  Ready for Your Optical Fiber  Standard unit may be controled via RS485 twisted wire pair, or as an IP address on shared CAT5, Fiber Optic or Wireless network

      Never Crack that Housing  Routine operations NEVER require housing access.  Under network control, images transferred to the controller in realtime. Under serial control, images are transferred topside via network, wireless network or solid state disk drive

  Electronic Strobe  Internal TTL strobe standard. TTL or Manual connection for external strobe (external strobe recommended for underwater use).  C-Map can supply a powerful external 125 Watt Second TTL strobe for this camera.

      Creative Control  A host of camera control options include fully automatic, shutter preferred, aperture preferred, and fully manual. 5 white balance choices. Text annotation of images with Time/Date/User Comments .

  Pick Your Housing Depth  Polycarbonate  150 meter, Anodized Aluminum 300 meter and 1500 meter, Titanium Full Ocean Depth

      Don't Fall Behind  Technology progresses daily.  Cyclops camera components and control software are updateable by design.

  Triple Sealed Housing  Housings are manufactured with confidence inspiring ‘Triple Sealed’  closures.   Housing ends incorporate two piston seal O-Rings and one face seal O-Ring.

      Purge/Test Port  Housings are equipped with a purge plug port for pressure relief and vacuum leak testing. Positive pressure hand pump supplied for effortless end cap separation. 

  Throw Away Your VCR  Topside operation via included C-Map Systems 'VideoRuler' software and hardware.  Sophisticated DVD video recording, image processing, micrometer measuring tools and image database.

      Have it Your Way  Onboard WindowsXP computer provides opportunities for custom programming. Autonomous operation, instrumentation processing and sonar processing are just a few of the possiblities.
