Introduction
The VisionMaster FT ECDIS provides a complete IMO-compliant type approved (IEC 61174tdz) Electronic Chart Display and Information System and meets the requirements for navigating without paper charts when installed with a backup ECDIS.
The system’s Universal Chart Manager is designed to work with a broad range of authorized vector and raster charts, including S57, C-Map, ARCS and PRIMAR. Charts may be uploaded directly through a DVD reader or uploaded via the optional Performance Based Navigation VisionMaster FT Gateway.
The VisionMaster FT ECDIS features disappearing menu bars and menus which disappear when not in use, to optimize full-screen viewing of the chart display. The split-screen Function (one of five display modes) permits two independent charts to be shown simultaneously, or for displaying the same navigational picture at different chart scales.
Multiple voyage plans can be created quickly and edited easily at any time during the voyage without interrupting the navigation process. The ECDIS automatically correlates targets with radar and AIS to minimize mistaken identity and simplify watchstanding.
Radar Overlay is an optional configuration for the ECDIS workstation. With Radar Overlay, the accuracy and safety of radar information is added to the electronic chart.
