Iris Innovations IRIS599 Compact Mini Joystick for ATOM Range Cameras

Compact Mini Joystick for ATOM Range Cameras

The IRIS599 Compact Controller not only features a waterproof 4-axis joystick (for pan, tilt, zoom and select controls) but also an in-depth yet intuitive menu system to achieve deeper control of extended features such as Preset operation (set and call), Home Position operation (set and call), absolute reference control, LED Brightness and a host of thermal camera functions such as color palette selected, nonuniformity correction filter operation and Image Contrast Enhancement operation.

As well as control over camera features, the IRIS599 can also be used to switch between camera modules on our dual payload models and be used to select up to 16 cameras, giving you full control of your vessel onboard camera system from a single, compact control interface.

Manufactured from 316L marine grade stainless steel and measuring only 2.75 in diameter, the IRIS599 controller is easy to install and fits neatly at any helm. A dimmable ring of colored LEDs provides feedback and a visual indication of camera position and menu and feature selection.

With its super compact form factor, the IRIS599 should fit neatly into most helms, but should helm-space be a premium, weve also developed a beautiful POD599 mounting option to allow the unit to be fixed to a vertical or overhead space.

Whether used as an independent controller or in conjunction with our TE01 or CMAC, the IRIS599 is a powerful control interface for your onboard or in-vehicle camera system.

The IRI599 outputs RS485 Serial Data (Pelco D + Iris Variant Protocol) with a CANBus version due for release in 2025.

The Iris Innovations IRIS599 Compact Mini Joystick is a highly versatile and durable control interface designed for precise management of ATOM range cameras. Crafted from marine-grade 316L stainless steel and measuring only 2.75 inches in diameter, this compact controller is built for easy installation in tight helm spaces while offering robust performance in harsh environments. Its circular design facilitates straightforward cutout and mounting, making it suitable for a wide range of vessel applications. The IRIS599 features a waterproof 4-axis joystick that provides smooth control over pan, tilt, zoom, and select functions, complemented by scaled speed controls for nuanced maneuvering. An intuitive menu system with 16 dimmable colored feedback LEDs enables quick access to extended features such as preset positioning, home position management, and thermal camera controls, including color palette selection, nonuniformity correction, and image contrast enhancement. This level of control allows operators to optimize camera performance for various operational needs. The controller supports switching between up to 16 camera modules, which simplifies multi-camera management onboard your vessel. Its low power consumption (maximum 1.5W) and flexible voltage operation (+9-30VDC) ensure compatibility with most marine and industrial power systems. The IRIS599 communicates via RS485 serial data, supporting Pelco D and Iris variant protocols, with a CANBus version slated for release in 2025. Designed for harsh environments, it boasts an IP66 environmental rating, chemical resistance, and operational temperature range from -20°C to 65°C (-4°F to 149°F). Optional mounting solutions like the POD599 provide flexibility for spaces with limited helm area. Whether used independently or integrated with other control systems like TE01 or CMAC, the IRIS599 offers comprehensive, reliable control of onboard camera systems for marine, industrial, and off-highway applications.
