New product introduction- RobertsonGeo - RGeo-eye
RGeo-eye® is a slimline full colour downward view camera, operating on a 4-core or coaxial cable at high transmission rate and is fully compatible with existing Robertson Geo winches and surface systems.
RGeo-eye® employs a downward facing window with a fish-eye lens fully corrected for lens distortion before data is compressed and sent uphole. An LED light source, with controllable brightness is integral to the probe.
The RGeo-eye® camera system is a new introduction of a design and build development by Robertson Geo. It has a deep operating range for the acquisition of high quality video feed for deep subsurface applications. The camera operates on industry-standard 4-core or coaxial wireline cable, and offers pressure ratings to 5000 psi and a 75°C temperature rating.
The system incorporates RGeo-fast® delivering 1 Megabit/sec communication speed enabling the acquisition of high resolution video feed from downhole (to 3,000m) in air or water filled open or cased boreholes while allowing real-time viewing for the surface operative.
The camera has auto focus, a frontal LED internal array with adjustable lighting intensity, and a viewing resolution of SVGA (800 x 600) at 25 frames/sec.
The acquisition software package provided with the RGeo-eye® camera system allows extensive operator control including video resolution, frame rate, shutter speed, lighting brightness, white balance, UXGA ‘snapshot’ mode and real time video annotations.
Four user definable presets allow the operator to store optimal settings for various borehole conditions. Video is recorded in AVI and converted to MP4 for storage and relay.
It allows screen shots to be captured and text editing while viewing/recording. Where more detail is required, full colour ‘snapshot’ images can also be captured at 1600 x 1200.
