Remote-Control Color Zoom/Pan/Tilt Camera

Using a COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) video camera mounted on a pan/tilt mechanism, this optional camera combines remote-control zoom, pan and tilt, with automatic focus and automatic aperture control. It gives a selectable view separate from the other cameras, and can provide a record of the events on video cassette.

Zoom Option on any Camera

Although we recommend against it, we can provide the driving camera and/or the hand camera with zoom.

Color Option on any b/w Camera

If desired we can provide any or all of the three regular cameras in color.

Halogen Floodlight

Possibly useful for viewing by human eyes but not required for the video cameras - they have built-in LED floodlights and produce good images at very low light levels. This floodlight also draws extra current from the vehicle battery and will reduce run time before recharging.

Carrier for X-Ray Source, plus Holder for 8 x 10" X-Ray Film Cassette

For taking X-rays of objects remotely, MURV-100 places Film Holder behind object, aims X-ray source in Carrier, triggers it via remote firing circuit, then brings Film Holder back to operator. Recommended X-ray sources are Golden Engineering's XR-150 or XR-200.

15" Flat-Panel Video Monitor in Hardcase for Control Console

This accessory adds a Pelican Hardcase to house the Control Console (provided with the vehicle on Page 1) and a 15-inch Flat-Panel Color Video Monitor for razor-sharp viewing. Also incorporates antenna plugs to connect video and control antennas.

Quad Video Display Option

This option lets the operator toggles a switch to show either four images or one image on the monitor. In the "4" position, the views from all four robot cameras appear on the monitor at the same time; In the "1" position only one camera's view is seen, with the viewing camera selected by the "Camera Select" switch in the normal manner.
