New CF80 Onboard PC From Digital Yacht

Digital Yacht, the Bristol-based manufacturer of marine PCs, has introduced a new model called the CF80.  The system measures just 28 x 19 x 17cm yet boasts one of the latest Intel dual core processors and ruggedized, anti-vibration shock-proofed 100Gb hard drive.  It is optimised for running the latest demanding marine charting applications, such as 3D bathymetric views and aerial overlays.  It has also been engineered for low power consumption and can be powered directly from the ship’s 12V DC power supply with no requirement for a separate inverter.

Digital Yacht can supply either Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems and the CF80 is supplied with 5 NMEA ports for interfacing with other onboard electronics such as GPS, instruments, AIS or radar.  It also has 4 USB connections for devices like digital cameras, iPods or mobile phones, and a standard VGA type output for the display.

Power consumption is typically between 2 and 3 amps, even when running a demanding application, and the system can be delivered with Digital Yachts’ patented solid state hard drive technology if required.
A remote panel will shortly be launched, allowing the PC to be hidden away in a locker with a remote panel, providing a CD drive, on/off switch and remote USB connections.  The standard system is priced competitively at £799.00 including VAT, and is available immediately from Digital Yacht.
