Main Camera
The ROV includes a main camera in the front of the main hull, which can be tilted and focused from the surface
using the hand controller. Panning the camera is accomplished by turning the ROV.
The camera has numerous features including the following highlights:
Switchable between Color and Black and White
Automatic White Balance
Wide Dynamic Range
Back Light Compensation
Digital Slow Shutter
1 - 2.5X Zoom
The complete list of camera features and how to control them are described in the
VideoRay Cockpit Guide
The video circuit in the ROV is switchable between the main camera and a video conductor pair on the ROV
accessory port. This allows external cameras to be used as well, but only one camera can be viewed at a time
when using this method.
The ROV, control panel and tether, also support an APIC (Auxiliary Pair of Independent Conductors) that
can be used to provide a second simultaneous video feed.
The main camera resides behind an acrylic dome. The dome should be cleaned with soap and
water. Do not use products that contain alcohol, because this can create stress cracks in the dome.
The front and rear domes are the same and can be interchanged. If the front dome is scratched, the rear
dome can be moved to the front.
