Operator Control ConsoleThe Operator Control Console provides power, communications and a video interface between the surface and the ROV through the tether. The computer, which runs VideoRay Cockpit software to control the ROV, is housed in the Operator Control Console along with a second display monitor .
Operator Control Console Power SpecificationsThe VideoRay Pro 4 operates on typical residential power in the range of 100-240 Volts AC, 50,60 Hz. This can be provided from the land-based grid, a generator, or a battery with an inverter (optional). The typical power requirements for operating from a generator or inverter are 800 Watts continuous minimum. The system includes a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) / Circuit Breaker to protect the operator. There are two universal IEC power outlets on the back of the Operator Control Console. These outlets are protected by the GFCI. The GFCI must be on to use these outlets, but the Operator Control Console power switch does not need to be on. The power in the tether is 74 Volts DC. This circuit is protected by a LIM (Line Insulation Monitor). The procedures for testing the circuit safety components can be found in the Pre-Dive Preparations section of the Quick Start Instructions.
Display Monitor Tilt ArmFor systems equipped with a second monitor, the Display Monitor Tilt Arm on the left side of the Operator Control Console can be used to adjust the angle of the Operator Control Console lid and monitor. To adjust the angle of the monitor, loosen the locking collar, adjust the lid to the desired angle and tighten the locking collar.

Computer models may vary depending upon purchased configuration, and the second monitor is optional.
