Video Input and Output Considerations
This device allows video input from composite video sources and video output to a monitor, depending on the model. When connecting video input and output sources, observe these considerations.
-
The chartplotter may have one composite-video input port labeled CVBS IN or two composite-video input ports labeled VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2.
-
The composite-video ports use BNC connectors. You can use a BNC to RCA adapter to connect a composite-video source with RCA connectors to these ports.
-
The video from sources connected to these ports is available only for display on the device or on an additional monitor connected to the device. Composite video is not shared across the Garmin® Marine Network or NMEA 2000® network.
-
-
The chartplotter may have one DVI-D video output port. You can connect a DVI-D or DVI-I cable to the port to view a mirror image of the screen on a computer monitor or HD TV.
-
If your device includes a DVI cable connector, a rubber gasket is included. This gasket must be installed between the DVI port and cable connector to avoid damage to the connector.
-
If needed, you can use a DVI-D to HDMI® adapter to connect to an HD TV or other HDMI compatible display.
-
Although it is recommended to use DVI cables sold by Garmin, high-quality third-party DVI cables may be used. You should test the DVI cable by connecting the devices before routing the cable.
