The purpose of this section is to familiarize you with important SkyView system information and
concepts including the following:
SkyView units cannot / should not be mixed
9-pin D9F and D9M Connectors are SkyView Network (not RS-232 Serial)
Operating specifications
SkyView systems
When SkyView components are used together, they are referred to as a SkyView system. This
section also explains what a SkyView system is and how to build one.
SkyView units cannot / should not be mixed
For planning your SkyView system, or upgrades, Dynon Avionics recommends planning / budgeting
for installing the same “family” of SkyView displays, not to “mix” displays from different SkyView
families.
SkyView SE displays cannot interoperate in a SkyView system that includes SkyView Classic or
SkyView HDX displays. For example, if you plan to use a SkyView SE display, your SkyView system
should only use SkyView SV-D600 or SkyView SV-900 displays.
SkyView HDX product line will eventually add features and products that are not compatible with
SkyView Classic. Thus, Dynon Avionics does not recommend depending on “mixing and match”
SkyView Classic and SkyView HDX displays in the same SkyView system. A future version of SkyView
Software will remove the ability to interoperate between SkyView Classic and SkyView HDX.
For planning your panel for the first time, or planning to upgrade displays, the displays should be
“all SkyView Classic” or “all SkyView HDX” displays.
