General description
The SCB-2DRVL-DVR is a 2 diver radio communication unit with integrated video and LED
light controller with HD recorder and 10,4” Daylight TFT monitor.
The radio is built in a ruggedized flight case of which the Lid can be removed for easy setup
on a table.
Two divers can be connected and operated at the same time. For each diver the audio volume
can be adjusted for surface and diver. Each diver LED light can be regulated for 0-100%.
Intensity. The diver communication is based on a simplex 2 wire communication. This means
that the divers is always listened out at the surface and the operator needs to press the PTT
button to talk to the diver. Each diver has its own PTT.
The system needs to be powered by 100- 240 vac and has a built in uninterruptable power
supply (UPS) function. This is realized with a battery system and an automatic battery
charger. The SCC will also operate for approx. 1 hour on the internal UPS.
The status of the batteries is indicated with 3 LED’s.
An optional external speaker is controlled by an independent amplifier.
Camera and light of each diver can be switched on and off.
The built in video camera controller can be set for video signal over normal twisted pair cable
or coaxial cable. The video signal can be external adjusted to corresponding cable length.
The maximum cable length without loss of video signal is 400 m.
The built in DVR can record one diver video (selectable) and records audio of both divers and
surface operator. The DVR records in Full PAL resolution 720*576 @ 25 fps.
The recorded files can be retrieved using a USB memory stick (Pen Drive) or direct PC
connection. The DVR is controlled with function buttons and/or remote control.
Both audio and video have an extra output for connection to other monitors and/or recording
systems.
The built in video overlay is operated with a standard pc keyboard. The overlay has a built in
clock for time&date. The overlay has 12 pages of free text which can be stored in the overlay
memory.
An external headset and microphone or a Mic with PTT can be connected to the radio.
Note: This manual can be found on the DVR HD in the folder MANUAL, in a pdf format.
It can be copied from the DVR HD to the PC or USB Pendrive.
