The VideoRay Pro 4 enhances VideoRay’s position as the fastest and most powerful tether pulling vehicle, with deeper depth rating, hydrodynamic improvements, brushless thrusters and significant improvements to the cameras and lighting.
The Pro 4 submersible features more than twice the vertical thrust of the Pro 3, and 50% greater horizontal thrust. A depth rating of 300 meters is standard. Improvements in the electronics allow for both greater total tether length (up to 600 meters) and much better power transmission over longer tethers. New sensors, including a 3D compass and MEMS gyro improve navigational capabilities. The primary video camera features ultra low light and Wide Dynamic Range, and coupled with the very high intensity LED lighting, the video and stills that can be captured are far clearer - particularly in difficult lighting conditions. A second externally mounted and fully adjustable camera is also included.
The Pro 4 is part of an industry-wide initiative led by VideoRay (the largest volume ROV manufacturer in the world) to go beyond separate “point” technology solutions to a “systems” approach to solving underwater tasks. The Pro 4 series ROVs will be sold in configurations such as the PS (Port Security Configuration) and CD (Commercial Dive Configuration) designed to solve a specific or series of underwater tasks, with VideoRay providing single solutions across the many technologies involved. Systems will be delivered with single-source documentation, training, maintenance, and repair. Users will be able to concentrate on their underwater missions without concern about how one component is cabled to another, or which is documented where.

Pro 4 PS300XL - Port Security
The Pro 4 PS300XL has been specifically configured for Port Security Professionals to quickly and effectively perform a variety of inspection tasks. It builds off the Pro 4 PS300SE by integrating the drop and go Smart Tether Positioning System along with the BlueView ProViewer P-900 Imaging Sonar. Mated with the sub, these components comprise one of the most potent and effective underwater inspection / search and recovery tools available. This system also includes a single function micro manipulator, and Lyyn Hawk video enhancement.
High Efficiency Brushless Thrusters
The VideoRay Pro 4’s highly efficient brushless thrusters deliver unparalleled performance and reliability, producing the highest thrust-to-vehicle weight and thrust-to-drag ratios in the industry. Enhanced vertical thrust and pitch-enhanced dive and surface modes get you to and from your working depth quickly, while the ducted hydrodynamic float maximizes efficiency and allows for optimal ROV stabilization.
Motor controllers are tuned for lightning-fast responsiveness. In conjunction with joystick sensitivity and independently adjustable gain these features ensures precision handling and the dexterity to position and hold the ROV exactly where you need it.
Camera Systems
The VideoRay Pro 4 is equipped with 2 high resolution color cameras. The main camera is located in the forward pressure hull and the second camera can be positioned on top of or underneath the ROV facing in any direction. The forward camera tilts 180 degrees while the second camera tilts 180 degrees and pans 360 degrees providing fully immersive feedback.
Both cameras are equipped with wide dynamic range and backlight compensation to give you the most detailed pictures even in difficult lighting situations. The cameras are optimized for underwater use and offer 0.0001 lux ultra low-light sensitivity by including automatic or manual switching between color and black and white modes. There are more than 20 user controllable settings that can be managed from the surface including an automatic shutter and digital zoom capabilities.
Ultra High Intensity LED Lighting
Industry leading LED lighting provides 3,600 lumens of light with a "turbo boost" option that can kick it up to more than 5,700 lumens if necessary.
The forward light reflectors have been engineered to distribute the light evenly throughout the camera tilt range. Lights are positioned outside the main pressure hull to provide the greatest separation from the camera. Separation is extremely important in minimizing backscatter which is the reflection of waves, particles, or signals back to the underwater camera.
Internal Sensors
The VideoRay Pro 4 includes enhanced navigation features including a 3D Compass, accelerometer, and a MEMS Rate GYRO for true auto heading and auto pitch.
The VideoRay Pro 4’s internal sensors can detect vital information including temperature and moisture (in the unfortunate event of a leak). This proactive information can be essential in reducing downtime while keeping the mission going.
Ergonomic 12 Button Hand Controller
Intuitive and ergonomic VideoRay controls allow you to pilot the ROV instinctively and comfortably. No specialized training is required for basic operations.
Complete ROV control, including recording of still images and video is available through the hand controller. Additional functions and custom configurations can be added using the programmable feature of the 12-button industrial hand controller.
Hydrodynamics
The VideoRay Pro 4 features a hydrodynamic float block which provides superior stability in high current and enhances maneuverability with a large payload.
Integrated MIL SPEC Toughbook PC
The VideoRay Pro 4 is integrated with a rugged MIL SPEC (Military Specification) Toughbook PC that performs a multitude of critical functions. Not only is it the heart of the control box, it performs as a second monitor along with the integrated 15 inch color display, controls all sensor and accessory functions, runs the PC Pilot software, captures and stores digital MPEG or WMV formatted video and photographic still JPEGS, and allows the user to customize the piloting experience. The communications protocol to the submersible is RS-485. The PC fits neatly into the rugged Pelican 1550 case and can operate independantly if needed.
