SubC Control introduced the HD-Now conversion pod which provides older ROVs with an easy upgrade path to HD capability.
Most ROVs have at least one spare fiber. Utilizing a spare presents the easiest method of getting HD video to the surface.
In the cases where the ROV has HD-SDI capability, the bottle outputs HD-SDI over Coax.
HD-Now is built to work with the SubC 1Cam, but it can also work with other analog cameras.
