4.01 Typical Configuration Examples.
For single camera, single controller installs no additional hardware is required. Simply connect the IRIS595 controller directly to the data
lines of the breakout balun, and run the video from the breakout balun directly into your screen (or chartplotter etc).
If there are multiple NightRunner cameras, controllers or other PTZ cameras on the system, it will become necessary to add a serial
data distributor in order to balance the data and ensure there are no signal reflections that could result in over-runs and poor camera
control. Below is an example of a system with 2 controllers and 4 cameras. An IRISEXP0204 data expander has been used to manage
the data cables, and an IRIS604 Quad Video Switcher has been used to manage the four video feeds.
Systems can be expanded by using Serial Data Expanders to manage the control data and Video Distribution Amplifiers, Video
Switchers or Matrices to manage multiple video feeds. In addition, IP encoders can be added to enable connection over a computer
network so cameras can be viewed and controlled from smart-phones, tablets and computers.
