Explorer+ Pro Kit System DiagramUnderwater video technology has taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of DisplayPort capabilities beneath the surface. The Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit is the worldโs first underwater camera system to utilise DisplayPort for live video output โ providing professionals with a powerful new way to stream, monitor, and record footage in real time with stunning clarity.
Whether you’re documenting marine life, performing inspections, or live broadcasting underwater events, the Explorer+ Pro Kit empowers you to capture crystal-clear footage and view it instantly on any compatible screen.
What Is DisplayPort โ and Why Does It Matter Underwater?
DisplayPort isnโt new โ itโs been widely used in high-resolution displays and professional video gear for over a decade. Known for its uncompressed 4K video output, ultra-low latency, and ability to transmit both video and power, itโs a favourite among content creators and tech professionals.
But until recently, DisplayPort had never been available in action cameras โ and certainly not for underwater use.
That changed with the DJI Action 5 Pro, the first action camera to offer native DisplayPort video output via USB-C. And with the Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit, that signal can now be streamed directly from underwater to any monitor, TV, or capture device.
This is a game-changer for professionals who need:
- Live underwater monitoring
- High-resolution broadcast feeds
- Long-duration filming with continuous power
- A hardwired video connection without signal dropouts
Itโs a new era for underwater production โ and Seavu is leading the way.
How It Works
At the heart of the Explorer+ Pro Kit is the Media Cable โ a custom 15m fibre-reinforced USB-C cable that carries both power and DisplayPort video through a single waterproof connection.
The signal runs to a DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter, which can be connected to:
- A TV or monitor for live viewing
- A capture card for recording or streaming
- A wireless HDMI transmitter (like the Hollyland Pyro H) for remote viewing
- A chartplotter or onboard screen with HDMI input
All while delivering continuous power to the camera.
Built for Professional Setups
The Explorer+ Pro Kit is purpose-built for commercial, scientific, and production workflows. It supports:
- DisplayPort HDMI Adapter
Converts USB-C DisplayPort to HDMI โ ideal for TVs, monitors, and recorders. - 45W+ USB-C PD Charger
Powers both the camera and adapter for long sessions. - Optional HDMI Fibre Cable or Splitter
Extend viewing distances or mirror your feed to multiple displays โ perfect for film crews, boat operators, and research teams.
Powered by DisplayPort: Best with DJI Action 5 Pro
The DJI Action 5 Pro is currently the only action camera on the market with native DisplayPort video output โ making it the first model compatible with the Seavu Explorer+ Pro Kit.
The kit includes a USB-C DisplayPort to HDMI adapter with Power Delivery (PD-in), enabling both uncompressed 4K video output and continuous power through a single waterproof USB-C connection. With the right USB-C PD charger, the system can deliver up to 2 weeks of non-stop streaming โ ideal for extended filming, live events, or long-term underwater observation.
The Action 5 Pro delivers:
- Crisp 4K video output
- Excellent low-light performance
- Built-in memory for backup recording
- Extended battery life
We expect future DJI models to continue supporting DisplayPort โ and itโs highly likely GoPro will follow suit as the industry moves toward higher-quality, hardwired video output. The Explorer+ Pro Kit is designed to be future-ready for both current and upcoming action camera technologies.
Perfect for:
- Marine research requiring live data and footage
- Underwater inspections where detail and accuracy matter
- Event production showcasing underwater action live
- Film and TV needing a direct-to-monitor underwater feed
- Tourism operators streaming what’s happening below deck
Why Itโs a Game Changer
The Explorer+ Pro Kit removes the guesswork from underwater filming. No delays. No waiting to review files after surfacing. Just real-time, professional-grade footage โ live, sharp, and uninterrupted.
Itโs the first system to bring DisplayPort underwater โ and itโs built to perform when it matters most.
