After some technical help please, I have 2 e series plotters with three video cameras connected. Acording to the e series manual you can only watch the video feed on the plotter the units are connected to. However I can usually see them on either plotter. I haven't pulled the plotter out yet but how may this be achieved? There is a 9 pin D type socket on the back of the plotter that I understand is the video input from any cameras, does this connector also power the cameras through the video cable, or do the cameras usually have their own power supply? At present one camera is under the radar arch looking at the flybridge (why?) and there is one on each corner of the flybridge overhang looking at the dock side. I want to relocate them into the engine bay so I can see whats happening in there as I never use any of the cameras at all.
