EMS-SRS3000 Deep-Sea Photo System

The EMS-SRS3000 Deep-Sea Photo System was developed and constructed especially for the Royal Captain project and according to its needs. On the very same dive it had to be able to produce vertical orientated mosaic photo series with photogrammetrical precision, close-ups of artefacts in situ as well as wide-angle landscapes of the excavation scenery and submersible action. Due to the site lying in the depth zone of total darkness the camera system had to be equipped with powerful electronic flash units and be capable of working within parameters that could change at any time. The result was a high-performance photo-studio, which is manually controlled by the photographer from inside the cabin of the deep rover submersible via a laptop computer and a special power and laser control panel.
