1. Power cable - Connect the power cable provided to the [Power] port in the Junction
Box and to a DC power source on your vessel. It is recommended that you use
either a 12V or 24V DC power. The power cable consists of Black for (-) negative,
White for (+) wire. Please ensure that the correct polarity is inserted into the right
terminal (Fig. 6).
2. Camera harness - Connect the end of the camera harness to the ethernet port in
the Junction Box marked [Camera].
3. Controller cable - Connect the ethernet cable to the Junction Box [Controller/MFD]
port and the other end the Joystick Controller.
4. Console cable - Connect the ethernet cable to the Junction Box [Controller/MFD]
port on the right and the other end to the Console [Camera] port.
5. NMEA 0183 socket - For devices that require input from NMEA 0183 devices,
connect the NMEA 0183 data source to the [NMEA] socket in the Junction Box
using 24-20 AWG cables and the output from the NMEA device to the Rx pins in
the Junction Box.
Connecting the Cables
Junction Box
The Junction Box is the primary means to provide power to the Camera and Joystick
Controller. It also serves as a hub for data transmission and interfacing point to other
connected network devices.

6. Console cable -
Connect the ethernet cable to the Console [Camera] port and to
the Junction Box [Controller/MFD] port on the right (see no.4).
7. HDMI cable - Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI input port on the Console and to a
supported MFD / Touchscreen monitor.
8. USB cable - Connect the USB cable to the USB input port on the Console and to a
supported MFD / Touchscreen monitor.
9. Power cable - Connect the power cable provided to the [Power] port on the Console
and to a 12V DC power source on your vessel.
Console
The console provides high resolution HDMI video interface and multi-touch control
capabilities with compatible displays.
You can choose to display the video output of your Ulysses Mini to a supported MFD
via IP (ethernet) or via HDMI to a Touchscreen monitor/MFD. We recommend using
HDMI option (above) when using higher resolution cameras for better video
performance. However, if you choose to connect it through ethernet, instructions are
as follows:
1. Connecting to a MFD:
Connect the Ethernet cable from the [Controller/MFD] port in the Junction Box to a
compatible MFD. The camera will work with Garmin MFD with OneHelm. If you are
using a Garmin’s MFD, you should see a Ulysses Mini icon displayed on the
‘OneHelm’ page after powering up both the MFD and camera system. Launch the
Ulysses Mini icon to use the camera.
If you are using a Furuno or Navico’s MFD, you will need to configure the camera
system to communicate in the correct network environment by using a web browser
or an analog monitor/Joystick Controller. Refer to setup section on the next page.
2. Connecting to a PC:
Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to Ethernet port on the Junction Box
marked [Controller/MFD]. On your web browser, enter the default IP address as
indicated at the base of the turret and login with the following:
Username: admin
Password: 12345
Full control of the camera can now be accessed through the Web browser.
