Furuno 12bb Marine GPS System User Manual


 
2.8. External Monitors
IMPORTANT: Never connect or disconnect a DVI or VGA cable while the MFD is
running. Always power OFF the MFD before making any change to a connection. The
same remark applies when powering ON or OFF a monitor.
2.8.1. MFD8/12
A DVI monitor can be connected to the MFD8/12 to repeat the screen at a remote
location. The plug is DVI-D format and only a DVI monitor can be connected.
The MFD8 has a 640x480 (VGA) DVI-D output. The MFD12 has an 800x600 (SVGA)
DVI-D output. Furuno offers the following DVI cables:
- 5 Meter DVI Cable (FUSA P/N= 000-149-054)
- 10 Meter DVI Cable (FUSA P/N= CBL-DVI-10M)
Note: The DVI-D Vertical frequency output is 56Hz on the MFD12 and 60Hz on the
MFD8. Make sure that the monitor is compatible with these frequencies.
Please refer to the paragraph “Waterproof Connection” p.42 when a waterproof
connection is needed.
2.8.2. MFDBB
The MFDBB has two DVI-I output ports (Matched Selectable Res from 800x600 up to
1280x1024). The DVI-I output of the MFDBB will “Autosense” the monitors and allow
either DVI monitors or VGA monitors to be plugged in using a “DVI-I-to-VGA” adaptor:
IMPORTANT: When a DVI cable is used, we recommend using only “single link” type
DVI Cables (avoid “double link” type cables).
