Teledyne Impulse-PDM 以其高性能互连解决方案而闻名，它为 BBC Studios 即将推出的水下自然历史系列节目提供了 Omicron 光纤连接器，该系列节目将于 2026 年首播。该系列节目采用突破性的摄像技术，专为捕捉北极深处令人惊叹的海洋生物而定制，并得到 Rev Ocean 的 Aurora ROV 的支持。 

为了捕捉开创性的水下内容，BBC Studios 和 Marine Imagine Technologies 设计了一套深海级摄像系统，该系统集成了遥测瓶，遥测瓶是潜水器上的中央通信枢纽。然而，在北极探险期间，由于缺少光纤连接器，船员在将摄像系统连接到 ROV 的遥测瓶时遇到了挑战，而光纤连接器对于建立系统通信至关重要。没有这个关键部件，团队在拍摄水下镜头时会面临相当大的延迟。

BBC 工作室伸出了援手，Teledyne Impulse-PDM迅速提供了 Omicron 5030/5070 光纤连接器，可在苛刻的环境中提供高性能光纤连接。

具有挑战性的条件

Omicron 连接器适用于单模和多模操作，是 BBC Studios 深海应用和Aurora ROV 系统严格要求的理想选择。尽管时间紧迫，但 Teledyne Impulse-PDM 仍能将连接器快递到斯瓦尔巴群岛，使 BBC Studios 研究团队能够继续执行任务。

BBC 制作团队对 Teledyne Impulse-PDM 的及时支持表示赞赏，并表示：“Teledyne 的 Omicron 连接器对于确保我们的项目顺利进行至关重要，如果没有 Teledyne 团队的快速反应，我们就无法及时拍摄。”

Teledyne Impulse-PDM 业务运营主管 Carolyn Jones 在评论该项目时表示：“我们很高兴能够支持 BBC Studios 捕捉世界自然奇观。我们的 Omicron 连接器专为在深海探索的严苛条件下可靠运行而设计，我们很自豪我们的技术在确保这一非凡项目按计划完成方面发挥了作用。”

此次合作凸显了 Teledyne Impulse-PDM 在水下通信技术方面的专业知识。该公司专门设计和制造用于具有挑战性环境的可靠电气和光学互连系统。他们的产品用于各种应用，从海洋勘探和防御到海上能源、医疗设备、核系统和废水管理，在苛刻的条件下表现出一致的性能。

Teledyne Impulse-PDM, renowned for its high-performance interconnect solutions, has provided Omicron optical fibre connectors to BBC Studios for their upcoming underwater natural history series, premiering in 2026. The series features groundbreaking camera technology, custom-built to capture stunning marine life in the Arctic’s depths, with the support of Rev Ocean’s Aurora ROV. 

To capture groundbreaking underwater content, BBC Studios and Marine Imagine Technologies designed a deep-ocean-rated camera system integrated with a telemetry bottle, the central hub for communications on the submersible. However, during the Arctic expedition, the crew encountered challenges connecting the camera system to the ROV’s telemetry bottle due to a missing optical fibre connector, critical for establishing communications for the system. Without this essential part, the team faced a considerable delay in capturing underwater footage.

BBC Studios reached out from their expedition for support and Teledyne Impulse-PDM rapidly supplied the Omicron 5030/5070 optical connectors, which deliver high-performance fibre connectivity in demanding environments.

Challenging conditions

Suitable for both single-mode and multi-mode operation, Omicron connectors were ideal for the BBC Studios deep-sea application and the stringent requirements of the Aurora ROV system. Despite a tight timeline, Teledyne Impulse-PDM was able to courier the connector to Svalbard, enabling the BBC Studios research crew to proceed with their mission.

The BBC production team praised Teledyne Impulse-PDM’s prompt support, stating: “Teledyne’s Omicron connectors were integral to keeping our project on track, and without the Teledyne team’s quick response we would not have been able to film in time.”

Commenting on the project, Carolyn Jones, head of business operations for Teledyne Impulse-PDM, said: “We’re delighted to support BBC Studios in their quest to capture the world’s natural wonders. Our Omicron connectors are specifically designed to perform reliably in the challenging conditions of deep-sea exploration, and we’re proud that our technology played a role in keeping this extraordinary project on schedule.”

This collaboration highlights Teledyne Impulse-PDM’s expertise in underwater communication technologies. The company specializes in designing and manufacturing reliable electrical and optical interconnection systems for use in challenging environments. Their products are used in diverse applications, ranging from oceanographic exploration and defence to offshore energy, medical devices, nuclear systems and wastewater management, demonstrating consistent performance under demanding conditions.
