1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The OceanBridge is a control unit designed to enable the management of OceanLED lights and third-party lights
through a Multi-Functional Display (MFD) commonly used on marine vessels. Furthermore, it also offers the ability to
manage and control the lighting systems via a Wi-Fi network using various devices such as smartphones, tablets,
laptops, etc.
Compatibility
The OceanLED OceanBridge is compatible with selected MFD units from four main brands: Garmin, Raymarine,
Furuno, and the Navico group (including Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G products). The MFD units must support HTML
app integration and/or NMEA 2000 (N2K) lighting PGNs.
Control Methods
Control of the OceanLED lights can be achieved through multiple methods:
•HTML5 App: Control through an HTML5 app integrated with the MFD unit.
•NMEA 2000 Lighting PGNs: Control via the newly released NMEA 2K lighting PGNs, provided the MFD unit
supports this feature (at the time of writing this document: Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G products only).
•Web Browser Interface: Control through a web-based interface accessible via a Wi-Fi connected device
such as a phone, tablet, or PC.

Supported Lighting Configurations
The OceanLED OceanBridge allows for the configuration of lighting setups, including the setup of zones and
addresses of connected lights via Remote Device Management (RDM). The lighting setup configuration can be
performed through the web-based interface accessible via the Wi-Fi link or the MFD unit.
The OceanBridge supports the following lighting configurations:
•Zone Addressing: Support for up to 10 zones with the following light types:
oFour Channel: RGBW lights
oThree Channel: RGB lights
oTwo Channel: Dual-colour lights
oSingle Channel: Dimmable lights
oSingle Channel: Switchable lights
o2010/3010 Single Colour (legacy OceanLED lights)
oPower Toggle Single (requires OceanConnect JB)
oPower Toggle Dual (requires OceanConnect JB)
DC Switch Lights Support
Basic DC switch lights are supported through an additional DMX-controlled IP66 rated OceanConnect Junction Box.
Please refer to the Appendix for more info.
Audio Support / Integration
The OceanLED MFD Bridge offers support for audio integration. The following audio-related features are included:
•External Audio Input: Support for an external audio (line) input.
•Bluetooth Connectivity: Capability to connect audio devices via Bluetooth.
•Modulation: Ability to modulate the intensity and/or colour of the lights based on an audio source.
•Audio Output: An audio out interface is provided for pass-through of the audio signal or output of the
Bluetooth-connected audio. This interface can be connected to a stereo system or amplifier.
With a zone running in audio mode, the OceanBridge device supports passthrough functionality. This means that
audio signals received through the Audio In connector are passed through to the Audio Out connector. This allows
for seamless audio passthrough without any modifications or processing by the OceanBridge device.

Furthermore, when the OceanBridge device is connected to a Bluetooth audio source, the audio can also be routed
to the Audio Out connector. This means that if the unit is connected to a Bluetooth audio device, users can choose
to listen to the audio output by connecting external audio devices via the Audio Out connector.
Bluetooth Connectivity for Dynamic Audio Mode
The Bluetooth connectivity feature of the OceanBridge device allows for seamless integration with Bluetooth-
enabled audio devices, such as smartphones, tablets, or other compatible devices. This feature enables the
OceanBridge device to synchronize its lighting effects with the audio playing on the connected Bluetooth device,
creating an immersive sound-to-light experience.
Wi-Fi Connection
The OceanBridge Wi-Fi connection supports either of the following modes:
▪Direct Access Point (AP) Mode (default): In this mode, the OceanBridge device acts as an access point itself,
creating its own Wi-Fi network. Users can connect their devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops)
directly to the OceanBridge Wi-Fi network to access its features and functionalities.
▪Client Mode: In this mode, the OceanBridge device functions as a client and can connect to an existing Wi-Fi
network created by a separate router or access point. Users can configure the OceanBridge to connect to their
preferred Wi-Fi network, enabling the device to communicate with other devices on that network.
By supporting both Direct Access Point (AP) mode and Client mode, the OceanBridge device offers flexibility in how
it connects to Wi-Fi networks. Users have the option to either connect directly to the OceanBridge Wi-Fi network or
integrate it into their existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, depending on their specific needs and network setup.
External Switch Control
The OceanBridge device supports up to four external switch inputs, specifically momentary push-to-make type
switches. These switches can be connected to the OceanBridge device to control various functionalities, such as
selecting scenes or controlling the lights.
Key Features:
•External Switch Inputs: The OceanBridge device offers support for up to four external switch inputs,
allowing users to connect momentary push-to-make type switches.
•LED Drive Feedback: The device provides LED drive feedback, enabling compatibility with switches that
have internally illuminated LEDs. This feature ensures that the LEDs on the connected switches function
properly and provide visual feedback.
•Scene Control: The connected external switches can be used to control the lights and select different
scenes. Users can configure the switches to trigger specific lighting configurations or switch between pre-
defined scenes, enhancing the versatility and customization options of the OceanBridge device.

Firmware Upgradability
The OceanBridge device includes USB connectivity, which allows for convenient in-field firmware updates.
•Update from USB Drive: The OceanBridge device supports firmware updates initiated through the
graphical user interface (GUI), such as on your mobile device or MFD. Users can update the device's
firmware by connecting a USB drive containing the updated firmware. Simply insert the USB drive into the
appropriate USB port on the OceanBridge and follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the update
process.
•USB Connection Accessibility: The USB connection is typically accessed through a USB connector with a
removable cap on the device's housing. This design ensures easy access to the USB port when required
for firmware updates. Users can easily remove the cap, connect the USB drive, and proceed with the
firmware update process.
DMX Interfaces
The OceanBridge offers two DMX interfaces which can be configured as:
•Dual Mirror /Output - where both DMX connections are outputs
•DMX Merge (Values takes precedence) –where one DMX connection is used as an input, and the
other as an output. The output DMX values are a ‘merge’ between the incoming DMX from the input
and the OceanBridge generated values. The higher value from either source will be passed to the
output.
•DMX Pass Through –where one DMX connection is used as input and the other as an output. The
DMX signal from the input is passed through the output without modification.
Onboard Test / Reset switch
The OceanBridge device includes on-board Test/Reset switch that provide convenient functionalities for system
testing, resetting, and restoring default settings.
Switch Modes:
•Test Mode: OceanBridge outputs a predefined DMX sequence. This test sequence is specifically designed
to allow users to test the system and observe the behaviour of connected lights or fixtures. By activating the
test mode, users can assess the functioning and connectivity of the system components.
•Reboot: This option enables users to restart the OceanBridge device.
•System/Factory Reset Mode: This option enables users to perform a complete reset, erasing all settings and
configurations stored in the device. By initiating a factory reset, users can start afresh with the device,
eliminating any customized settings or configurations that might have been applied. This action erases all
customized settings and configurations, returning the device to its default state.
Onboard sensors
Gyroscope & Accelerometer Sensor
The OceanBridge device incorporates a gyroscope and accelerometer sensor within its hardware, allowing it to
detect and respond to the vessel's movement. By utilizing the data from these sensors, the device adjusts the
lighting effects to enhance the visual experience. The gyroscope and accelerometer sensor play a crucial role in
creating dynamic lighting effects that synchronize with the vessel's forward/backward movement (pitch) and
left/right movement (roll).
