High Brightness Light Emitting Diodes for Ocean Applications
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are emerging in the undersea world as a reliable, efficient light source capable of narrow or wide chromatic bandwidth.

HMI lights, used to illuminate the Titanic in this 1991 expedition, are compact high efficient light sources that produce a near-daylight spectrum that penetrates much further in seawater than conventional lights.
We developed a unique transmission method for uncompressed HD-SDI video signals in subsea use known as FleXlink. After FleXlink was validated in the lab, we partnered with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct field trials of the technology.
Our exclusive FleXlink technology offers an alternative to high cost and delicate coaxial and fiber optic interconnects to HDSDI cameras on subsea vehicles and platforms.
Our HD Multi SeaCam® was used to collect the first underwater video footage and images of the shipwreck Ituna
