Highly sensible bw-camera for use in low light conditions

Thin, Polyester reinforced coaxial cable with a small current drag used for signal transmission and as dragging line

Towframe with additional weight to inspect wide areas

Battery powered for use from small bets, independent of external power

LEDs with small power consumption for night dives and depth up to 300 m

MICRO is a minicamera with a bw-CCD camerachip the size of a Coke can. The video image is transmitted simultaneously via a 5 mm thin coaxial cable onto a TV screen and can be recorded with @a standard recorder.

MICRO is powered by the enclosed battery pack which gives it independence from other power supplies. The small dimensions open a wide operational field for the system. Scuba divers can inspect their diving spot, check their colleagues during their work or transmit the images of their investigation to the crew on shore. other applications are longterm observations of marine flora and fauna for scientific use, investigations of ship hulls and pipes as well as the control of signals recorded by an echo sounder.

Fisherman prefer MICRO to observe their fishing sites and to find out more about the biting habits of fish. With a towframe, larger areas can be investigated for wrecks and bottom profiles. MICRO needs no maintenance and its little weight allows air travel, thus making it an ideal companion for divers.

MICRO consists of a small stainless steel pressure housing, including the bw-camerachip and the module for frequency modulation for the electronic transmission. The camera window at the bottom is covered by lexan, 4 led provide enough light at night up to a distance of 1 m in a average water visibility.

The set includes a console for 1.5V batteries to switch the camera and the LED'S. MICRO requires power between 18-32 V, depending on the cable length. All signals including the power supply are transmitted via one coaxial cable so that the use of susceptible, multipolar cables with a high current drag can be avoided,

The 5 mm thin cable is reinforced, with Polyester fibres so that it can be used as a dragging line as well. All pressure housings are waterproof 300 m, cable can be chosen in lengths of 50, 100, 200 and 300 m.

The video signal is frequency-modulated and can be observed on a TV screen with antenna input. With a 12 V TV, an additional car battery allows independence from other power sources.

For the professional user, a console with a little monitor, rechargeable batteries and a battery charger for 230 V is available. An extra power inverter allows the supply from a12 v boat battery. A tow frame, made from stainless steel, gives the opportunity to inspect wide areas with a boat. The depth is depending on additional weights on the frame and on the

The camera can be mounted with a horizontal view , a view to the top or to the bottom. A horizontal viewing angle of 43º in water gives a wide picture. An additional cable reel can be ordered to avoid turns and damage on the cable.
