The Voyage Recorder offers comprehensive data storage capabilities for all aspects of your voyages, ensuring you never miss memorable moments and providing valuable insights for analysis and future voyages. Here's how it can benefit your maritime endeavors:
Data Collection: The recorder captures GPS tracks, wind, depth, temperature, AIS, and other critical data flowing through the network backbone during your voyages, providing a detailed record of your sailing conditions.
Expanded Capabilities: The latest model, YDVR-04, introduces an audio input feature, enabling the recording of audio from VHF line outs or microphone amplifier outputs. Audio data are stored in standard .WAV files for universal compatibility.
Comprehensive Software: The included YDVR Converter software facilitates the generation of GPX and CSV files containing detailed information about sailing conditions, weather, depth, engine performance, and nearby vessels with AIS. These files can be viewed in various applications and loaded into compatible chartplotters.
Audio Integration: Recorded data files contain internal links to audio files, allowing users to correlate audio recordings with specific geographical points on the track, providing a comprehensive reconstruction of your sailing experience.
Flexible Microphone Integration: Users can connect a microphone to the recorder's input and use audio recording as a "voice logbook," with recordings linked to time and location.
Data Conversion: The PC software can convert Voyage Recorder data to OpenSkipper, CanBoat, and Signal K formats, enabling marine electronics specialists to diagnose NMEA 2000 problems and replay recordings for analysis.
Logbook Generation: With just a few clicks, users can create multi-page, editable, and printable logbooks of their voyages, complete with customizable templates and detailed information.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: The software runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms, offering flexibility and accessibility to users across different operating systems.
Automatic Management: The recorder requires no configuration and features automatic deletion of old data to prevent storage issues. With an average storage requirement of 1000-2000 bytes per second of recording, a 16 GB card can typically store data for 100-200 days of sailing.
Versatile Networking: The recorder can play recorded messages to a physical CAN network, making it a valuable tool for developers to demonstrate, test, and emulate equipment across various networks, including NMEA 2000 and J1939.
In summary, the Voyage Recorder serves as a reliable and versatile tool for capturing and analyzing data from your voyages, offering extensive features, compatibility, and ease of use to enhance your maritime experiences.
