HDMI Video Considerations
NOTICE
To prevent corrosion due to moisture, you must use
Garmin GPSMAP
®
accessory cables when connecting
the chartplotter to the video source or display. Do not
connect a media player stick directly into the back of the
chartplotter. Using different cables or connecting a media
player stick into the back of the chartplotter voids your
warranty.
These chartplotter models allow video input from HDMI
video sources, such as a Chromecast
™
device. You can
view protected HDMI content (HDCP content) on the MFD
chartplotter screen, but not on an external screen. You
cannot view any HDCP content on a screen connected to
the GPSMAP 8700 black box. Check the video source's
manual to verify that HDCP can be turned off for the
source.
HDMI video is shared across the Garmin Marine Network,
but it is not shared across the NMEA 2000 network. HDCP
content is not shared across the Garmin Marine Network.
Through the HDMI OUT port, you can display the
chartplotter on an external screen, such as a television
or monitor. You cannot view HDCP content on an external
screen.
The Garmin GPSMAP HDMI accessory cable is 4.5 m
(15 ft) long. If you need a longer cable, you should use
an active HDMI cable only. You need an HDMI coupler to
connect the two HDMI cables.
You need a Garmin GPSMAP USB OTG adapter cable to
power a media player stick. The USB port can supply up
to 2.5 W to power a media player stick.
You must make all cable connections in a dry
environment.
