VideoRay Joins with LYYN AB to Deliver Revolutionary Video Enhancement
New technology “sees” in real time through cloudy water
VideoRay LLC, of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, announced an agreement today with LYYN AB of Lund, Sweden. The agreement enables VideoRay users – both of existing and newly purchased systems – access to new video clarification technology. The LYYN T38 processes the video image captures by VideoRay submersibles to remove the “fog” of murky water and reveal the objects and targets that have previously been difficult or impossible to detect and recognize.
VideoRay expert Steven Borthwick of Subsea ROV Services based in Falkirk, Scotland, used the T38 on a recent inside a coal-fired power plant. The water in the tunnels was so muddy that no usable video was available without the T38. However, using the T38 images of mussels and silt buildup were clear, as was sufficient detail to show that drawings from 1962 were an accurate depiction of the tunnel network.
“Without the LYYN™ technology we would not have been able to complete this job to anywhere near the level of completeness and precision” said Mr. Borthwick. “No one at the power station had ever seen what it looked like, and now they can arrange for a proper cleanup – without endangering divers for an inspection.”
LYYN™ receives 7 million SEK (about 1MUSD) cash injection from Östersjöstiftelsen
“We are extremely pleased to welcome Östersjöstiftelsen (The Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies) as a new owner in LYYN. With Östersjöstiftelsen’s cash injection and their experience in developing companies in a similar phase to ours, we see a very bright future.
We released our first product, LYYN T38, in November last year. This has been well received by the market, especially within the offshore and submarine technology areas. Since then we have recruited over 20 resellers throughout the world, and several more are in the queue. This means that LYYN™ needs to grow quickly which in turn requires a stronger capital base.
In addition to increased marketing investments we are also initiating the development of our next generation products, which will be adapted to the requirements of the surveillance industry, thereby opening up new, interesting markets for us.” Says LYYN’s CEO Andreas Ekengren.
”Augmenta Venture Partners has followed LYYN™ on its exciting journey from an early stage to today’s breakthrough. Now the company is growing from ”seed stage” and needs to increase its activities. We therefore welcome Östersjöstiftelsen as a new long-term shareholder in LYYN.” Concludes Mats Cremon, Chairman of the Board of LYYN.
”LYYN™ is an exciting innovation company that is at a stage that fits in well with our investment strategies. As in every other project there is a high risk but the market potential is very great. This adds up to an extremely interesting investment.” Says Per-Olof Edin at Östersjöstiftelsen.
”Recently we presented our various line of products including LYYN. The customer and I were very impressed by the LYYN.
While operating in the water we had the LYYN™ plugged into one of our systems and not the other. I found navigating with the LYYN™ remarkable with the increased colour and contrast. Navigating without the LYYN™ was far more difficult.
This was our first real in water experience using the LYYN™ with our products and it is very impressive.”

”For LYYN, this phase of rapid expansion is a milestone. With our new addition of resellers, we are well under way to reach a good market coverage. The addition of partners in Asia and Australia is critical for us, as is our local presence in the Gulf of Mexico. We’re focusing hard on supporting our resellers, as ’all business is local’. To us this indicates that we’re doing something right, and that the LYYN T38 is actually working well in offshore environments.
User feedback strongly indicates that LYYN T38 performs really well, increasing the productivity in sub sea tasks. This is especially true in close-range inspection work, where instead of aborting a dive due to lack of visibility (waiting for visibility to clear), a vessel can stay on site and complete a project.”
Andreas Ekengren, Managing Director LYYN AB
“Advanced Marine are pleased to represent LYYN™ in the Marine Offshore arena of ASEAN Nations especially their new T38 real time video enhancer. This product greatly improves colour video signals in a real time atmosphere allowing ROVs or Divers to get video documentation in silty or low visibility situations. We are excited by the response we are already getting from our customers.”
Jeff Bradford, Managing Director,
Advanced Marine Pte Ltd
“We believe the LYYN™ system will offer significant enhancements to the ability of both divers and ROV’s in the commercial and military arenas. The “”lyynification™” video enhancement will improve efficiency, reduce error and most significantly enhance the safety of the diver in low visibility conditions. The advantages to oilfield operations, search and rescue and military operations will be significant, and we look forward to offering the system to existing and new clients in these arenas.”
Doug Austin, Managing Director,
Divex Asia Pacific Pty Ltd
”This unique and specialized product fits immediately into our line of products. We were first introduced to the LYYN™ technology at the Underwater Intervention 2007, and the market response to the T38 has been great.
As we supply and service many of the sub sea contractors operating in the Gulf, the possibility to clear up bad visibility in real-time video is great. The Gulf is all about bad vis’.”

"The Best New Product This Year"
The Underwater Source (http://www.uwsource.com/) liked what they saw of LYYN T38 at Underwater Intervention 2007.
"We just returned from UI2007, and it was another great event!
In our opinion, the best new product this year is a video enhancement product called the
"LYYN T38 Visibility Enhancement Technology"."
LYYN's Björn Norberg was present together with our reseller Roper Resources to show the LYYN T38™ to a broader audience.
The response was overwhelming.
Besides having several units sold directly we got very positive feedback from both exhibitors and end customers.
One of the most telling comments came from a professional diver that works with a helmet mounted camera: "Seeing one inch longer makes a whole lot of difference..."
Note: Underwater Intervention is the combined annual conference of the Association of Diving Contractors International and the ROV Committee of the Marine Technology Society.
