The MacArtney Group is premiering its latest feats of innovation and system development within the realm of underwater technology with the brand new NEXUS MK VII multiplexer.
The group says that the NEXUS MK VII is a highly versatile HD and standard video, Ethernet, serial and multibeam sonar multiplexer based on Moog Focal 907 telemetric technology. It represents the most advanced MacArtney telemetry system to date. Power switching is software controlled via PC software or using a tablet, which is online via LAN or Wi-Fi. Sensor power status, telemetry link, leak alarm etc. is also continuously monitored by the software. Advanced features include programmable fuses and software enabled interface selection. Moreover, the NEXUS MK VII carries all signals over one single mode optical fiber via coarse wavelength division multiplexing, hereby providing a highly efficient link between surface and seabed.
The NEXUS MK VII is highly configurable and allows for an easy upgrade and modification path when operational or applicational requirements change. Multiplexer options can be installed between jobs or even at sea without the need for an electronics workshop. Typical applications for the NEXUS MK VII will include ROV/ROTV systems requiring a HD video and multibeam sonar survey sensor setup, cable trencher systems, towed camera and sensor systems and seabed monitoring applications including landers and observatory systems.
