We’ve been working with NOAA’s Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary on some enhancements to their underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Essentially they are customizing their Deep Ocean Engineering’s Phantom HD2+2 ROV with our SONY LANC controller and software to be able to collect video and video stills topside on a remote PC. Our controller is mounted inside the ROV to provide control of the camera’s functions, such as zoom, focus, and recording/snapshot functions.
This is a great application for our controller product and related software and we’re happy to have been able to help provide technology solutions in this exciting area!
