[PSUBS-MAILIST] Virtual Viewports

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

While I am at it Cliff,
if you are using a standard camera in a housing & it has
infrared controls on it, you can take the transmitter led out of the control
unit & fix it so it is eyeballing the receiver unit on the camera, then extend the 
wires back to the transmitter inside the hull.
I learnt that trick off someone who uses it commercially.

I am interested in what experience we have collectively on using subsea cameras and displaying monitor as virtual viewports.  Has any one commissioned one of these cameras?  What brand and model did you use and what HMI or monitor did you use?  Has it worked?  What has worked well and what whould do differently on your next boat?
