Cambridge Pixel has announced the HPx-346, a compact, low power (less than 5 Watts), standalone primary radar input and network distribution card. The card is designed to convert analogue radar signals into a standard open network data stream such as ASTERIX CAT-240. The card provides a cost-effective way of importing analogue radar data into a modern display.

David Johnson, CEO, Cambridge Pixel, said: “We have seen a number of applications that require a compact, low power, standalone unit capable of converting radar signals into network data. For example, the HPx-346 would enable existing radars on a ship or commercial boat to be accessible in an ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) display.
