Bowtechs LCC and L3C cameras have been on the market for over 15 years. As cam-era technology has progressed over the years, the cameras have been upgraded as significant increases in performance were proven to ensure that we continue to deliver the most up to date and reliable camera technology to our customers. These sensitive, higher resolution cameras are manufactured in a Titanium housing with Sapphire glass ports and are rated for use to 4000 metres ocean depth (with a 6000m option). They have proven extremely popular with customers with over 5000 from this range of cam- eras delivered for use in many underwater industries and applica- tions. The Bowtech Divecam range (rated to 100 or 300m) has also been upgraded by 100 TV Lines each. www.bowtech.co.uk SubConn 25-pin Connector Series Demands placed on underwater connectors have increased as underwater projects combine increasing numbers of sensors and each sensor requires multiple connections. Often connectors need to combine power and signal ? power to supply the sensors andsignals for information. SubConn Inc. has developed a new series of SubConn connectors designed to carry more power and signal connections than previously available. This new SubConn range has 25 pins ? 3 for power and 22 for signal. The new SubConn series is based on the existing C size series, offering the assured quality and reliability already proven in decades of use offshore. Using the same dimensions as the standard C size connector also makes it compatible with the same locking sleeves, nuts and otheraccessories.www.subconn.com L-3 Klein: HydroScan Rapidly Deployable S&R SSS L-3 Klein Associates introduced a new lightweight, rapidly deploy- able side scan sonar (SSS) for search and recovery (SAR) applica- tions. HydroScan implements advanced technologies, resulting in a highly compact profile that is designed to deliver higher quality imaging and range performance. From nose to tail, L-3 Kleins HydroScan was designed to anticipate the needs of SAR and relat- ed applications. The system uses proprietary dual-frequency (455 and 900 kHz) wideband FM Chirp sonar to provide high-resolution imaging, outstanding contrast ratios, and under certain condi- tions, as much as double the range of competitive lightweight sys-tems in disaster, emergency and first responder surveys. The HydroScan is rated to a full 100-m depth and is designed with rugged components that are built to last. www.L-3com.com/Klein LCC-700 &L3C-650
