Getting Started

Rayfin

SubC Software autodetects Rayfin cameras that are connected to your network and displays them in a list for easy selection and connection. You can remotely interact with and adjust your Rayfin cameras using Rayfin Controls presented in the SubC RCS / DVR+ / SCI Software user interface.
See Inputs → Rayfin and Menu for multiple Rayfin feature options.

Record

SubC Software Recording feature is an advanced media management solution capable of recording HD/SD video channels plus audio feeds and taking video frame still shots.
See Menu → Recording.

Overlay

SubC Overlay feature is an advanced, dynamic graphical element that allows you to place Text, Recording Timer, Date/Time, Logo, Shapes, and incoming Data such as depth, altimeter, and heading with the video. Each video, (with or without Overlay applied) can be output on its own channel as a composite or HD/SD video for easy transmission.

Overlay data and video settings are continually saved as they are created in C:\SubC DVR+ v7\Settings\Overlay [1-6] files (DVR+ [1-6] corresponding to each input channel / SCI has 1 input channel) as a safeguard to preserve your work during unexpected events, such as network, communications, or power outage and will reload when the DVR+ / SCI application reopens.

Overlays are also intended to be saved as templates. SubC recommends saving your overlay templates in another system folder to be reused by loading them into new video inputs.

See Menu → Overlay.

Data I/ O

SubC applications provide the option of getting Data Inputs from Rayfin Cameras and other applications or devices, such as those reporting EXIF (metadata about an image, including camera settings, date and time, depth, altitude and GPS location information) and other environment sensor data (water temperature, depth, etc.). This data can be saved to the Still image file &/or displayed as Data Overlay, which can also be save in the Recording video files (Topside storage only).

You can also Output data that you are taking into the SubC application to other systems.
See Menu → Data I/O

Eventing

SubC DVR+ now includes a new Eventing feature to provide your teams with the ability to capture events and objects observed during Inspections.
See Operation → Eventing

Blackbox

SubC DVR+ Blackbox feature allows you to capture a backup copy of an initialized video channel. The Blackbox can be configured with a maximum amount of disk space that it will not exceed. As the allocated Blackbox disk space becomes near full, the oldest video files will be deleted as new ones are created.
See Menu → Blackbox Settings and Media Capture Wizard for Blackbox configuration.

Inspect

SubC Inspector is a companion desktop software application that is available with SubC application. SubC Inspector connects to the SubC application over the HTTP protocol to allow for remote control operations such as inspections/surveys, dive planning and event logging. See SubC Inspector

The new DVR+ Eventing feature replaces the SubC Inspector companion application. SubC Inspector will be retired in Q2 2027.
See Operation → Eventing

Stream

SubC Imaging’s Real-Time Streaming Solution is an optional additional feature that integrates with the SubC RCS / DVR+ / SCI desktop applications. SubC Streaming allows source video to be streamed live over an internet connection and is then accessible anywhere in the world.
See Menu → Streaming
