1. NavNet 3D System Q1.SYS How many NavNet 3D MFDs are allowed in one network? Any combination of up to 10 (ten) MFDs are allowed in one Network. However, the actual number of displays in the system may be higher if MFDBBs are installed using “Clone” or “Extended” Display Mode. More information about the Clone and Extended Modes for the MFDBB can be found in this document Q2.
PAGE 4
Q8.SYS What is the purpose of Audio In/Out? An analog speaker can be connected to any MFD/MFDBB (for Alarm). Audio Input is provided for future applications. Q9.SYS What is shared in the network? The NN3D was designed as a network system. Radar, Sounder, IP Camera, Points, Routes, Tracks, Navigation Data, and System Settings are all shared via Ethernet on the NN3D network. Please note that the Charts are not shared across the network and need to be installed on the Internal Memory of every MFD. Q10.
PAGE 5
2. NavNet 3D Connections Q1.CON Can I connect a USB mouse? Yes. A generic USB mouse may be connected to any NN3D MFD. Virtually any "off the shelf" USB mouse (wired or RF wireless but NOT Bluetooth) will work with NN3D. However, in order to utilize full RotoKey functionality, you will need a mouse that has a scroll wheel that is also "clickable" with a middle click, which will emulate selection and confirmation of a desired RotoKey function. No loading of additional mouse software (driver) is permitted.

Synchronization signal. Here is a list of all devices that support the Power Synchronization: - Q4.CON All NN3D Display: MFD8, MFD12, MFDBB and DCU12 All NN3D Radar Power Supply: PSU-012 and PSU-13 Sounder: DFF1 and DFF3 Can a standard Ethernet Switch be used for NavNet 3D? Yes, a 100Mbps Switch can be used.
PAGE 7
When Extended Mode is used (with only one keyboard), the two screens need to be located in close proximity to each other. Dual keyboard installation from one processor requires uses of the monitor “Clone” mode. Q7.CON If two monitors with different sizes and different native resolutions are connected to the MFDBB, what will happen? The BB can only output the same resolution to both of its DVI-I ports.
PAGE 8
Q9.CON Is it possible to terminate a NMEA2000 bus in the DRS? A termination resistor is provided with each DRS. In most cases, this resistor will be required when connecting one or two Furuno NMEA2000 Devices to the DRS. It must be inserted into the appropriate NMEA2000 terminals inside the DRS while installing the system. Q10.

standard with each MFD. Each 0183 I/O port can accept baud rates of 4800 or 38.4Kbps and output strings are independently programmable for each port. Q14.CON What type of Heading inputs are supported by NavNet 3D? Only NMEA heading (NMEA0183 or MEA2000) can be connected to a NN3D MFD or DRS. Furuno proprietary AD10 (4-wire Clock and Data) protocol is no longer supported. Heading input to NN3D will allow functions such as Radar Overlay, North Up in Radar and heading stabilization to work correctly.
PAGE 10
3. Compatibility Q1.COMP Are NavNet 1/vx2 systems compatible with NavNet 3D? NN3D has limited compatibility with certain Furuno NMEA0183 and Ethernet sensors that may be part of an existing NavNet 1/vx2 System. Some of these are the BBGPS, BBWGPS, BBFF1, BBFF3, BBWX1, FAX30, FA150 and most existing transducers. However, because NN3D is based on new technology, there is no network compatibility between NavNet 1/vx2 processors/radars and NN3D MFDs.
PAGE 11
4. Chart Q1.CHART Are current Navnet vx2 CMAP or Navionics Charts compatible with NavNet 3D? No, however, NN3D is preloaded with the entire U.S. NOAA Raster (RNC), Vector (S57-ENC), and Bathymetric Database. Free high resolution satellite photos are available for the USA coastline as well. Note that it is not possible to preload all satellite photos, due to their large file sizes. The dealer or end user will have to install specific satellite photo areas on the internal Hard-Drive.
PAGE 12
Q6.CHART Can I directly load NOAA charts from the NOAA www site? No, not directly. NN3D can only display MapMedia charts in MM3D format. For the USA, the MapMedia chart data comes from the NOAA BSB raster chart and S57 vector chart library. Customers will be able to update their NN3D charts for free using an SD Card and a PC connected to Internet (to download the charts). Information will be posted to registered users when new updates are available. Q7.
PAGE 13
5. Chart Plotter Q1.PLOT What is the “Ghost Cursor”? The cursor movement is synchronized between radar and plotter screens when displaying both radar and plotter screens. Heading data is required to enable this function. Q2.PLOT What is the Minimum/Maximum Zoom Range? 50 feet to 3,000 nm, horizontally across the full MFD display. Zoom range is based on the distance of radius of the inscribed circle that is fitting inside the screen. Zoom Scale Q3.
PAGE 14
6. Radar – Digital Radar Sensors (DRS) Q1.DRS Do all NavNet 3D DRS products have High Speed antenna capability? Yes, all DRS antennas, Domes and Open Arrays, automatically increase in speed from 24 to 36 to 48 rpm as range is decreased, and depending on the radar range 14 selected. When the Radar is used in Dual Range, the antenna rotation is fixed at 24RPM. The antenna rotation speed can also be fixed at 24rpm for all modes/ranges if desired. Q2.
PAGE 15
7. Fish Finder Q1.FF What is the new Airmar Transducer ID function available with NN3D and the DFF1 and DFF3?? This feature enables compatible transducers to transmit important data to the DFF1 or DFF3, including transducer model, functions, frequency, power rating, beam pattern, impedance, ceramic element configuration and acoustic window material.
PAGE 16
8. Camera/Video Q1.CAM What types of IP Cameras can be connected to NavNet 3D systems? Only AXIS IP Cameras (www.axis.com) that support MPEG4 Video are compatible with NN3D, as a networkable video source. Certain Axis PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) IP Cameras may also be controlled with NN3D Systems for features such as pan, tilt, and zooming.

Please note that due to the MFD12 output vertical frequency, it cannot be directly connected to a TV (that only accept vertical frequency of 60Hz) 15
