small dots, while small targets remain visible and persistent. Gain levels further from
your boat remain unchanged.
Super HD adjustments
You can generally use the default AUTO settings for best results, but two manual
controls allow you to explore Super HD’s capabilities.
Antenna boost
This scales the effective antenna size. At zero, the effective antenna size matches its
actual size. At 95, the effective antenna size is doubled.
Increasing effective antenna size has the effect of separating targets that appear
merged at lower settings.
In some circumstances, a larger effective scanner can be a drawback. In particular, if
you are in a harbor or close to land, you may see more detail than is useful.
For that reason, the AUTO settings for Harbor and Coastal modes provide lower
scale factors of about 30% and 60%.
Power boost
This adjusts effective transmit power. At zero, the radar operates at its standard
power (4kW or 12kW). At 90, the effective power is increased by a factor of at least
two.
Increasing power has the effect of making targets more distinct from noise. For
maximum benefit, reduce gain to prevent saturation of strong targets.
The default power boost setting for all AUTO modes is 90.
8.11Tuning the radar display: ENHANCE ECHOES
The ENHANCE ECHOES softkey gives you access to further features for tuning the
radar display.
Interference rejection
Interference rejection automatically reduces mutual radar interference when two
radarequipped vessels are operating within range of each other. It is switched on by
default.
You can adjust the strength of interference rejection in the Radar Setup Menu.
Turning interference rejection off altogether allows you to detect the presence of
other radars in the vicinity.

moving targets relative to your boat. Targets are displayed in yellow, turning to paler
shades of blue as the signal diminishes.
The wakes option is a local setting which applies only to the display on which you
are working. You can choose to display wakes for a period of 10 seconds, 30
seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes.

8.12 Radar range
You can zoom in or out to view the radar display at different scales. The scale is
measured from the centre to the top of the window and is displayed in the lefthand
corner of the status bar.
• Shortrange scales show nearby objects in greater detail, and are most suitable
as you approach coastlines, harbors, or other vessels. The shortest range available
is 1/8 nautical miles.
• Longrange scales provide the best overview of the vessel’s relationship to land
masses, weather fronts and large ships within or beyond your field of vision. The
longest range available is 72 nautical miles, depending upon the scanner fitted.
To change the radar range
1. Zoom to your required scale using the RANGE button on the keyboard.
Synchronizing radar range and chart scale
The chart application includes an option to synchronize the radar range with the
chart scale.

Safety notices
MARPA can improve collision avoidance when used wisely. It is the User’s
responsibility to exercise common prudence and navigational judgements.
There are certain conditions under which acquiring a target may become difficult.
Some of those conditions are:
•
•
•
•
The target echo is weak.
The target is very close to land, buoys or other large targets.
The target or your own ship is making rapid manoeuvres.
Choppy sea state conditions exist and the target is buried in excessive sea clutter or
in deep swells.
• Choppy sea state conditions exist yielding poor stability.
Chapter 8: Radar
199
• Inadequate heading data exists.
Symptoms of such conditions are that acquisition is difficult and the MARPA vectors
are unstable; the symbol wanders away from the target, locks on to the wrong
target or changes to a lost symbol target.
If any of these conditions are present, acquisition and tracking may need to be re
initiated or, in some cases be impossible to maintain. Improving the quality of the
heading data will reduce the effect of the other conditions.
To acquire a target
MARPA automatically tracks acquired targets, calculates target bearing and range,
speed and course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of
Approach (TCPA).
Each target tracked can be displayed with a CPA graphic which shows the target
vessel, course and speed (as a vector) and indicates the CPA. The calculated target
data can also be shown on your screen. Each target is continually assessed and an
audible alarm is sounded if a target becomes dangerous, or is lost.
Effective MARPA operation is dependant on accurate ownship’s heading and
speed. Speed Over Ground (SOG) and Course Over Ground (COG) information are
required to show true target course and speed. The better the quality of the heading
and speed data, the better MARPA will perform. MARPA will function without SOG
and COG in relative mode. For the best heading data a Raymarine SMART heading
sensor or a gyrostabilized autopilot is required.
Risk assessment
Each target is monitored to see if it will be within a certain distance from your boat
within a certain time. If so, the target is designated as dangerous and an audible
warning is sounded along with an onscreen warning being shown. The target
symbol changes to the dangerous target symbol and flashes to indicate that it is a
dangerous target. Pressing the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm and
remove the warning.
If a target is lost, either because the MARPA software has lost contact with it, or
because it has moved out of range, an audible alarm is sounded and an onscreen
warning appears. The onscreen symbol will change to the target lost symbol.
Pressing the appropriate soft key will silence the alarm and remove the onscreen
warning and the target lost symbol.
MARPA range
MARPA target acquisition is only available at radar range scales of up to 12nm,
although tracking continues at all ranges.
200
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
If you change to a smaller range scale, targets may be beyond the range of your
scanner and will be lost. In such cases, an onscreen warning will indicate that the
target is offscreen.
D6810_4
MARPA targets
Closest point of approach
Closest pointofapproach (CPA) graphics show vectors for your vessel and a
selected target. (A vector is a line showing a predicted course.) Vector length varies
with speed (settings can be changed in the MARPA Setup Menu).
Vector
CPA graphic
D9008_1
To show or hide closest pointofapproach
1. Highlight the object with the cursor.
2. Toggle to the required CPA setting using the CPA GRAPHIC softkey.
How motion modes affect CPA
In true motion mode, the vectors of your vessel and the target are shown
extended to their intersection point. The CPA is shown as a line that is placed on
your boat’s vector at the point of the CPA. The length and direction of the line
indicates the distance and bearing of the target at CPA. The text indicates CPA and
TCPA. The text next to the target symbol indicates its true course and speed.
Chapter 8: Radar
201
In relative motion mode, no vector extension of your boat is shown. The CPA
line emerges from your own boat, with the target vector extension being shown as
relative, not true. The text next to the target indicates its course and speed.
Press SHOW DETAILS to display the calculated relative course and speed.

Chapter 11:Video
11.1 Introduction
D7493_2
The video application allows you to use your ESeries Display to view images from a
video player, on board camera or DVD player. Your Display is supplied with cabling to
connect to equipment using a composite input source. You can also connect svideo
inputs to your Display. Video images can only be seen by the Display they are
connected to and are therefore not viewable across the ESeries network.
Up to four video inputs, dependent on the type, can be viewed on each ESeries display.
You can set up the video application to cycle the display of each video input. You can
also adjust the brightness, contrast, color and aspect ratio of the image.
Note: For details of how to connect such equipment to your ESeries display and the
possible input configurations, please refer to your installation guide.
11.2 Setting up the video application
Displaying a video application
Before you can use the video application, you will need to include a video
application window in a page set. For details of how to select a particular window
and application, please refer to page 221.
Notes: (1) Only one video application can be viewed per page.
(2) The video application settings are locally applied and will therefore only
affect the individual display on which you are working.
216
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
Customizing the video application
When you first use the video application, it defaults the input source type to
Composite, labels the video images Video 1, 2, 3 or 4 and sets the Cycle Video option
to OFF. You will need to change these defaults in the following circumstances:
• If you have installed cabling for use with equipment using Svideo.
• If you wish to give each video input a more meaningful name e.g. engine room,
view stern etc., DVD player etc.
• If you wish to set up the option to cycle through the available images.
All these options are accessed via the Video Setup Menu:
Cycle 1
VIDEO 1
VIDEO x
D8478-1
Press and hold
Video 1, 2, 3 or 4
You can now:
• Edit the input source type i.e. Composite to SVideo.
• Edit the video source name.
• Set up video cycling.
Selecting the input source type
Your Display is supplied with cabling to connect to a composite input source. If your
camera, DVD etc. uses SVideo input, you will need to purchase and fit the appropriate
cabling in the configuration detailed in the Installation Guide.
Each item of Svideo equipment uses 2 of the 4 video inputs i.e. Video 1/2 or Video 3 /
4. Once installed the Video Setup should be adjusted to reflect this alternative input:
1. Open the Video Setup Menu, as previously described.
2. Set Video 1 to SVideo:

Chapter 12:Using the Course Deviation
Indicator
12.1 Introduction
With your display receiving accurate heading and position information, you can use
the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) to monitor your course and accurately steer to a
target waypoint.
The CDI application is preconfigured to display the CDI graphic. You can customize the
panel to display any available data.
12.2 The CDI screen
The CDI gives a graphical representation of yours boat’s course in a ‘rolling road’
format.
The ‘rolling road’ represents a width of sea equal to the Cross Track Error (XTE) limits
that you have specified in the Setup menu. As you travel towards the target waypoint,
the checkered pattern and the waypoint will move down the screen at a rate
proportional to your boat’s speed.
Navigation data is displayed alongside or below the rolling road.
