VHF BlackBox CORTEX V1 touchscreen with AIS transponder SOTDMA NMEA2000 WIFI GPS

Hub Cortex M1 features

The Hub Cortex M1 is your boat's brain.

• It predicts collisions with other ships and knows when someone falls overboard.
• It knows when your anchor is slipping and your boat is drifting.
• It tells you that something is wrong, whether you're on board or ashore.
• Connects to your NMEA 2000 network
• Sends data to your smartphone
• 10 Hz GPS antenna keeps track of your position

The Cortex M1 AIS transponder is a versatile Class B SOTDMA AIS transceiver.

It uses the same SOTDMA technology as AIS Class A transponders and therefore has the same priority when it comes to reserving a slot, guaranteeing that it will always be able to transmit, even in high-traffic areas with 5 W transmit power.

Its integrated antenna splitter means you can use a single antenna for both VHF and AIS. In addition, a built-in amplifier improves reception and range.

With this all-in-one Hub, you can configure and monitor the Cortex system and receive alerts on a Wifi-connected smartphone in the Cortex Onboard app, available free of charge oniOS orAndroid. You can receive notifications on your smartphone, tablet or connected watch anywhere on board.

Features of the Cortex H1 corded VHF handset

If the Hub Cortex M1 is the head and brain of the system, while the Cortex H1 wired handset is the arms, legs and rest of the body.

The handset consists of a 4" touchscreen with Reinforced Gorilla Glass screen , it is water and shock resistant. The screen is anti-glare and can be used wet or with gloves.

Shortcut buttons are also present, such as the aSN distress alert in a click, the emergency call on channel 16 or even mOB support which activates the man overboard mode on all connected devices and creates a waypoint to the person in danger.

Visit wired H1 handset connects to a 12V or 24V power supply and connects via wifi to Hub Cortex M1 . You can connect up to 10 handsets to your Hub M1.

Collision, surveillance and MOB

The intelligence of Hub Cortex M1 and the combined Cortex H1 will give you a clear view of your surroundings and help you avoid any kind of danger.

• Collision avoidance :

SmartAIS combines GPS, AIS and heading data with intelligent logic to proactively warn you of collision risks.

Clearly visualize the highest-risk vessels. When using a Cortex handset, smartphone or tablet, perform trial maneuvers to see a simulation of where and when your paths will cross.

• Anchor monitoring :

Sleep peacefully or set off on an expedition knowing that your boat is exactly where you anchored it.

By combining your position and course, Cortex determines whether your anchor is dragging. If your boat moves outside the anchor radius, the alarm is triggered on the Cortex handsets and your smartphone. Receive alerts when you're ashore via the Cortex Monitor app on your smartphoneiOS or Android.

Want to know if water depth, wind speed or direction change while you're at anchor? No problem, the Cortex, connected to your equipment, monitors and alerts you.

• A man overboard:

When Cortex detects an AIS MOB (Man Overboard) activation, it immediately triggers the alarm.

Compatible with all AIS MOBs, you'll see where the MOB was first activated, as well as continuous updates of its position, orientation and range. Get clear information and set the best course.

Identify MOB AIS devices with crew names for better identification.

Pressing the dedicated MOB button activates a tracking mode on all handsets and marks the MOB on MFDs connected to NMEA 2000.

Integrated into your multifunction display

Cortex provides AIS information to all MFDs, including ships, MOBs and virtual AtoNs.

Visualize critical information on the Cortex handset for instant awareness and reaction, while giving your MFD AIS visibility at the helm.

The M1 hub uses received AIS data by sharing it with other devices on board your vessel (chartplotters, laptops, telephones) via NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 and Wi-Fi.

Optional wireless handset

To further enhance your equipment, you can purchase an optional cortex H1P wireless VHF handset. It has the same features as the wired H1 handset, but offers greater freedom of movement thanks to the battery, which provides ~10h of operation.

Upgrade your Cortex M1 and add additional handsets to access key functions in more areas of your boat.

The rechargeable portable handset is battery-powered and recharges on an included 12v or 24v plug-in cradle, so you can connect up to 10 handsets to your Cortex M1.
