1.01 Introduction
IRIS 116, 117 and 118 cameras have been especially designed
for practical and extreme operating environments such as
marine, military and emergency service vehicles.
In addition to itʼs remarkably compact and sleek design, the PTZ
is water-resistant and has anti-vibration and anti-corrosion
properties.
1.02 Features
Some of the key features of the 116 series device are as follows:
• Sleek, compact housing measuring only 16cm high
• Extremely simple installation
• High Speed Pan and Tilt movement
• Continuous 360˚ Pan Rotation
• Auto-Flip Tilt Feature
•Proportional Pan and Tilt Speed in accordance with
Zoom level
•Auto Focus
•100 User Definable Preset Positions
• Extremely Sensitive Image Processing for Low Light
Operation.
Day/Night Function
The PTZ-16 features a true mechanical Day / Night filter that
switches the camera from colour to monochrome in low light
conditions for added clarity. The camera can produce clear
pictures even in extremely low-light conditions, as low as 0.01
Lux.
Proportional Speed Control
Proportional pan automatically reduces or increases the pan and
tilt speeds in proportion to the degree of zoom. When zoomed in
(telephoto) the pan and tilt speeds will be significantly slower for
a given amount of joystick movement than at wide zoom
position. This prevents the image from moving too fast on the
monitor when zoomed in.
Lens Control (Auto Focus)
Users can adjust zoom wide and zoom telephoto to a ratio of
either 28 times or 36 times zoom (depending on the model).
Focus is set to auto-focus as standard. Autofocus can be
overridden with certain control interfaces. Similarly, the camera
Iris defaults to automatically but can be overridden with certain
control interfaces.
The following factors may affect autofocus operation:
• Target not central within field of view
• Multiple targets are near and far simultaneously in the
field of view.
•Target object extremely bright, causing lens flare.
•Target moving too fast.
•Target is too dark or too vague.
User Presets (Save / Call)
The PTZ-16 has the facility to learn 100 positions (including
zoom and focus values). Users can then send the camera
automatically to a position by simply selecting the desired preset
position number, or by hitting a dedicated key. Please note,
presets are not available on the KBD-16 v1.
Auto White Balance
The camera automatically adjusts white balance (WB) according
to the amount of background light to provide a true colour
representation of the field of view.
Back Light Compensation (BLC)
If the field of view has a bright background the target subject
may appear dark or as a silhouette as the iris struggles with the
variance of light. Backlight compensation enhances the target
objects in the center of the picture. The camera processor uses
the center of the picture as a focal point from which to adjust the
iris.
Auto Cruise
The camera has the facility to store 39 preset positions into a
ʻcruise listʼ which when actioned will cycle through each position
in the list.
Tours and Scans
The camera has four built in, user definable Tours that allow the
user to set 10 positions per-tour and trigger the camera to
automatically step between each position in sequence with a
pre-determined dwell time between each position.
4 automatic Scan modes are also provided, each with a slow
medium or fast speed level.

2.01 Warnings & Important Product Information
WARNING: Installation and Operation
This product must be installed and operated in accordance with
these instructions. Failure to do so may result in poor product
performance, damage to the product or vessel and or personal
injury. Installation should only be carried out be qualified
personnel or by persons competent in electrical systems.
WARNING: Power Supply and Grounding
Ensure the boats power supply is switched off during
installation. Ensure suitably rated circuit breakers / fuses are
used in the installation of the product in accordance with the
electrical values shown in the technical specifications of the
product. Never switch on power until the power connections are
correctly terminated in accordance with the information provided
in this document. Do not connect or disconnect the product with
the power supply switched on. Never disconnect the DC ground
with the power supply on.
WARNING: Wiring terminations
Where the products video, power and data terminations are
extended, ensure that suitable connectors are used and that the
point of termination for each cable is adequately protected
against moisture ingress. Ensure correct polarity is strictly
observed. Do not cut or remove cable connectors without prior
permission from Iris Innovations Limited.
WARNING: Do Not Open the Unit
There are no user serviceable parts within the product so there s
no need to open the device other than temporarily removing the
Camera Address DIP Switch window whilst setting addresses.
Ensure the DIP switch window is correctly replaced and that the
rubber seal is not lost, pinched or damaged. The product has
been certified to IP66 standards, however, submersion or the
product or exposure to high pressure washing will invalidate the
warranty.
WARNING: Disclaimer
This product is intended to be used only as an aid to navigation
and must never be used as an alternative to correct navigational
practices and judgements made on the basis of approved
navigation methods. It is the users responsibility to observe
correct and proper navigational skill when using this product.
Only officially approved charts and notices to mariners contain
the current information required for safe navigation.
Operating the camera or viewing the video input whilst the

3.01 Examples of Typical Systems
A basic configuration will consist of a single camera, a camera
controller and a viewing medium (either a dedicated video
monitor or a multi-functional display (MFD)). The video feed
from the camera is routed directly into the MFD, and the control
data from the joystick is sent directly to the camera.
Systems become more complicated where there are multiple
cameras, monitors and/or controllers and where more complex
video and data transmission methods are employed such as
wireless or Internet Protocol (IP) conversions. The diagrams
below detail a number of different connection configurations.
In theory it is possible to have up to 255 controllable devices in a
system (cameras or controllers) and unlimited fixed cameras,
but this is obviously dependent on the video switching
equipment installed, the camera control data management and/
or the vessels on board LAN - and of coarse the size of the
vessel!
The key issue when installing multiple controllable cameras is
that they have individual addresses (see below). A popular
configuration would be something along the lines of 2 x
controllable cameras, 4 x fixed (static) cameras and 2 x
controllers. This would mean that the number of video inputs
required would exceed the amount of inputs offered by most
chart plotters and so a video switcher (such as the IRIS606 c
Camera switcher) would be required. Video from each camera is
routed into the video switcher and the output from the switcher is
then routed into a single input of the chart plotter. Switching is
controlled by a dedicated waterproof keypad connected to the
switcher. The data wires from each of the controllable cameras,
along with the data wires from the two controllers would then
need to be routed into a Serial Data Distributor (also known as
an Expander), such as the IRIS EXP0204. This simplifies
installation and prevents ʻcross-talkʼ and ʻreflectionsʼ and the
data line that can result in poor camera control and ʻover-runsʼ.

switchers and data expanders can be found at www.boat-
