Some Garmin® GPSMAP® chartplotters have a built-in CVBS video encoder. Video from the camera or cameras appears on all chartplotters on the network when plugged into a single CVBS IN port. Go to www.garmin.com/manuals/gc12 for a list of compatible GPSMAP chartplotters. If you want to use more than one camera or the chartplotter does not have a CVBS IN port, you must use an encoder. You can add up to four cameras to one encoder and up to two encoders to the Garmin Marine Network.
