Colour calibration for ECDIS
IN-HOUSE TECHNOLOGIES
All units verified
We calibrate and verify every single one. No exceptions.
Colour tables stored in monitor's flash memory
For effortless integration with the ECDIS computer.
Proprietary method
We've made colour calibration an integrated part of our manufacturing.
40+ years of maritime experience
Everything we do is rooted in end-user insights.
The importance of colour precision
The colours on nautical charts are of vital importance to navigators. Colours make elements distinguishable and carry information about depths, direction lights, submerged pipelines, and many other safety-critical factors.
With electronic chart tables increasingly replacing paper charts, it's crucial they present colours accurately. If not, navigators run the risk of misreading the chart due to deviations across lighting conditions.
Why colour calibrate?
- Colour precision is vital to navigators’ understanding of the surroundings.
- It is a prerequiste for ECDIS monitors (IHO).
- Colour-calibrated displays offer optimal readability at all times, during the day, at dusk, and at night.
- Mariners commonly swap between paper charts and ECDIS monitors.
An integrated part of our production process
Hatteland Technology has developed a tried and tested process for colour calibration. It meets all the requirements for type approval, and is one of the most convenient installation-/configuration processes on the market.
Our production line is equipped with the full range of facilities to both calibrate and verify our monitors in preparation for ECDIS integration.
Made in Norway
Your technology partner
Having manufactured marine displays for several decades, colour calibration for ECDIS is second nature to Hatteland Technology. It is an integrated part of our manufacturing process.
Below, a few pics from our production facilities in Aksdal, Norway.
We verify every single unit
One might assume two identically manufactured monitors will present colours equivalently, but that is not the case. No two displays behave exactly the same out of the box — even if they’re of the same batch.
To address these deviations, Hatteland Technology calibrate and verify every single unit. We ship all our ECDIS monitors with unique colour-correction values embedded, so that the ECDIS computer can call on a reliable reference when presenting colour-sensitive information.
