VideoRay Pro III XE

The VideoRay PRO III XE is the latest model of our VideoRay Pro line, our most popular model for commercial or demanding applications. It includes the submersible, integrated control box, 76 m (250 ft) of tether on Tether Deployment System reel, manual, two watertight, rolling Pelican cases, and tool kit. The Pro III XE is depth rated to 152 m (500 ft). Standard features that go beyond those offered on the Scout and Explorer include high thrust 60 mm props, on-screen data display, black and white, ultra low light rear facing camera with LED light array, audio annotation system, and an integrated control box. The integrated control box is equipped with a large 15 inch picture-in-picture display that will display both video and a computer screen simultaneously in either PAL or NTSC. It also includes a new sunshade and tilt adjustment arm for ergonomic use in bright sunlight. The Pro III XE is also PC computer control enabled, allowing operators to control the Pro III XE using included wired or wireless game controllers with a user-supplied laptop computer. The Pro III XE can even be controlled by software applications or remotely via a network.

The Pro III XE can easily accommodate recording devices, modular instrumentation and tools such as: scanning imaging sonar for low visibility environments; manipulator for object retrieval or intervention; positioning system for exhaustive area searches; water quality sensor, metal thickness gauge, and more. Pro III XE units can accommodate additional neutrally buoyant, negatively buoyant, or positively buoyant tether extensions to reach up to 305 m (1,000 ft) in overall distance but limited to 152 m (500 ft) in water depth. Included is an inverter for operation using a 12 volt power source such as a car battery.

For applications requiring more thrust, the Pro III XE can be upgraded with the Greater Thrust Option (GTO).
