Scandinavian Micro Systems - Advanced Navigation Instruments and Passenger Information Systems

For over 25 years Scandinavian Micro Systems has enjoyed the reputation of a leading provider of advanced navigation instruments and passenger information systems for the maritime industry. The company is based in Kolbotn, Oslo (Norway), with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (USA), London (UK), and Hyderabad (India).

SCANDISPLAY INFORMATION SYSTEMS

ScanDisplay® passenger information systems with interesting up-to-date information displayed on the ship's television system, large screen displays and as interactive solutions are installed on over 60 cruise vessels. Additionally, a new range of ScanDisplay web-based solutions are now available for both onboard and onshore applications: CruiseMonitor™, Voyage Channel™, FleetMonitor™ and FleetPlanner™.

SCANDISPLAY ONBOARD: PASSENGER INFORMATION SYSTEMS

With ScanDisplay CruiseMonitor and Voyage Channel you can display topographic maps detailing the ship's itinerary and position:

• Report from the Bridge: navigation details
• Safety & Secure: safety information and procedures
• Know Your Ship: ship amenities and onboard information
• Know the Officers: presentations from onboard staff
• Port of Call Presentation: profiles of the ship's destinations in graphic presentation or MPEG formats

This information can be delivered via the onboard television system or direct to large plasma screens and video walls. The presentations can also be accessed via web-based interactive television systems and/or kiosks.

SCANDISPLAY ONSHORE: FLEETPLANNER, CRUISEPLANNER AND FLEETMONITOR

ScanDisplay FleetPlanner is Scandinavian Micro Systems' new planning and simulation tool for Ship Operation Executives. With FleetPlanner you can quickly and easily construct new itineraries, calculate distances, and simulate speed, ETA/ETD, fuel consumption, fresh-water consumption, and various other factors.

CruisePlanner™ is a smaller version of FleetPlanner for use onboard individual ships and will normally be part of a ScanDisplay installation.

ScanDisplay FleetMonitor can read information from the onboard ScanDisplay system on each ship and give you an up to date fleet overview including information on ship positions, itineraries, distance to next port, ETA and ETD. FleetMonitor is a web-based product and can be accessed from any PC connected to the LAN.

SCANDISPLAY - PROJECTS

ScanDisplay interactive systems and web-based solutions are fully IP based and can be set up for use with interactive television systems and kiosk applications. We have a team of software engineers and graphic designers available for custom integration and special projects.

SCANREPEATER NAVIGATION INSTRUMENTS

ScanRepeater™ navigation instruments are for use in ship navigation and naval control systems. We offer interface solutions based on long experience and our world-renowned digital gyro repeaters: LR22, LR40 and LR60 (also known as Lehmkuhl Repeater). Over 15,000 of our ScanRepeater digital gyro repeaters are installed worldwide.

SR01-XX: DIGITAL GYRO REPEATER: LR40, LR60, LR61

Our digital gyro repeaters are used by both naval and commercial ships and over 15,000 units are installed worldwide. Current models are LR40 (for step signals and 360X synchro signals), LR60 (for 1X, 36X and 90X synchro signals) and LR61 (dual input digital gyro repeater and compass compare unit). All ScanRepeater units provide NMEA output data suitable for interfacing to radars and AIS devices.

SR02-XX: OPTICAL BEARING DEVICE (OBD)

With the ScanRepeater Optical Bearing Device (OBD) you can make fast and accurate optical bearing observations - both true and relative. The resulting relative and true bearing observations are transmitted to other navigation equipment as serial data (NMEA output). Typical applications include naval and fast commercial vessels. The SR02-xx can be mounted under the deck or on a pedestal.

SR03-XX: NMEA TO SYNCHRO CONVERTERS

Used in both naval and commercial applications, these units drive a number of mechanical synchro repeaters and/or control transformers. Serial data input signals are converted to synchro signals for 1X, 2X, 36X, 90X, 360X – 50/60Hz, 400Hz and 500Hz operation. Accuracy is better than +/-0.1°.

Serial data input signals can be NMEA, Simrad Binary format and various other serial data protocols.

SR04-XX: 3-AXIS COURSE AND FINE SYNCHRO CONVERTERS

Used primarily in naval applications, these units convert serial input data and produce 400Hz synchro signals with 1X and 36X roll, pitch and heading information.
