Are FLIR's M132 and M232 thermal cameras compatible with MFDs running LightHouse II software?

FLIR's M132 and M232 differ from the earlier generation FLIR M3xx and M6xx Series thermal cameras (ex. M324, M324C, M617C, M625C, etc.) in that the M132 and M232 produce Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) video rather than analog video. RTSP video is streamed to a MFD or network of MFDs via Ethernet communications. Accordingly, the M132 and M232 thermal cameras may only be interfaced to MFDs which support RTSP video and additionally support command and control of FLIR thermal cameras. Such MFDs include:
- Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs which have been updated with LightHouse II v19.03 software
- Raymarine's eS/gS-Series MFDs which have been updated with the latest LightHouse 3 software for eS/gS-Series MFDs
- Raymarine's Axiom MFDs & Axiom Pro MFDs which been updated with the latest LightHouse 3 software for for Axiom / Axiom Pro MFDs
- Garmin GPSMAP® 7x2/9x2 series which have been updated with the latest software
- Garmin GPSMAP 10x2/12x2 series which have been updated with the latest software
- Garmin GPSMAP 74xx/76xx series which have been updated with the latest software
- Garmin GPSMAP 80xx/82xx series which have been updated with the latest software
- Garmin GPSMAP 84xx/86xx series which have been updated with the latest software

Of these MFDs, FLIR ClearCruiseâ„¢ Thermal Analytics is only supported by M132 and M232 thermal cameras which have been interfaced to:
- Raymarine's eS/gS-Series MFDs which have been updated with the latest LightHouse 3 software for eS/gS-Series MFDs, and
- Raymarine's Axiom MFDs & Axiom Pro MFDs which been updated with the latest LightHouse 3 software for for Axiom / Axiom Pro MFDs.
