MCS' application suite "ROV Platform Commander" is a complete solution for all types of platform and subsea asset inspections.

The suite provides data acquisition, eventing, digital video, processing, charting, and reporting modules that presents a more comprehensive, integrated, and easy to use platform inspection database system.

ROV Platform Commander comprises the following modules:

Online Eventing Module: This module controls the recording of events and links it to the digital video ROV Platform Commander Viewer: This is a user friendly program by which the user can browse all inspection data by few clicks MCS' Platform Commander has been used to inspect more than 300 platforms worldwide.

The MCS Video Lite system is a simplified video capture tool designed for small jobs that have single camera needs and is the perfect replacement for DVD recorders. The system records NTSC/PAL video from ROV/Diver cameras at remarkably reduced file-sizes maintaining high quality video and efficiently managing high volumes data. The system comprises four applications:

• Video Lite/DVE Application:
  This module captures the ROV camera and cotrols the digital recording processes
  
  
• Video Controller Application:
  Controls the Video Lite Application, Start/Stop Recording and selects the resolution required and acts as a monitoring tool to give warning alerts when video file sizes or disk free-space reach allocated thresholds.
  
  
• Auto Backup Application:
  Automatically back up recorded videos in designated primary, secondary, and even tertiary storage destinations.
  
  
• Video Player: :
  A digital video viewer application where videos may be filtered by date/time (also played in Windows Media Player).
  

Some benefits of using Video Lite are:

• Significantly reducing file sizes. Files on average, are 15-20% of other video software file sizes going from approximately 2,000 MB/hour down to 300 MB/hour or even less at PAL resolution. This significant reduction in video file size allows the video to be rapidly available around a network reducing latency and increasing efficiency for reporting operations.
  
  
• Frequently replenishing high-capacity RAID-type mass storage devices is not required reducing costs by as much as 4-5 times and minimizing operational interruptions.
  
  
• Risk of data loss is significantly minimized via data redundancy as Video files are copied to Secondary storage devices.
  
  
• By combining the application with a simple spreadsheet it makes for the most expedient and simplest way of recording and eventing small scale, visual inspection projects.

MCS Video Broadcaster...

The MCS Video Broadcaster is an excellent tool to keep a realtime eye on your field operations. With advanced high-compression video broadcasting capability this tool allows clients to monitor their operations as seen by the camera on the ROV in realtime.

The following additional capabilities are provided in conjunction with the MCS software and services listed above:

• Data Processing and Management:
  We have the full capability of processing and reporting all collected data including captured videos and all other sensor information to produce reports in any format including GIS deliverables. Our unique capability of producing 2-4 times smaller video files for the same video time recorded by competition and viewing multiple surveys including past records in real time makes us the leaders in this aspect.
  
  
• Certified Inspection Coordinators:
  Together with our inspection solutions we also provide a pool of professionals including CSWIP certified inspection engineers and coordinators with significant project experience in both the GoM and overseas.
  
  
• HD Video:
  We have the capability to support all HD video capture, overlay and broadcasting aspects for single or three camera integrated solutions. Our reduced files sizes but maintained quality allow these files to be transmitted digitally to shore.
  
  
• Video Telemetry:
  By using the HLI "V-TEL" in-house video-telemetry system we also offer a superior local video telemetry broadcast system to transmit video between vessels & platforms in the field. This system enables other working spreads to view video activities as occuring on remote vessels. We have a proven record of transmitting video to 26+ km in the GoM.
