The STR SeaTow-6000 is the latest addition to the range of Electric Series Winches that are used extensively for hydrographic, geophysical and oceanographic survey globally.

This winch is designed for deep water applications that require the use of 6000m of 11.4mm armoured coaxial cable and will also accommodate a wide range of electro-optic and umbilical cables. Typical applications for the STR SeaTow-6000 are sidescan sonar, combined sidescan sonar and sub bottom profiler systems, marine magnetometers, gradiometers, drop camera systems, oceanographic sensors and ROV systems.

The STR SeaTow 500 is a latest generation compact and light weight single phase AC electric winch designed for the installation of 500m of 1/4” steel armoured tow cable.

Typical applications for this winch are sidescan sonar, combined sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiler systems, marine magnetometers, gradiometers, oceanographic sensors and drop camera systems.

The STR SeaTow 2000 is a latest generation 3 phase electric winch designed for use with of a range of steel armoured or soft tow cables.

Typical applications for this winch are sidescan sonar, combined sidescan and sub-bottom profilers, ROTV systems, marine magnetometers, gradiometers, oceanographic sensors and drop camera systems.

STR has developed a new high visibility underwater display enclosed in a compact 3000m rated subsea housing.

Full advantage is taken of the latest high efficiency white LED dot matrix technology to realise a very power efficient high visibility design, ideal for battery powered applications.

The display is user configurable to allow for a comprehensive range of input signal formats and display modes. These include RS232 & RS485.

Additional features include display brightness adjustment and the ability to light activate the display.

The display can be used for a wide range of applications, for example to display heading, pitch and roll output from a subsea gyro powered from a battery pack.

Key Features

  • High visibility under water
  • Highly configurable by user
  • Adjustable brightness display
  • High efficiency
  • Low power requirement
  • Very low standby power
  • Light activated turn-on
  • Compact size
  • 3000m rated as standard

The STR SeaSync PPS Splitter provides a means of easily connecting multiple pieces of equipment requiring TTL PPS signals and RS232 coms to a single source.

It is configurable via a front panel switch as a single input (A) to 10 output system or as 2, two inputs to 5 outputs systems (A and B inputs/outputs).

All inputs and outputs channels have full low voltage galvanic isolation to reduce the likely hood of ground differential issues.

The SeaSpyder Nano is part of a family of field proven camera systems manufactured by STR for the marine survey and environmental communities.

The Ultra Compact SeaSpyder Nano Underwater Drop Camera System offers high resolution digital imaging and photographic quality illumination from within a highly compact form factor. The system comprises of the latest generation STR SeaCam Mini IP camera and two ultra-efficient STR SeaLight LED Lights installed on a lightweight camera deployment frame.

A dedicated Kevlar re-enforced umbilical up to 100m in length is used for frame deployment and communication to the camera system electronics. The system can be mobilised quickly and has been designed for simple operation.

Real time HD video is captured using the supplied STR VidOverlay software. The software driven interface is easy to use and supports typical requirements such as serial and graphical overlay input, field reporting, jpeg still frame capture and adjustment of video recording and display parameters. To ensure safe operation, the subsea electronics operate using a low voltage DC supply from the Surface Integration module. This small waterproof enclosure also provides the data connection to the laptop running STR VidOverlay software.

Key Features

  • Ultra compact design
  • Single person operation
  • High resolution digital imaging
  • Photographic quality illumination
  • Easy to use software
  • Field reporting capability

This latest development of the popular STR SeaSpyder Drop Camera system not only offers superior performance to its predecessors but also boasts a significant reduction in size and weight.

These advancements allow easy installation to a wide range of ROV and ROTV systems in order to provide ultra-high quality still frame capture.

STR have continued to add features and improve specifications to its line-up of cameras, this latest product has benefited from a complete design review allowing our engineering team to miniaturise all existing features and yet increase performance such as improved resolution and optical performance.
