Custom-designed for professional live production, underwater events, inspections, research, and filmmaking, the Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit is the world’s first underwater DisplayPort camera kit — enabling high-performance connectivity from your action camera directly to a TV, monitor, chartplotter, or computer, while delivering uncompressed underwater video and continuous power through a single cable. It opens up workflows previously only possible with broadcast-grade systems.
At the core of the kit is the Seavu Media Cable — a purpose-built, high-grade 15m fibre-optic USB-C cable that supports DisplayPort output while also supplying power to the camera for uninterrupted underwater viewing, recording, and broadcasting.
DisplayPort is a high-performance video output standard that enables direct connection to external displays, such as TVs and monitors, for uncompressed, high-resolution video. While long used in computing, DisplayPort output is a new feature in action cameras — first introduced with the DJI Action 5 Pro in September 2024. The Explorer+ Pro Kit is the world’s first system to harness this capability for underwater use — enabling high-quality live viewing and recording directly from beneath the surface.
The Explorer+ Pro Kit offers flexible video output options to suit a wide range of setups:
- TVs & Monitors:
To connect to a TV or monitor (via HDMI), simply use the included DisplayPort HDMI Adapter (with PD). Your camera can simultaneously record footage to its internal SD card while outputting live video. - Chartplotters:
Chartplotters with HDMI input (e.g. Lowrance HDS-12 Live, Simrad NSS 4) connect directly via the included DisplayPort HDMI Adapter. For chartplotters without HDMI, use an optional RCA adapter (Simrad 8-pin or Lowrance 7-pin). Your camera can simultaneously record footage to its internal SD card while outputting live video. - Computers:
To connect to a computer, an optional video capture card is required. This enables recording or livestreaming in up to 4K resolution using software such as OBS or VLC. - Professional Workflows:
The HDMI signal can also be connected directly to video switchers (such as the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro) or HDMI to SDI converters (like the Blackmagic Micro Converter) — no capture card required in these setups.
With nothing else like it on the market, the Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit delivers a stable, high-quality, continuous underwater feed with extended runtime — making it ideal for critical professional workflows where quality and reliability matter most.
Please note: Depending on your setup, one or more USB-C chargers and cables may be required. Camera, computer, chartplotter, monitor, and TV not included.
Perfect for:
Underwater events, inspections, research, and professional filming where a stable, high-quality video feed is critical. The Explorer+ Pro Kit is designed for those who need continuous power and uncompressed video — whether you’re livestreaming, recording, or monitoring in real time.
