The VisionMaster FT ECDIS provides a complete IMO-compliant 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, BA, ARCS and PRIMAR. Charts may be downloaded through a supplied CD reader or optionally through the VisionMaster gateway connected to a broadband communications link.
The VisionMaster FT ECDIS features navigation bars and menus which disappear when not in use, to optimize full-screen viewing of the chart display while ensuring that important navigational data is not hidden behind information windows and menus. The split-screen capability permits two independent charts to be shown simultaneously or display of two different chart scales for an area of interest. An innovative picture-in-picture feature allows for viewing a specified area at a user defined size on the ECDIS display.
The user can quickly create and store multiple voyage plans, which can be edited at any time during the voyage without interrupting the navigation process. The ECDIS automatically correlates targets with radar and AIS to minimize mistaken identity. The conning information display shows all important navigation data in a clear easy-to-read format. Radar functions can be controlled from the ECDIS console, and AIS ship data can be entered through the ECDIS for convenience.
