Software control of the LYYN functions is complete, but depends on the release of VideoRay Cockpit 1.4 or greater, which is on the very near horizon.

Software control eliminates the physical keypad and presents a virtual analog on the screen. Future versions will allow mapping LYYN features to the hand controller.

If you have an urgent need for software controlled LYYN, contact VideoRay at info@videoray.com. A pre-released version of the software can be made available.

VideoRay is pleased to announce the release of a new laser scaling device. This device projects a pair parallel beams that illuminate an object in the field of the camera's view and can be used to estimate the size of the object or surrounding objects.

Versions are available with either two dots, or parallel lines.

An optional PAM-based On/Off module is available that allows users to turn the laser on and off from the surface while the ROV is submerged.

The side plates of the BlueView sonar mount for wide heads have been reversed so the" L" shape of the side plate faces forward. This provides more balanced trim when ballasting so that the system will be easier to trim nose up or nose down. In addition, the screws used in the frame were changed from standard thread #6-32 to Plastite #6 and the holes in the plastic frame are no longer tapped. The Plastite screws provide better performance than standard machine screws for use in plastic components.

This change is not retroactive.

The industrial hand controller is being modified to include a new flex nut for the USB cable. This change will improve the performance under extreme stress to the cable at the connection.
