2. Co-Marketing Agreement
VideoRay and WFS announce a formal
co-marketing agreement to jointly
promote their Pro 4 seatooth®
wirelessly-enabled data gathering
system today.The new partnership will
enable low cost and low risk
underwater ROV based wireless data
gathering.

3. • Partnership brings together two global
leaders in underwater technology
• VideoRay: largest volume producer
of underwater ROVs in the world
• WFS: global leader in delivery of
subsea wireless instrumentation and
control solutions to the Offshore Oil
& Gas and Renewable Energy
industries

4. Pro 4 ROV
• VideoRay Pro 4, the most
advanced, capable, and versatile
small Remotely Operated Vehicle
(ROV) on the market today.
Accessories are “plug and play”.
• Pro 4 ROV can accommodate
lightweight instrumentation so the
s100 modem is easily attached to
the vehicle without compromising
buoyancy or hydrodynamics.

5. Pro 4 seatooth®
• Pro 4 seatooth®: vehicle + s100
compact wireless modem from WFS
• Standard comms Interfaces for “plug
& play”
• Once system is submerged and
piloted near data source, the
wirelessly retrieved data is either
sent to the surface real time via the
ROV’s umbilical or can be logged in
the s100’s internal memory.

6. VideoRay Pro 4
The VideoRay Pro 4 has a host of advanced internal features
that position it above other vehicles in its class;
• 3D tilt compensated compass,
• Accelerometer,
• MEMS Gyro
• internal leak alarm
• internal temperature gauge
• real time volt meter
• depth readout.
• These features are designed to make the pilot's life easier and
give advance warning in the case of an issue with the vehicle.
