Product Description

The explore HD Heavy is the ultimate upgrade from its predecessor, packed with groundbreaking features that make it a true revolution in underwater vision. Boasting a brand new backside illuminated (BSI) sensor that uses Sony's STARVIS technology, this camera offers unmatched low light performance and dynamic range. The new military-grade aluminum alloy casing provides incredible resistance to galvanic corrosion, while the sapphire crystal front element adds durability and scratch resistance. This, in combination with our patent pending technology, offers an extreme depth rating of 1000 meters.

The explore HD Heavy is designed to take on advanced computer vision applications, bridging the gap between autonomy and underwater robots. And when paired with our DWE OS software, the possibilities are endless!

But that's not all - the explore HD Heavy and DWE OS software work seamlessly together, allowing for advanced multi-stream capabilities of up to 7 cameras at the same time with low latency and bandwidth. Say goodbye to limitations and hello to endless possibilities!

Standard Cable Length: 1 meter - this option is the standard fisheye lens other lens options may be available at extra cost.

The exploreHD Heavy's housing is is precision-machined from a high-strength aluminum alloy, providing superior corrosion resistance and structural durability. Ideal for long-term subsea operations, it ensures reliable performance at depths up to 1000m.

The exploreHD Heavy is equipped with an advanced backside-illuminated (BSI) sensor, designed to maximize light sensitivity for superior low-light imaging and enhanced dynamic range. This next-generation upgrade, combined with a redesigned camera PCB, ensures clearer details, reduced noise, and improved visibility in deep-sea environments.

The exploreHD Heavy features a 3mm thick sapphire crystal lens with an anti-reflective (AR) coating, providing exceptional scratch resistance and clarity. Crafted to withstand high-pressure and abrasive environments, this durable lens ensures reliable performance in the harshest conditions.
