Expand Your MFD Capabilities with the Iris Control Interface Box
The Iris Control Interface Box is a compact solution designed to integrate easily with Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) such as Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno. This device sits between your MFD and your IP PTZ camera, allowing you to control the camera directly from the MFD while converting video to high-definition HDMI.
Perfect for smaller vessels like center console boats and fishing boats, the Iris Control Interface Box is compatible with various camera models, ensuring seamless integration. With support for HTML5 platforms including Garmins OneHelm and Raymarine LightHouse Apps, this interface allows for an efficient setup where users can control their cameras with ease.
In addition to HDMI output for direct connection to MFDs, the Iris Control Interface Box converts control data from the IrisControl App to RS485 serial data for PTZ functionality. If your MFD does not support HDMI or direct IP video streams, pairing with an HDMI to IP encoder will enable viewing capabilities.
