SubC Imaging Upgrades Tow Camera System
SubC Imaging, a leader in subsea imaging technology, is excited to announce the release of its updated Tow Camera System, offering significant upgrades in both hardware and software to meet the growing demands of underwater surveys and research. This new version builds on the proven success of the original system, incorporating cutting-edge features designed to improve operational efficiency, data quality, and user experience.
Enhanced Hardware for Precision and Ease of Use
The updated Tow Camera System boasts several hardware improvements to achieve more precise and detailed underwater footage. New adjustable LEDs, lasers, and camera settings provide customizable illumination, measurement, and capture options, allowing users to fine-tune the system to their specific needs. These features ensure superior footage quality and accuracy, essential for seafloor mapping, marine observations, and infrastructure inspection.
Safety has been enhanced, making the system even more reliable in demanding subsea environments. User-friendly improvements have been introduced to simplify adjustments in the field, ensuring that the Tow Camera System is easy to deploy and operate.
Software Upgrades for Real-Time Insights 
The Tow Camera System is now powered by Rayfin Single Channel Inspection Software, offering real-time media and data transfer. Users can instantly access and record data topside, without post-mission downloading, drastically reducing post-processing time. Automated organization and embedded metadata streamline the retrieval and analysis of images, videos, and sensor data. At the same time, new capabilities such as Rapid Digital Imaging (RDI) allow for high-resolution stills capture and LED strobing at speeds of up to 2Hz.
Pushing Boundaries in Underwater Technology
The upgraded Tow Camera System can operate at depths up to 380 meters. Built for the most challenging underwater conditions, the system’s rugged stainless steel and epoxy-coated aluminum frame ensures durability, while its neutral buoyancy design provides optimal stability during tow operations.
“The latest version of our Tow Camera System sets a new standard in underwater imaging,” says Chad Collett, CEO of SubC Imaging. “We’ve incorporated feedback from our customers and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in data acquisition, usability, and imaging quality. This system will empower research and inspection professionals to capture the highest-quality visual data in real-time, drastically improving the efficiency of their operations.”
