June 2012: Achtel Pty Limited shows the first 3D underwater housing able to record undistorted and sharp images in 3D. What is unique about our "3Deep" (3D) and "DeepX" (2D) housings is that, we believe for the first time, we can now avoid any of the usual degradation of images from shooting through flat or dome ports. In our tests, these systems typically degrade the image to less than standard definition in the corners. The Nikonos lenses we're using were, of course, specifically designed for underwater use and they actually out-resolve the 5k RED Epic sensor across the entire frame: even the edges of our images are now pin-sharp. |
