If Auto Switch is chosen, all the menus will be closed and the video input will be shown switching between the Video Input Full View (if connected) and the selected page. See next section for details of setting up the switching times. If the user agrees to proceed, the image from the video input and the GPS Chart Plotter page will be shown intermittently. The intermittence time is selected by Switching Timeout item.

b. SWITCHING TIMEOUT, the possible choices are 5,10,30 sec, 1, 5, 10 min. Allows selecting the timing to change from Video Input and GPS Chart Plotter display.

c. RESTORE DEFAULTS, allows restoring the factory defaults for the Input picture adjustment. When Restore default is executed, the message “OK” is shown next to the selected menu item.

NOTE (*)

If the video signal is not present on the video connector, the corresponding item in the menu will be shown with a light color (to identify that the option is not available).

II. Quick Activation by pressing [CLR] for 1 second

Pressing and holding [CLR] for 1 second from the Chart page Display or from any main page (Navigation, Highway, Celestial, GPS Status, DSC, NMEA DISPLAY); the following Soft Keys are shown: [FULL SCREEN], [PIP VIEW], [AUTO SWITCH]. If no video signal is detected on the Video Input connector, the Soft Keys will be shown in light color in order to identify that they are not active.

III. Quick Activation by Soft Keys

It is possible to assign the Video Input mode to any of the Soft Keys. Press one of the Soft Keys, the Soft Keys functions are shown. Pressing and holding for 1 second one of the Soft Keys, the Soft Keys customization list will be shown. By selecting VIDEO option it will be possible to assign the Soft Key to execute the Video Input function. Once the Soft Key has been assigned to Video Input, its label will show the message [VIDEO]. If [VIDEO] is pressed, the Soft Keys will be assigned this way: [FULL SCREEN], [PIP VIEW], [AUTO SWITCH]. From now on, the functioning is identical to case II.
