CP300/CP300i VIDEO INPUT

By accessing this menu it is possible to see images on the CP300/CP300i display from an
external video signal source, if connected to the CP300/CP300i. It allows the "picture-in-
picture" functionality, so a Video Input image can be shown on a window or overlaid on top
of the Chart, Navigation, Highway, Celestial and NMEA pages image at full screen.
If the Video Input signals is not detected (E.g. the video camera is not connected to the Video Input
connector), the VIDEO INPUT menu item will be greyed out.

2.12.0 Video Camera Input

The CP300/CP300i has one connection for video camera. Any NTSC or PAL camera will
operate correctly. To connect use the video output of the camera and connect to the optional
ACVC10 cable.

2.12.1 VCR or DVD Input

A VCR or DVD may be connected to Video port. The CP300/CP300i does not have speakers
so the audio from the VCR or DVD would have to be routed to a stereo system.
STANDARD HORIZON offers an optional cable called ACVC10 that allows any VCR or
DVD to simply be plugged into the CP300/CP300i.
