MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
Before you install you CMAC unit there are several
installation factors that need to be considered.
CMAC units have connectors on both the front and rear
panels and so space needs to be considered to allow
cables to neatly route into the unit with sufficient strain
relief so that cable and connectors are not put under
stress which could lead to damage.
CMAC uses removable 2.5” HDD drive(s) and access to
the drive(s) is via the front panel. If you need to remove
your drive(s) to review footage then you need to allow
sufficient room to open the drive latch(es) and remove the
drive(s).
TYPICAL SYSTEM EXAMPLE
The system illustrated in the drawing above is a typical
example of a hybrid system, featuring a mix of IP cameras
(in this case, 4 x IRIS-S460 mini IP dome cameras), and an
anlalogue camera (in this case, an IRIS-S295 Dual Payload
thermal imaging / daylight analogue camera. !
Both the front and rear face also feature USB ports so
space needs to be considered to allow access. The USB
socket on the front face is used primarily to connect a
mouse in order to configure the recorder element of
CMAC. It can also be used to copy footage onto a USB
drive. A USB hub can be used if required. The USB port
on the rear of the unit is used to upload files onto CMAC’s
processor board, such as deck plans, photos and firmware
upgrades.
CMAC units feature slotted fixing points in the base for
easy mounting. The unit should also be well ventilated to
prevent over heating and must be installed in a dry, dust
and moisture free environment.!

CONNECTIONS
The diagram on the page opposite (page 8) shows a
typical system example, with four fixed IP cameras and an
IRIS-S295 dual payload analogue thermal / daylight
camera connected to a CMAC-H16 Hybrid system which
in turn connects to a WiFi router to enable view and
control of cameras via a wireless, on board LAN and
control of the system from a Garmin 84xx / 86xx MFD
using the IrisControl™ HTML5 App for OneHelm™.
CMAC also supports USB Touch and HDMI video output,
as do Garmin’s 84xx and 86xx range of MFD’s. The USB
Touch function makes it possible to control PTZ cameras
from Garmin’s full screen video input pages, and the
HDMI input facilitate HD video on the MFD. CMAC and
IrisControl are compatible with Garmin MFD’s that support
OneHelm. If your MFD does not support HDMI video
inputs then the analogue (CVBS) video input can be used.
In this example the four IRIS-S460 IP mini dome cameras
connect to the Camera Network socket of the CMAC via
an IRIS-PoE4 Injector, and the Garmin MFD connects to
the HTML5 Interface connector on CMAC (via Garmin’s
network).
CMAC is supplied with two network connections so your
camera system can be set up and configured separately to
your chart-plotter network. This reduces overall system
latency by keeping the bandwidth heavy video away from
your onboard network traffic.!
ALTERNATE CONNECTIONS
Using CMAC with TE01 Controller /
IRIS580 Keypad
CMAC systems can be supplied without the IrisControl
App host and can be controlled via the IRIS-TE01 Rotary
Touch Encoder and / or the IRIS580 Membrane Keypad.
These alternate methods of control only facilitate specific
functions of the device (such as switching video) and are
not to be considered as fully functional replacements for
the features available in the IrisControl App.
TE01 Rotary Touchscreen Controller
1. USB Touch / Drive Port on Rear of the unit is replaced
with a 6 pin multipole circular connector to connect the
TE01 Cable.
IRIS580 Membrane Switcher Keypad
2. Connect CAT5 cable to HTML/Interface port on rear of
unit.
Please note, Alternate connection models are ordered
specifically and so the internal wiring is changed to
accommodate the specific controller ordered. You can
only use alternate controllers if specifically ordered and
not as standard.!

IRIS CONTROL APP
IrisControl™ is a management, command and control
interface designed for HTML5 third party MFD integrator
platforms such as Garmin’s OneHelm™ programme. It
enables the user to switch, control and manage on board
cameras, alarms, preset memory positions and much more
via a slick user interface which runs on your MFD.
The App is hosted on compatible versions of our CMAC
system. When compatible CMAC units are connected to
the MFD’s network, a handshaking routine occurs and the
MFD provides a gateway to the application.
GARMIN ONEHELM™
IrisControl™ has been designed to work in a horizontal
split Combination screen in order to make the most of
Garmin’s MFD functionality. The upper portion of the
horizontal split screen should be set as a video input
screen (HDMI on 84xx and 86xx models and composite
video on other models), and the lower portion should be
set as a OneHelm™ window.
Once the horizontal combination screen has been
configured it needs to be re-sized to achieve the optimum
aspect ratio to display the App. Drag the arrows on the
dividing line between the upper and lower screen
segment and then drag downwards as far as allowed to
resize the panels. The IrisControl™ interface has been
designed to fit perfectly to these dimensions and will scale
according to the size of your MFD screen.!
With your IrisControl™ combination page set, you can
now access the App at the touch of the button. When you
launch IrisControl™ the video output from CMAC is
automatically displayed in the top portion of the screen
and the control panel is displayed in the lower portion.
Iris control can be configured to launch into the camera
control page, ideal for systems which include controllable
(PTZ) cameras, or the camera selection page, ideal for
larger systems with multiple cameras or for systems which
feature fixed cameras only and therefore camera controls
are not required. This option can be configured in the
system setup page detailed below.
CAMERA CONTROL WINDOW (MAIN)

DIGITAL RECORDER CONTROL PANEL
Mimics the controls of the integrated NVR:!
NOTES ON RECORDER CONTROLS /
OPERATION
The Digital Recorder control panel within CMAC mimics
the front panel operation of a hardware DVR / NVR.
Navigating set-up menus is achieved by using the Up
Down Left Right controls (8) to work your way through the
menu trees, the iris controls (6 & 17) to increase and
decrease selected values and the enter button (15) to
confirm your selection.
USING THE NVR TO CONTROL IP PTZ
CAMERAS
IP PTZ Cameras can be controlled from the DVR Control
Panel page. Like a hardware recorder however, Pan & Tilt
control is limited to transmit Up, Down, Left and Right
controls independently. It is not possible to pan and tilt
simultaneously.
For optimum control we recommend using the RS485
serial data control interface to Iris PTZ cameras. Iris
Sentinel cameras support IP and RS485 connections so
the video stream can be transmitted via your IP network
whilst serial control from CMAC is transmitted across an
RS485 data network. !

DEVICE SETUP
Upload deck plans and photos to use as graphically
representative backgrounds onto which you can place
device (camera, alarm) and automation icons.
UPLOAD DECK PLAN / PHOTO PROCESS
1) Plug USB Drive into USB/Touch Port
2) In Setup Mode Select Device Setup
3) Select Upload Plan / Photo Icon
4) The App will then read the USB drive and display
available files.
5) Select Desired Plan / Photo from List !
NOTES ON DEVICE SETUP
UPLOAD DECK PLANS / PHOTOS
The system defaults to show a generic boat shape deck
plan as shown in the previous column.
You can customise deck plans by uploading your own
artwork or photos and then position your camera, alarm
and automation icons onto the images. Many leading boat
manufacturers feature deck plans on their websites, or you
can request specific deck plans from your boat builder.
As well as deck plans, photos can be uploaded. A great
example of use here is to upload a photo of your engine
room and then place Automation icons over specific areas
of the photo such as indicators or dials, and configure
these to link to Preset positions from PTZ cameras. For
example, if you have an IRIS106 PTZ camera in your
engine room you can set Presets to zoom into indicators.
Then by placing an Automation icon over the area you can
trigger the camera to spin round and zoom in on the
indicator at the touch of a button. Similarly for larger
vessels, you can configure automation icons to send
multiple cameras to specific preset positions so that by
touching the ‘Port Side’ Automation icon for example,
cameras will automatically spin around to cover the port
side (during docking for example).

IRIS CONTROL FEATURE GUIDE
MAIN CAMERA CONTROL PANEL FEATURES:
Thermal Camera Palette Select:
Iris thermal cameras support multiple colour palettes used
to highlight differences in temperatures under different
conditions. Use this control to toggle through the
available colour palettes.
ICE Controls:
Iris thermal cameras feature an Image Contrast
Enhancement feature referred to as ICE. This features
accentuates object edges and has seven levels of
intensity.
N.U.C Control:
Fires the Non Uniformity Correction (N.U.C) filter on
thermal models to perform a live recalibration of the
cameras sensor which sharpens the image in situations
where there is low thermal contrast.
Gyro Toggle:
Operates / Disables gyroscope function on supported
cameras.
Trim Controls:
Trim camera up or down as required during gyro
operation.
Home Button:
Send your camera to its pre-defined home position at the
touch of a button.
Absolute Referencing Mode:
In Absolute Referencing Mode the virtual joystick graphic
changes to a compass style indicator, with the bow of the
boat at the 0˚ (straight up) position. Now you can send the
camera to a specific position instantly by just touching the
corresponding place on the dial of the indicator, or you
can pan your camera by dragging your finger around the
dial rather than by moving the joystick. This feature is
extremely useful for moving the camera quickly to a
specific point (in a man overboard situation for example)
and then for panning the camera in relation to the boat.
Auto Focus Toggle:
Toggles between Auto and Manual focus controls on
supported cameras.
Auto Zoom Out Button:
Zoom out to full extent on supported cameras.
Presets:
Iris PTZ cameras support multiple user definable preset
memory positions. Once you have stored a preset position
you can ‘Call’ the preset, which automatically sends the
camera to the stored position. Use this control to toggle
through to the desired preset and then Call the preset.
Infra Red LED On/Off:
Toggles automatic Infra Red LED operation on supported
PTZ cameras
Day / Night Mode:
Switches between Daylight Camera and Thermal Camera
on dual payload PTZ cameras.
A.I.S Tracking Button:
Opens AIS Tracking feature panel.

SECONDARY CAMERA CONTROL PAGE FEATURES:
Auto Scan Controls:
The AutoScan feature allows you to define a start point
and a stop point and then continually scan between the
two (camera chooses direct route between the two
positions) at the touch of a button.
Pattern Scan Feature:
There are four pattern scans available. A pattern scan
allows you to define a start position and then ‘record’ the
movement of the camera until you define the stop
position. Then on activation, the camera will ‘play back’
through the user defined pattern, thus providing a patrol
feature. Good for security applications.
Lock Button:
Press the Lock button to prevent scans from being
accidentally suspended by an inadvertent control press.!

RECORDER
CMAC features a high definition digital video recorder
module with integrated video web server to facilitate
remote connection on a LAN or WAN.
Aspects of the video recorder, including IP camera
addressing needs to be configured independently and
cannot be accessed with the IrisControl App. To configure
the recorder you will need to use a USB mouse (supplied)
and connect this to the USB socket on the front face of
your CMAC unit.
INITIAL SETUP:
1. Power up your system. When the system has
initialised you will be presented with a blank split
screen image. Right click the mouse button and a
drop down menu appears. Click on the Main Menu
option and you will be presented with the Log In box.
The default user name is admin and the default
password is either left blank or set to Password1234
2. Once you have logged in you will be presented with the
Main Setup Menu as shown below. To set the device
network address, clic k on the NETWORK window:!
3. Configure your Network Settings as required. Unless

IRISCONTROL -
UPGRADING FIRMWARE
As new features are rolled into our IrisControl App, and as
any bugs that may be present are fixed, we will issue
firmware upgrades free of charge.
The upgrades will be added to the IrisControl page on our
website: www.boat-cameras.com/iris-control
We have tried to make the upgrade procedure as easy as
possible. The process for upgrading is as follows:
1. Download the latest firmware from our website and
copy to the route directory of a USB drive. Do not
rename the file.
2. Go to the SETUP page and you will see the current
software revision displayed in the bottom left hand
corner of the panel (see below). Take a note of this
version number.
3. Connect your USB drive to the USB socket on the
rear panel of your CMAC labelled TOUCH/DRIVE.
4. The IrisControl software will automatically detect the
drive and look for a valid update file. If the file is
found it will automatically upgrade your IrisControl
software.
5. After approximately 30 seconds, the upgrade will be
complete. The firmware version number in the
bottom left hand corner of the SETUP page should
change to reflect the new firmware version number.
6. Once the new version number is displayed, your
system is updated and you can remove the USB drive
safely.!

CMAC INTERFACE BOX
CMAC is available as as ‘interface only’, without the built
in recorder module. The CMAC interface box is designed
to host the IrisControl App so you can control and switch
your cameras from your chart plotter.
Connection details for CMAC-INT-001 Models
To install the CMAC-INT box, lift the flaps at either end of
the enclosure lid to reveal fixing positions.
Ensure sufficient distance is allowed to neatly dress in the
cables to the box, making room for a suitable cable bite
so as not to put stress on the connectors.
