In the world of underwater imaging, clarity, reliability, and real-time access to footage are essential for professionals. Whether you’re broadcasting a sporting event, inspecting infrastructure, training divers, or capturing stunning marine visuals for film, the tools you use matter. That’s where the Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit marks a major leap forward — as the world’s first underwater camera system to utilise DisplayPort for live, high-resolution video directly from an action camera.
Why DisplayPort Matters
DisplayPort is a high-performance video output standard typically used in computing and professional video systems. It offers higher bandwidth, uncompressed video, and support for resolutions up to 4K and beyond — all over a single USB-C connection.
In action camera systems, DisplayPort opens up new possibilities for live video workflows, making it easier than ever to get crisp, real-time footage onto a larger screen or computer for monitoring, analysis, recording, or streaming.
A World-First in Underwater Video Systems
The Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit is the first of its kind to harness this powerful video output standard for underwater use. It enables the DJI Action 5 Pro — the first action camera to support DisplayPort over USB-C — to deliver a high-resolution, hardwired feed to a TV, monitor, or computer.
At the core of the kit is the Seavu Media Cable — a 15-metre fibre-optic USB-C cable that delivers:
-
DisplayPort video output (up to 4K)
-
Power delivery to the camera
-
Stable, uncompressed video transmission
-
A simplified and professional underwater setup
Built for Real-World Professional Use
The Explorer+ Pro Kit was engineered for performance in real-world underwater environments. Whether you’re on a boat, dock, or poolside, this kit allows for long-duration viewing and capture without needing to recharge or manage wireless signals.
It’s ideal for:
-
Live underwater event coverage
-
Commercial inspections
-
Scientific research
-
Dive training and demonstrations
-
Underwater filmmaking and documentaries
Multiple Viewing Options
With built-in DisplayPort output, the Explorer+ Pro Kit allows for:
-
Direct connection to a TV or monitor using the included DisplayPort HDMI Adapter (with PD)
-
Connection to a computer for livestreaming or recording (via optional 4K Video Capture Card) using software like OBS, VLC, or Zoom
For advanced setups, the HDMI output can be routed into video switchers (e.g. Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro) or HDMI to SDI converters, offering full compatibility with broadcast-grade systems.
What Makes It Unique
-
DisplayPort output support — currently exclusive to the DJI Action 5 Pro
-
Hardwired underwater connection via fibre-optic USB-C cable
-
Continuous camera power delivery during use
-
High-quality 4K video feed to a variety of devices
-
Cable reel for clean storage and deployment
-
Professional mounting options for fixed-position use
DisplayPort in Action Cameras: The Beginning of a New Era
The DJI Action 5 Pro, released in September 2024, is the first action camera to support DisplayPort over USB-C. The Explorer+ Pro Kit is the first camera system in the world to take advantage of this capability in an underwater setting — opening the door to new levels of quality and reliability for real-time underwater viewing.
As DisplayPort becomes more common in future action cameras, the Explorer+ Pro Kit is already ready — future-proofed for professionals demanding the very best.
Conclusion
The Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit redefines what’s possible for underwater filming and monitoring. It combines industry-first DisplayPort support, continuous power delivery, and real-time high-resolution output in a compact, reliable system. For professionals in events, research, inspection, or film — this is the underwater solution you’ve been waiting for.
