Description

Iris Interface Box for MFD Integration – IrisControl App for Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad & Furuno (CMAC-INT003A)

The Iris CMAC-INT003A Interface Box is a compact marine integration device designed to connect Iris IP cameras with multifunction displays (MFDs) from leading marine electronics brands including Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, B&G, and Furuno. This interface box enables seamless camera viewing and control directly from your chartplotter using the IrisControl App, improving onboard monitoring and situational awareness. 

Installed inline between the camera and the MFD network, the interface box converts the camera’s IP video stream into high-definition HDMI output, allowing the video feed to be displayed clearly on compatible chartplotters. At the same time, it hosts the HTML5-based IrisControl App, enabling operators to control camera functions directly through their MFD interface. 

The CMAC-INT003A also translates control commands from the MFD into RS485 serial data, allowing full PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) control of compatible Iris cameras. This makes it an ideal solution for boats equipped with security, docking, or situational-awareness cameras, especially on center consoles, fishing boats, RIBs, and other vessels using a single or multiple IP camera systems. 

With plug-and-play installation and support for up to 32 network cameras, the Iris Interface Box provides a flexible and powerful integration solution for modern marine electronics networks. 

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with HTML5-capable MFDs from Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno, allowing for a unified helm experience.

• Touchscreen Camera Control: Enables full PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) functionality directly from your MFD touchscreen, eliminating the need for standalone joysticks or controllers.

• Simplified Integration: The box converts camera signals into a format compatible with your network, providing a “plug-and-play” feel for complex camera setups.

• Multi-Camera Management: Allows you to switch between multiple camera feeds (thermal, engine room, or docking cameras) using the intuitive IrisControl interface on your main display.
