Clarenville, Newfoundland designer and manufacturer of subsea imaging hardware — depth-rated cameras with in-house water-corrected optics, LED illuminators and parallel lasers — together with recording, streaming and overlay software.
Canadian innovation builds a brighter tomorrow.
SubC Imaging states that it was "Founded and headquartered in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada", with a mission "to continuously create the most technologically advanced and intelligent subsea imaging equipment and software for marine research, offshore oil and gas, aquaculture, fisheries, and other industries". It says that "Working on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, our backyard is the world's most challenging testing ground, shaping equipment designed for reliability, modularity, and consistent performance", and that its underwater equipment — complete camera systems, cameras, LEDs and lasers — has been in use for a number of years across a client list spanning more than 30 countries.
States that it designed LiquidOptics and UltraOptics for its Rayfin camera, both offering full water-correction, with UltraOptics providing an ultra-wide 120 degree diagonal field of view. subcimaging.com
