Deepsea Solutions AS are thrilled to announce that they have acquired shares in C-Tecnics Ltd in Aberdeen. Scott Younger has now taken over the role as Managing Director. Magnus Lindberg and Aslak Tunheim has joined the company as Directors.

OceanTools, based in Aberdeen, UK, global leaders in subsea engineering, announce the expansion of their product portfolio with the introduction of newly developed subsea robotic products following a significant period of growth.

OceanTools, based in Aberdeen, UK, global leaders in subsea engineering, have announced the launch of two high specification cameras, the C3 Wide Angle range, and the C5 Low Light ROV Navigation Camera.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Eagle IP Vision. A brand-new product set to fill a gap in OTAQ’s offering, Eagle IP Vision is an addition to the current Eagle IP range which will enable users to record video for underwater HD cameras.

Aberdeen, Scotland, based OceanTools Ltd are delighted to announce that Brian Hector and Diane Smith, both formerly of Teledyne Bowtech, have joined their team. Between them they have almost fifty years of experience working at the forefront of the design and manufacture of underwater camera and lighting solutions for multiple industries.

Sidus Solutions, a leader in subsea video cameras and technology, has once again engineered a ground-breaking subsea camera. The SS490 is a 4K UHD camera that provides superior video image quality at four times the resolution of 1080 full HD images. This subsea camera maintains full 4K resolution while providing excellent focus with a 20x zoom and a combined optical and digital zoom of 144x. The SS490 delivers better picture quality than non-4K models due to its use of HDR (high dynamic range). This is especially helpful with varying lighting conditions such as working with multiple ROVs or reflectivity from stainless steel objects.

As part of the National Science Foundation Ocean Observing Initiative (NSF-OOI) Cabled Array project SubC Imaging was selected as the vendor for providing underwater High Definition Video Cameras (1Cam) and Lights (Aquarea LED) to the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington for the CAM HD instrument. The APL-UW team integrated the camera/lights into a system which added a pan/tilt and other metadata sensors and 10Gigabit fiberoptic interface to the Cabled Array infrastructure. The system transmits uncompressed video to shore over the cable where it is recorded and then compressed for live streaming over the Internet. The instrument is currently deployed at Axial Seamount and is imaging an active hydrothermal vent with a diverse biological community. Check out the first footage!

SubC is excited to introduced its latest development in terms of underwater optical engineering.
