Q5. will I be able to connect it to my backup system which is an e78?
A5. See the response to Q3 ... Raymarine has produced no product having the name "e78".

Q6. can my fusion system connect to it?

A7. Yes - IP camera input only

Q8. will it have multiple inputs for camera feeds (currently- my Gseries displays - which I have 2 on lower station and 1 on upper station- can feed 9 different camera feeds in since each display can take 3 cams.
A8. Up to 10 IP Cameras ... no analog camera input ports

Q9. will it connect to/or share my existing downvision transdcuer that is connected to the e78?
A9. Is is possible that you actually own an a78 or eS78 MFD? If so, then it may be interfaced to a AXIOM MFD following the release of LightHouse 3 software for the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs and subsequent installation of the LightHouse 3 software into the a78 MFD.
