Twelve years later, the company has sold more than 1,950 ROVs worldwide. VideoRay ROVs are suitable for underwater operations including surveys, offshore inspections, search & recovery, home- land & port security, science & research, fish farming, and broadcast television production. Plug and play technology was designed to allow cus- tomers to attach sensors and acces-sories in the field. VideoRay is avail- able on the General Services Administration (GSA) schedule. The VideoRay line of Remotely Operated Observation and Inspection Systems combines elec- tronics, optics, and hydrodynamics to produce high-quality video in a small, light, easily-deployed unit. VideoRay's design has been perfected over years of extensive field experi- ence. VideoRays have been deployed all over the world - from the warm, clear, calm waters of the Caribbean to hostile environments in the Arctic. VideoRays have been used in water too polluted for humans and in manyplaces too confined or dangerous for divers to enter. Tough materials ? acrylic domes, anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and Kevlar ? used in the VideoRay ensure that it will with- stand repeated and extended use. Ongoing R&D, extensive spare parts supplies, and trained techniciansensure that VideoRay customers stay productive.

This year has seen the launch of several new products to increase surveyors and scientists operational efficiency. These include a compact, portable tracking system for on-deck deploy- ment, a new acoustic release beacon targeted at the growing marine survey market and a high power, high reso- lution seismic boomer with tripleplates. This S-Boom System delivers a source level high enough to signifi- cantly increase sub-bottom penetra- tion without loss of data quality. 100MTRTHE MARINE TECHNOLOGY REPORTER 100For the sixth consecutive year, Marine Technology Reporter offers insights on one hundred companies ? from established corporate leaders to new start-ups ? that produce and consume the technology that drives the global subsea market.
