Introduction
The Surface Control Unit (SCU) is a 19 inch aluminum case that can be mounted in standard 19 inch racks. It contains the
DVR3 digital video recorder that can be used to record and watch video signals. This unit is best combined with other
Novasub rack units.
DVR3
The Novasub DVR3 is the 3rd generation video recording software developed by Seascape Subsea. The software is
completely redesigned from the ground up to accommodate better ease of use, new features, and better image quality.
The software now includes support for touchscreens apart from keyboard and mouse. It also has a new user interface
with a taskbar to control all different functions for each diver. These functions include:
• Camera control
• Light control
• Recording
• Clip Recording
• Snapshot
• Quick overlay changes
The system got support for extensive overlay functions, such as text, images, and data. These overlay functions can be
configured for each diver separately to accommodate for every situation. The configurations can be saved and restored to
make switching between conditions as smooth as possible.
The system can record in SD and 960H and has an audio input for every channel, which records within the video file.
The different cha
nnels can be displayed in various ways to ensure you have your operation’s best sight. That also
includes the ability to connect to an external monitor on which you can select the channels you want to view.
The system has TeamViewer built into the software so you can share your code with anyone who wants to control the
system remotely. This also makes technical support more convenient and efficient.
