2.13 VIDEO INPUT
By accessing this menu it is possible to see images on the CPV550 display from an external
video signal source, if connected to the CPV550.
It allows the “picture-in-picture” functionality, so a Video Input image can be shown on a
window and placed over the Chart, Navigation, Highway, Celestial and NMEA pages image
at full screen.
NOTE
If the Video Input signals are not detected (E.g. the video camera is not connected to the Video
Input connector), the VIDEO INPUT menu item will be grayed out.
2.13.0 Video Camera Input
The CPV550 has two connections for video camera. Any NTSC or PAL camera will operate
correctly. To connect use the video output of the camera and connect to the optional
ACVC10 cable.
2.13.1 VCR or DVD Input
A VCR or DVD may be connected to either Video port. The CPV550 does not have speakers
so the audio from the VCR or DVD would have to be routed to a stereo system. STANDARD
HORIZON offers an optional cable called ACVC10 that allows any VCR or DVD to simply
be plugged into the CPV550.
