Introducing the Alexa Underwater Housing
Congratulations on owning a new Gates product: the Alexa Underwater Housing.
You’ve selected an underwater imaging tool that will provide years of value and reliable
service. We designed the Alexa Underwater Housing specifically for the Alexa, Alexa XT
and Alexa XT Plus cameras.
Please read through this entire guide to learn about the Alexa housing so you can get
the most out of this imaging tool. In this section, we’ll introduce you to the features of the
housing so you can get started.
Features
Alexa housing has several key features:
Lens flexibility.
The
Alexa housing can accommodate a variety of different PL
mount lenses with no change to control locations. Focus, Iris, Zoom remain in the
same location regardless of optics used.
Full camera control.
All practical controls are accessed directly with the Alexa
housing, as is the full menu system of the camera.
Cinema-grade design.
Lens choice and control access are just two of the many
features designed into the
Alexa housing. A/R coated glass optics, optional HD-SDI
surface feed, and Seal Check are a few of the items any professional will
appreciate.
Warranty Disclaimer
Like any tool the Alexa Underwater Housing requires knowledge and understanding to
be effective.
Your responsibility is to learn the proper setup, use and care of the Alexa housing.
Because we can only provide you with the information necessary to do so, Gates does
not warrant the contents of your housing (e.g. your camera and lenses) under any
circumstance.
We warrant the Alexa housing as an image acquisition tool for a period of 2 years. The
Seal Check unit is warranted for 1 year. Optics (Dome and Flat ports) are warranted for
a period of 1 year or 100 hours salt water contact, whichever comes first.
Gates does not warrant optical performance or image quality.
If you have any questions about the setup, use and care of the Alexa housing, contact
Gates directly. Details are in section 2.
