Kortrijk, Belgium, 29 April 2010 – Barco, specialist in display and visualization solutions for selected professional markets, announces that its thin lightweight (TL) display series qualifies for ECDIS compliance (in accordance with IEC 61174). The high-quality TL series can be used to display electronic navigation charts as part of an ECDIS system. This greatly broadens the effectiveness of Barco's special range of visualization solutions for military applications with critical space and weight requirements.
An Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is a computer-based navigation information system that complies with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations.
