What is it?
Our exploreHD cameras transcend conventional USB camera capabilities through our innovative MultiStream™ technology. While traditional USB vision systems are typically limited to three simultaneous camera streams per computer, MultiStream™ eliminates this constraint, enabling seamless operation of many cameras concurrently.
Each exploreHD camera can also function as an independent IP camera through UDP streaming when paired with DWE OS. This versatility, combined with superior power efficiency, minimal latency, and comprehensive features, positions exploreHD cameras as a premium alternative to traditional subsea IP cameras — all in a compact form factor and at a fraction of the cost.
How to Use MultiStream™?
OPTION 1: Manual Setup
The manual setup approach leverages the advanced H.264 encoding capabilities of exploreHD cameras in conjunction with our 7-Port Multiplexer and a single-board computer (such as a Raspberry Pi or Jetson) to maximize MultiStream™ performance.
This configuration is ideal for ROV/AUV/ASV systems that already utilize single-board computers, including platforms like BlueROV.
OPTION 2: Plug and Play
Our Subsea Vision Computer (SVC) offers a simplified MultiStream™ deployment by integrating the functionality of both the 7-Port Multiplexer and single-board computer into one streamlined system. This all-in-one solution requires only a single Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE) for complete operation.
Engineered for depths up to 6000M and compatible with various subsea connectors, our SVC delivers professional-grade performance in a robust, integrated package.
Recommended Software for MultiStream™
MultiStream™ achieves its full potential through the integration of DWE OS running on the single-board computer and Discovery software on the receiving system. This powerful software combination enables seamless multi-camera streaming and management.
DWE OS
DWE OS transforms exploreHD cameras into IP cameras through an intuitive, plug-and-play interface. The software enables comprehensive control over critical parameters including bitrate, compression format, and streaming options.
With automatic port selection and support for unlimited UDP camera streams, DWE OS provides the flexibility and scalability needed for complex multi-camera deployments.
