System integration
Introduction
This chapter contains general information concerning system integration of
Raymarine products.
System integration
System integration enables various instruments and displays to communicate with
each other and use the collected data to increase the functionality of the system.
Integration can simply be creating a master display and repeating it on a screen
located in another part of the boat, or taking information from one set of instruments
and showing that information on the display of another instrument.
This data exchange is only possible if the data gathering is accurate, and transfer
between instruments is fast and accurate.
Fast and accurate data transfer for navigation functions is achieved by using a
combination of two different data protocols, SeaTalk
®
and National Marine
Electronics Association (NMEA) Data Interface Standard.
Data transfer for the entertainment functions is achieved using composite video, RGB,
RS232 and 5.1 Audio protocols.
Navigation protocols
SeaTalk
The SeaTalk protocol was originally developed by Autohelm (part of Raymarine) and
enables compatible instruments to be connected by a single cable carrying power and
data in/out, without a central processor, creating a simple network.
Additional instruments and functions can be added to a SeaTalk system, simply by
plugging them into the network. SeaTalk equipment can also communicate with other
non-SeaTalk equipment via the NMEA 0183 standard.

The high speed bus
2
(hsb
2
) protocol was developed by Raymarine to enable up to ten
multiple displays to be linked together. This enables all of the screens to display data
from any unit connected the bus to any other unit which is connected to the bus. This
data can be displayed in full, split and overlay screen modes
