40MTRJanuary/February 2012 products Think SensorThink Sensor Research introduced Magnetic Interference Detector (MID), a new, powerful feature the TSR-100 Motion Reference Unit, which helps output a magnetic fieldquality value when detecting magnet- ic interference. The Magnetic Interference Detector will alert the ROV or sonar system operator of the magnitude of the error in the heading output from the motion reference unit. This feature is of value to oper- ators that perform work near struc- tures built from ferromagnetic mate- rials which can interfere with the earths magnetic field (i.e. bridges, oil rigs).

For certain kinds of appliances, especially for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal, it is necessary to illuminate objects with an illumina- tion that does not only emit white light.Traditionally, underwater illumination standards were used and filters had to be added to the cam- eras to achieve this objective. Mariscope Meerestechnik however developed a new system of underwater illumination that adds to the line of their professional underwater cameras. The system allows controlling the variation of colors of the underwater light from the surface. Starting with the colors red, green, blue and white, it is possible to mix any color in the visible range to obtainextraordinary results, especially for underwater film making. The system is based on advanced technology of high output LEDs, developed recently by the company itself in Germany. Email: info@ mariscope.de MTR#1 (34-48):MTR Layouts 1/3/2012 10:54 AM Page 40
