Optional Wired Remote Controls
The stereo can be controlled by compatible FUSION wired remote controls
installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel. Operating the
entertainment system from the remote control is similar to operating it from
the main stereo.
The wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 network. All
remote controls connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can
control the stereo.
The remote control can also serve as an NMEA® display showing NMEA navigation
data or vessel performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA
2000 network.
FUSION-Link
FUSION-Link technology allows you to fully control compatible FUSION entertainment systems on compatible multi-function displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation station of the vessel. This provides you with integrated entertainment control and a less cluttered console.
The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on which all audio on the vessel is controlled, no matter where on the vessel the stereo is installed. The FUSION-Link equipped stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an issue and users need to access the stereo only to replace removable media. FUSION-Link technology offered on this device operates over existing industry-standard NMEA 2000 networks.
For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies that are partnering with FUSION, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.Audio Control with NMEA 2000NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within vessels. It has become the standard for sending navigation and engine management data within vessels. FUSION introduces an industry-first product by incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of available NMEA sentences.
