Telemetry

Oktopus telemetry systems act as a way of transmitting live video streams, data and power up to a maximum depth of 6,000 m. Consisting of a deck unit and an underwater unit (pressure housing), the system is available in different configurations (e.g. interfaces, video channels, power supply) and for the following winch cables (up to 10,000 m):

 

  • coaxial cable
  • coax with fibre-optics
  • single core with fibre-optics

 

We look forward to assembling a system perfect for you and your application from our components.

EDT
VDT3 (EOL)
Oktopus VDT3 is deployed with the following winch cables:
 
  • Coax cable
  • Coax with fibre-optics
 
The respective interfaces and functions can be accessed at the deck unit (video out, FBAS PAL/SW, Ethernet 100 Mbit/s, RS232, RS485, RS422). Oktopus floodlights designed for use with the telemetry, as well as Oktopus cameras available as accessories, provide greater visibility, and therefore better images, in water.
 
The following specifications apply, depending on mode:
 
  Coax Cable Coax + fibre-optic cable

VDT5 (EOL)
Oktopus VDT5 is deployed with the following winch cables:
 
  • coax cable with fibre-optics (min. 1)
  • single core (min. 2) with fibre-optics (min. 1)
 
Deck unit
  • power supply, conversion and output to winch cable
  • interface provision
  • interface for connecting the master control PC (optional)
