Cambridge Pixel’s C# .NET-based Maritime Display Framework software development package allows users to create custom Windows-based ARPA, ECDIS and Integrated Bridge GUIs for the display of primary and secondary data and video. Developers can use the software’s default configuration, or extend and enhance the framework for custom configurations.
User-created GUIs can be programmed to display scan-converted primary radar video, video track information, electronic charts, secondary transponder information, and camera video. Multiple camera windows with various input formats are supported, including H.264 via RTSP stream. Track information can be imported from the SPx Server radar video processing solution, as well as AIS reports.
The software provides a range of information processing tools commonly required for maritime displays, such as generation of predictive vectors, calculation of a tracked object’s closest point of approach (CPA), and time to CPA (TCPA), providing warning of collision with other vessels. A comprehensive range of alarms can be built into displays, including target track alarm type and target dependence (such as hazardous cargo status provided in AIS).
