Chapter 1 Overview
Hardware Configurations
A VisionMaster FT system consists of the following hardware
configurations:

A single node system, comprising one console connected to a
transceiver, antenna and turning unit (collectively known as a
Scanner Unit), see Single System.

An interswitched system, with each console connected via an
Interswitch to separate Scanner Units, see Interswitched System.

A multi-node system, where consoles, configured to specific
product types, are connected via a LAN, see Multi-Node System.

A single node dual radar system comprising one console
connected to two Scanner Units, see Dual Radar Single System.

An interswitched system, with a combination of dual radars and
single radars, connected via a six way Interswitch to Scanner Units,
see Dual Radar Interswitched System.

A Client /Server Radar (CSR) system where one or more servers
provide radar video over a network for display at Client nodes, see
Client Server Radar System.
On conventional radar systems radar video and other radar/chart radar
sensor data is output directly from the PCIO to the console (monitor and
PC)

. On a CSR system data is output from the PCIO to the Server unit
before the data is supplied on request to Client nodes via an Ethernet
network.
Traditional bridge equipment and most navigation sensors can be
interfaced to a VM FT system. On a CSR system Client nodes can provide
master or slave displays at any required location.

On VM FT systems that require no radar (for example, ECDIS without radar overlay or
Conning Info Display) a PCIO is not required. Data can be received over a network
connection.
