Why SubC?
FOCUS
As specialists in the ocean science market, serving the research community is our number one job. With over a decade of experience, our attention has been focused on supporting and growing the industry since day one.
SubC frequently works with marine researchers to gather product and system design input. As well, we consistently support marine science conferences through sponsorship or by exhibiting.
OPTICS
Trusted by researchers around the world, our SubC camera systems are well-known for their industry-leading optics. Quality research relies on capturing the best images possible and our cameras go above and beyond, especially in deepwater and low-light environments.
SubC has designed LiquidOptics and UltraOptics features for its Rayfin camera. Both offer full water-correction with UltraOptics providing an ultra-wide 120º diagonal FOV.
CAPABILITY
Built using a modular design, our systems are like Swiss Army knives. They’re able to deliver multiple features in one complete package. Meaning that you won’t require multiple instruments, as everything you need is fully incorporated into a single system.
Our Rayfin product line can record videos of up to 4K resolution, as well as capture ultra-high-resolution digital stills. It’s specifically designed to house lighting and/or lasers that can be powered and controlled through the camera itself. Plus, our Aquorea LED product functions as a lamp for video recording or as a strobe when taking stills. From ROVs to AUVs and ocean observatories, the Rayfin can be easily incorporated on any platform and powered by a battery for remote monitoring.
RELIABILITY
Our camera systems are purposely built with the harsh ocean environment in mind. This focus on rugged design ensures there will be no need for maintenance for a number of years.
SubC cameras deployed in the Barkley Canyon (ONC) are currently running without maintenance since 2014.
INTEGRATION
Our camera systems are backed by a powerful API that allows them to be easily combined with other devices and software. This makes it easier for our clients to tailor their systems for special operations like time-lapse recordings and automated data collection.
The University of Washington Rayfin camera systems are running internal custom scripts that execute API commands to turn on LEDs, lasers and other sensors, as well as collect images and videos over long periods.
CONVENIENCE
The modular design of our camera systems allows them to be tailored to meet our client’s exact needs. You’ll find that gathering data is easier when you have the right tools for the job.
SubC provided an Ethernet connection in the camera systems for GEOMAR. This enabled them to download videos while their ROV was still in the water, saving them time and speeding up their research collection
