tion link with the vehicle.

Video/Audio Signals
Board Monitor (Top Navigation)
The RGB video signal for all display functions of the board monitor are produced by the
navigation computer graphics stage via three output signals. The Red-Green-Blue signals
are direct inputs to the board monitor. The audio signals for navigation instructions to the
radio are sent via two separate lines.
MIR (Radio Navigation)
Since a color display is not used for the MIR, the navigation information for the display is
sent via a NAV bus. The NAV bus is a single dedicated line between the Mk-3 computer
and the MIR. Audio signals for navigation instructions are sent to the radio via two
separate lines.
