hi youtubers jeff cote here

with another session of ask pys so we've

got a question from a fellow voter

scott scott asking a question with

regards to

and here goes i've got a garmin 4012

and a 720s so those are two garmin chart

plotters

one the garmin 4012 is basically

a 12 inch non-touch and the 720

is a touch version of a garmin chart

plotter they're mfds

which stands for mfd multi-functional

display

and so here this owner has two char

plotters

and he asks the 720s which means sounder

s is for sounder does not have a garmin

marine network port can i pass garmin

radar data for map overlay from my 720

to my 4012

via enemy 2000

this question get this question all the

time

this this happens more than every day

this happens

every couple hours i get an email with

this question so this is a great

question scott

um enemy 2000 is really it's

it's basically low data throughput i

mean it's it's sort of like

maybe the version of bluetooth you know

when you think about your home

you can't really stream video over

bluetooth i get that question asked me

all the time as well

they're like oh can i stream bluetooth

and i'm going to send video over

bluetooth

you can't bluetooth is basically for

streaming music

yes but not great music right the

quality is not as good

and enemy 2000 is the same it's going to

be sharing data

so what's data on your boat well data

could be you know the depth

speed on ground it could be ais

information other boat information

speed wind it could be

water temp it's just data it's not a

stream of content and when you think

about

video or radar that's a lot of

information

and so video signals are always sent

over ethernet cables

or wi-fi which is high data throughput

and enemy a2000 is really for

low data throughput and that's just for

like it could be engine data

it could be um so sometimes we're

digitizing even cooler stuff like

some people are digitizing all their

sensors on their boat they're actually

we've done that on bigger boats where

temp everything on the engine like the

exhaust temperatures being

digitized and sent over enemy 2000 you

can do the coolant temperature you can

an oral pressure

all of that is data it's not that much

information and that can be sent over

any may 2000

but if you're sharing for example sonar

and or if you're

sharing a radar you're going to have to

do that over with video and that means

that you absolutely need an ethernet

port

on the back of your display to share a

radar between a 4012

and a 720s
