ROS Adds New Camera Features Remote Ocean Systems (ROS) added next generation features to its ROVER and NAVIGATOR cameras. The new technology offers higher resolution and better clarity to enhance deep water in- spections and observations. In addition to the camera upgrades, ROS has devel- oped a new Positioning System, the PT- 10-4K, featuring advanced operational software for smooth and precise posi- tioning to depths up to 4000m.See the new products at Oceans 2013, Booth #118 Sound MetricsSound Metrics Corporation manufac- tures high-deÞ nition imaging sonars that seek to set a new standard for what can be imaged with sonar. Sound Metrics engineered a proprietary acoustic lens technology to provide shaped, focused, narrow beam patterns that yield qualiy image resolution, clarity and detail. ARIS is the new line of dual-frequency sonars offered by Sound Metrics and takes over where DIDSON left off. Sound Metrics sonars are used by a range of industries including military, oil & gas, underwater construction, dam maintenance, search & rescue, law en- forcement and Þ sheries management.

Like the original MacArtney Low Light Camera, the lighter compact version is designed for use in harsh and turbid conditions, where light is limited or artiÞ cial. With- in such demanding environments, the black and white sensor (0,005 LUX) of-fers impressive light sensitivity, image quality and viewing performance. Fea- turing the same dimensions as the LUX-US Compact Camera, the new LUXUS Compact Low Light Camera is designed to function in combination with remain-ing LUXUS series including LUXUS compact LED, LUXUS compact media controller, LUXUS pistol grip, diver helmet dove tail and universal mount- ing brackets. According to the manufac- turer, the LUXUS Compact Low Light Camera is robustly designed and rigor- ously tested to perform in the harshest underwater environments. As with all other cameras and lights within the Ma-cArtney LUXUS range, the housing for the LUXUS Compact Low Light Cam- era is made from sandblasted titanium and features a depth rating of 4000m. Finally, the camera consumes just 2 W and can handle DC power units from 12 to 24 VDC. www.macartney.com See More with the Super Wide-i SeaCamDeepSea Power & Light enhanced its Wide-i SeaCam. The newly designed version, the Super Wide-i SeaCam, has a smaller housing, proprietary lens and a dome port which eliminates vignett-ing and minimizes image distortion.
