Blueprint Subsea StarFish 454 OEM
Blueprint Subsea StarFish 454 OEM System for sale, 450kHz CHIRP OEM system for ROV and AUV integration, Lower frequency for longer range.Blueprint Subsea StarFish 454O EM System for sale, 450kHz CHIRP OEM system for ROV and AUV integration. Lower frequency for longer range.
The StarFish 453O EM system comprises two self contained transducer elements and the StarFish electronics circuit board, allowing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) to add sonar capabilities to their own products.
Outstanding Performance
Built on the proven StarFish digital CHIRP acoustic technology developed from the professional underwater survey industry, the StarFish453 OEM system features an enhanced transducer design with larger acoustic aperture for a 0.5° horizontal beam width (our highest resolution 450kHz sonar), and depth rating up to 300m (980ft) - producing crisper and cleaner imagery at ranges of up to 100 metres on each channel (200m total swathe coverage).
Simple Integration
In addition to the two transducer connectors, the electronics board only requires a power supply (from 9 to 28V DC) and a USB data connection to the controlling PC.
In additional to integration with our Scanline software package, a Software Development Kit (SDK), Windows DLL library and diagnostic toolkit are provided to assist developers integrate the sonar into their systems.
Features:
450kHz CHIRP OEM system for ROV and AUV integration. Lower frequency for longer range.
- Lightweight and compact design
- Simple setup and operation
- 450kHz CHIRP operation
- Up to a 200m swathe coverage
- Horizontal beam width of 0.5°
- Simple USB data connection
- Intuitive operator software
Exceptional imagery in compact form
StarFish Application ExampleSpecifically designed for shallow water survey work, the StarFish range offers towed, hull-mounted and OEM systems.
- Stable full-length tri-fin design
- Simple setup and operation
- Frequencies from 450kHz-1MHz, using CHIRP technology
- Up to a 200m swathe coverage
- Horizontal beam width as low as 0.3°
- Towed systems depth rated of 50m and OEM to 2000m
- Simple, intuitive operator software
Towed StarFish systems allow quick and easy, single person deployment making them ideal for survey work and Search And Rescue (SAR) applications. The innovative full-length tri-fin design provides a stable platform for improved image capture and the single tow-line cable keeps setup and operation as simple as possible.
OEM StarFish systems are lightweight and extremely compact. The transducers offer multiple mounting options to allow easy ROV and AUV integration.
All StarFish systems utilise CHIRP technology and are available in 450kHz for increased range and 1MHz for improved resolution.
