New Subsea Camera Boasts 4K UHD Image Quality

A new subsea camera from Sidus Solutions, the SS490, is a 4K UHD camera that provides superior video image quality at four times the resolution of 1080 full HD images. According to Sidus Solutions, the camera maintains full 4K resolution while providing excellent focus with a 20x zoom and a combined optical and digital zoom of 144x. The SS490 delivers better picture quality than non-4K models due to its use of HDR (high dynamic range). This is especially helpful with varying lighting conditions such as working with multiple ROVs or reflectivity from stainless steel objects. “We developed
