judged by the original sentences conforming to IEC61162 outputted from JRC radars.
b）Switching recording function is only available when JRC radars are connected.
The radars corresponding to this switching recording function are the current models or newer (JMA-5300,
JMA-9900, JMA-900M). The older models do not correspond.
(2) Performance:
Radar switching recording function supports for connecting two non-JRC radars (refer to 2 and 3 below).
However, for non-JRC radars, we do not recommend using switching recording function because automatic
identification of the working radar is not functional under the normal operation conditions.
For using switching recording function in the case of non-JRC radars, read the following specification for proper
recording of the working radar images.
a) Current JRC radars (JMA-5300, JMA-9900, JMA-900M)

Operation conditions of scanners are monitored by the sentences conforming to IEC61162 outputted from
X-band radars. When the scanner of X-band radar is in operation, the radar image connecting to CH1 will
be recorded. When the scanner of X-band radar is not in operation, the radar image connecting to CH2
will be recorded.
b) Switching SW connection
Recording modes can be selected by connecting the switching SW of the following specification to the dry
contact input (PI_1 and PI_2 of TB406) of Recording Control Unit (RCU).
¾ AUTO mode: Images of CH to which the synchronized signals are outputted are
automatically selected and recorded. If the synchronized signals
are outputted from both CH1 and CH2, CH1 has the priority to be
selected.
22
DOC No. 7ZPJD0387C
1. Specifications
¾ CH1 recording mode: Images of CH1 are forced to be recorded.

If no images are inputted to CH1, the image data will not be recorded.
¾ CH2 recording mode: Images of CH2 are forced to be recorded.

If no images are inputted to CH2, the image data will not be recorded.
PI_1（TB406） PI_ 2（TB406） RADAR Recording Mode

OPEN OPEN AUTO
OPEN CLOSE CH1 record
CLOSE OPEN CH2 record
When in operation by AUTO mode, the objective radar images will be recorded if the power of
nonoperational radar is turned off. If the nonoperational radar is set standby, outputting radar
images is not stopped and therefore, only the X-band radar screen without any echoes will be
recorded.
c) Continuous AUTO mode

When the switching SW is not connected and two radars are connected, images will be recorded
continuously by AUTO mode.

2.2.9. Radar Interface Unit NWP-46
1) Summary of Radar Interface unit (NWP-46)

When VDR is connected with the Radar which has the 1600 x 1200 (UXGA ) screen resolution, VDR requires a
Radar Interface unit.
Since UXGA image data has the very high frequency, an RGB cable is inextensible to VDR.
This problem is solved by changing connection between VDR and Radar into LAN connection by the Radar
Interface unit. Therefore it is necessary to install the Radar Interface unit near the Radar.
2) Radar
At present, although NWP-42 is required only for the time of connecting Chart Radar and VDR, all Radar with
UXGA screen resolution will require it from now on.
3) Components of NWP-46
NWP-46 are composed by “FGB: Frame Grabber Board” (CKA-137) , and AC/DC power supply.
FGB is removed from RCU to NWP-46 when NWP-46 is connected to Radar, although FGB is built in RCU usually.

12.5. Recording Data
Signals of sensors, bridge conversations, VHF communications, and RADAR images are recorded in
chronological order to the final recording medium in the Protective Capsule Unit via the Recording
Control Unit. However, the information on the initial settings of the system configuration is recorded
before the equipment is shipped from a JRC factory or at the time of its installation on the ship.
The Recording Control Unit records such signals with time-stamps at an interval of 0.01 seconds.
12.5.1. Timing of Data Acquisition
When and how such signals are recorded onto the Protective Capsule Unit varies with their types.
1) Data sentences from sensors / devices:

The signals from sensors / devices are recorded onto the Protective Capsule Unit as they are
received.
2) Bridge conversations:
The signals of the conversations in the bridge are pooled, and then recorded at an interval of
1 minute in the form of a data stream (not as a file) onto the Protective Capsule Unit.
3) VHF communications:
The signals of the radio communications are pooled, and then recorded at an interval of 1
minute in the form of a data stream (not as a file) onto the Protective Capsule Unit.
4) RADAR images:
The signals of the RADAR images are pooled, and recorded at an interval of 15 seconds in
the form of a data stream (not as a file) onto the Protective Capsule Unit.
12.5.2. Recording Capacity
Any data stream is recorded to the final recording medium in the Protective Capsule Unit. For
each type of data, the memory area is assigned in the final recording medium and can store up to
12 hours’ recording in the specific format depicted below.
1) Data acquired from sensors or devices
Up to 73 sentences with the maximum number of 82 characters in each sentence. (i.e.

approx. 6400 characters per second)
All AIS data can be recorded by increased storage capacity.
2) Bridge conversation data:
Up to 315 kB in audio data size per minute for each channel (a channel consists of 3
microphones). The maximum number of channels is 3 (i.e., 3 channels accounts for 9
microphones).
3) VHF communication data
Up to 180 kB in a single audio data size per minute for each channel (a channel consists
of 3 VHF radiotelephones).
4) RADAR image data
167
DOC No. 7ZPJD0387C
For a single frame size, up to 300 kB per 15 seconds.
Data are recorded continuously, and when they are overlimited, the old ones are deleted.
12.5.3. Memory Assignment of Each Data Format
The Protective Capsule contains a solid state Flash Memory array, which stores data. The
Protective Capsule Unit receives data from the Recording Control Unit via a TCP/IP-based
network. The received data are then recorded to their corresponding memory areas assigned to
the final recording medium in the Protective Capsule Unit.
The memory areas are assigned for the following data categories.
1) Settings of the system configuration

2) Sensor data in the form of IEC61162-1/2
3) Audio signal data of bridge conversations (ch #1: microphones 1-3)
6) Radio communication data from the VHF radio communication equipment (VHF 1-3)
7) RADAR video data
