In credentials for a systematic investigate plan next year, a Toshiba IK-HD1 camera has been successfully tested to a height of 4,300m (14,000ft).

The assessment took place in the Atlantic Ocean, off the Canary Islands, from a specifically propitious investigate liner sailing from Lisbon, Portugal. It entangled contrast various types of lighting systems to work in conjunction with the Toshiba camera.

All components were commissioned in to a titanium housing propitious with a dock consisting of a 25mm thick inhibit of optically prosaic glass, to be able to hoop underwater pressures of 421 club (6114 psi). The total assembly, inclusive the lighting system, was lowered on a supply to inlet of around 4,300m.

The HD images constructed uncover a immaculate steel weight dangling from the supply to guess its stretch from the sea floor. The weight is seen bouncing along the sea building as waves pierce the investigate liner back on the surface.

Nigel Paine, handling executive of SeeSense, a tiny POV camera company, granted the Toshiba camera, cable, lens and recorder. An HD shave from the recording may be noticed on line from the SeeSense website .

Paine mentioned the footage constructed demonstrates only how great the Toshiba IK-HD1 3-CCD camera attraction is notwithstanding its size, particularly at these impassioned depths.

"The clearness of the images is demonstrated by the assessment supply bottoming out on the sea floor. Individual grains of sand may be seen influenced up from the sea building together with a square of coral being damaged off by the immaculate steel weight," he said.

This low underwater success follows the Toshiba Space Chair plan - an public notice compelling Toshiba's Regza radio - that was constructed and announce in 2009-2010. In the origination of this advertisement, Toshiba IK-HR1S 1/3in 1-CMOS HD cameras were used to create HD footage of an armchair dangling from a continue balloon.

For this project, the cameras achieved an rgreat heights of roughly 30,000me (99,268ft).
