Digital Yacht has launched a phenomenally fast onboard PC designed specifically for the most demanding of marine 3D charting applications. The new Aqua PC Pro uses Intel's latest i3‐530 processor and features a solid state hard disk drive for the ultimate in reliability and speed. It comes preinstalled with the latest Windows 7 Premium Home (64 Bit) operating system together with 4 GB RAM, 10 x USB ports and built in high speed 802.11n wireless networking. It will also drive up to two displays using the latest HDMI and DVI/VGA connections.
An optional, four port dedicated NMEA internal interface (all opto isolated) together with configuration software can be specified, that effectively allows the PC to act as a four way multiplexer for the most sophisticated of navigation programs and systems.
Despite its power, Aqua Pro measures just 30 x 27 x 7cm and operates directly from 12v or 24v DC without the need for an external inverter. It offers an amazingly quick zoom and redraw capability, unmatched by any dedicated marine type plotter equipment.
