PBS News – featuring the SubC 1Cam and Aquorea LED

This interesting video shows the 1Cam and LEDs at 6:20 through. Note that they say the camera system had issues, however it was the system as a whole, not the components that SubC manufactured and delivered. SubC has helped UW correct the issues, even though not related to our components.

From Ben Brand at the university of Washington: “The camera itself did not have a problem. We never told them that it did. It was the camera system as a whole that stopped working, caused by the MCBH connectors on the main pressure case. It’s an unfortunate wording on their part since I guess they didn’t want to go into that much detail. We’re sorry that it came across this way.”

Regardless, we are happy that the project is a success and it should turn out some great science.
