SubC Imaging outlines how its Rayfin Single Channel Inspection (SCI) system streamlines Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) visual inspection operations by integrating camera control, Digital Video Recording (DVR) & data management into a single software platform.
The system is designed to reduce operational complexity while supporting consistent, high-quality subsea inspection data collection.
Limitations of Traditional ROV Camera and DVR Workflows
Many ROV inspection setups rely on separate software applications for camera control and DVR recording. This separation can complicate workflows, increase setup time, and raise training requirements. Switching between interfaces during operations may also increase the risk of user error or data synchronization issues.
A Unified Platform for Inspection Operations
Rayfin SCI consolidates camera control, recording, and data handling within one interface, allowing operators to manage cameras, lighting, and laser systems from a single control point. The system supports real-time topside transfer of video, still imagery, and related data, enabling immediate access to inspection results without extended post-mission downloads.
High-definition video and high-resolution still imaging support clear visual documentation in challenging underwater environments. Rayfin SCI is intended for use across ROVs, drop systems, and tow systems, allowing operators to maintain consistent workflows across different deployment configurations.
Improving Efficiency and Reducing Operational Risk
By integrating multiple inspection functions into a single platform, Rayfin SCI reduces workflow redundancy and simplifies system operation. This streamlined approach can shorten training time and help reduce the likelihood of errors during data capture and management, supporting reliable inspection outcomes.
SubC Imaging presents Rayfin SCI as an integrated solution for simplifying ROV visual inspections. By combining camera control, DVR functionality, and data management into one platform, Rayfin SCI improves operational efficiency while maintaining dependable access to high-quality subsea inspection data.
