Description
Maretron’s third generation Black Box (MBB300C) is a dedicated processing unit that includes Maretron’s N2KView vessel monitoring and control software. Unlike a PC that allows any software to be loaded the MBB300C runs only N2KView software making it extremely stable and dedicated to monitoring and controlling your vessel.
The MBB300C is ruggedized for marine use and includes a solid state disk drive to withstand the pounding associated with waves. And since the MBB300C dissipates less than 10 watts there is no need for internal cooling fans that are noisy and wear out causing electronics to overheat and fail.
The MBB300C connects to a monitor through a VGA connector or an HDMI connector while the associated touch screen connects through a USB or serial port. Alternatives to controlling the N2KView software through a touch screen include keyboards mice or track balls connected through USB. In addition to the two completely isolated CAN bus connectors for simple connection to single or redundant NMEA 2000 networks the MBB300C has an Ethernet port for connecting Internet Protocol (IP) cameras for viewing video within the N2KView software.
Of course you get the same flexibility using Maretron’s N2KView software from the MBB300C as you would running the software on a PC which includes the ability to configure as many screens as you want with exactly the information you want to see. Plus you get free upgrades to the software as improvements and new features are added.

Maretron DSM410 Display
Maretron’s DSM410 is a 4.1” high-resolution sunlight viewable colour display that interprets and displays NMEA 2000® instrument, navigation, and vessel monitoring data. The DSM410 is a user friendly dedicated marine display with custom screen configurations and an easy-to-use five-key illuminated keypad. In addition to the monitoring and display capabilities, the DSM410 features an alert/alarm package and electrical switching capability. Unlike traditional single-display units, DSM410 users can choose numeric, gauge, bar or graph formats in single or multiple displays, with cycling options possible for a wide range of favourite data. These multiple display options conserve mounting space and reduce overall system cost. The DSM410 will directly connect with any NMEA 2000® network and with the exception of AIS data will display any or all information captured throughout the vessel. Various audio and visual alarms are also programmable. The DSM410 displays a multitude of information including AC power, anchor status, battery, depth, electrical distribution, engine, environment, fuel management, GPS, heading, navigation, pressure/vacuum, rudder, speed, status indicators, tanks, temperature, time, transmission, water makers, weather, wind and more.
