Innovative camera system developed for Sprint vehicle

A new inspection system for the Sprint 101 ROV eliminates parallax errors because all three camera modules use a single lens for viewing. Parallax is the apparent displacement of an object when it is viewed from two points not in the same line of sight. The central camera is a Pentax 35-mm single lens reflex with a 28-mm lens. It comes with 250-shot film cassettes, an automatic film wind-on, and a data chamber display. An optical transfer assembly on the stills camera viewfinder transmits the image to one of the two video camera modules. The video picture transmitted to the surface is exactly the same as the stills photo. The surface operator can adjust the focus by viewing the video display.
