling up acoustic releases.

Frequently used together
Use Thelma Biotel Receivers, Live, And DeckBox together with LiveView
Live
Live is a digital, multi-frequency receiver (63–77 kHz) with precise millisecond-level timestamping for fine-scale positioning. It instantly transmits detections via RS-485, and its compact, rugged design makes it ideal for harsh environments where space is limited. Designed with a strong focus on energy efficiency, Live can operate directly from your field laptop or run for months - or even years - on small battery packs.
DeckBox Field Kit
The DeckBox is a versatile topside kit for manual logging of acoustic transmitters, retrieving TBR 800 Release units, and performing status checks on deployed equipment. With its rugged, waterproof tablet and our free LiveView software, you get flexible, real-time control and monitoring right in the field.
Focus - Directional Amplifier Field Kit
The Thelma Biotel Focus – Directional Amplifier Field Kit is a precision-engineered acoustic reflector that fits seamlessly over the standard Live transceiver. It delivers powerful signal amplification within ±15° of your target. Designed for use with the DeckBox, the Focus extends your operational range and pinpoints the bearing of any acoustic transmitter. It is essential for maintaining a safe communication distance when working with the TBR 800 Release – Deep model, and we recommend it for all Release receivers operating at depths greater than 200 m.
