Advantage TZ Marine
Computer
The Advantage TimeZero computer has Intel core I5
processors and a video card with 512MB of video RAM. This Nobeltec and
MaxSea recommended card optimizes graphic intensive programs such as
Nobeltec Trident and MaxSea TimeZero. This is the only high performance,
fanless marine computer capable of running commercial versions of MaxSea
such as TimeZero Plot.
Discrete
video cards enhance the video performance of the computer
considerably compared to integrated video. These video boards are separate
from the motherboard. They have their own specialized graphics processing
unit commonly called a GPU and dedicated video memory called VRAM.
Graphics memory is used by the GPU to accelerate the graphics on your
monitor and make Nobeltec and MaxSea run better. These specialized video
cards do not share the computer’s CPU and memory with other programs, so
everything runs faster.
All
of AR Engineering's computers feature SeaSafe
marinization, a hardening process that consists of vibration dampening,
and a corrosion control process using VCI’s (vapor corrosion inhibitors)
and conformal circuit board coating.
This
fanless design takes corrosion control one-step further by limiting the
airflow through the unit. The un-circulated air is warmed by the internal
components, resulting in a very dry environment, regardless of outside
humidity.
This
very quiet design eliminates failures from fans, and from the buildup of
internal moisture and dust, resulting in an extremely reliable marine
computer.
Utilizing 32nm Intel® Core i5
processor, the Advantage TZ features Intel® Turbo Boost and
Hyper-Threading technologies, 4GB of RAM, as well as the 512Mb video card.
This card has VGA, DVI-I, and HDMI outputs. (Only two at once)
The
64Gb SATA II Solid State Hard Drive has no moving parts and a very small
power requirement, resulting in less heat and best reliability. It is the
best option for shock and vibration resistance. A 2nd optional SSD can be
configured as a mirror of the 1st solid-state drive for added
reliability and automatic backup. (RAID 0)
In addition to its sturdy aluminum
case, the Advantage TZ provides a wide variety of connectivity, including
two GbE Ethernet ports, 5 COM ports (1 internal), 6 USB, 2x SATAII, 2x
eSATA, 3x 1394b, and audio interfaces. It operates on 9-30VDC. An AC
adapter is also available.
