Blueye X3 Ultra
4K HDR · 8× Zoom · Nvidia AI

Capture, process and understand your underwater data in real time. The X3 Ultra adds 4K UHD HDR imaging, 8× zoom, real-time video filters and an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX AI module to the proven sub-9 kg X3 platform — automated inspection intelligence from an ROV one person can carry, deploy and dive to 305 m.

The proven X3 — now with 4K eyes and an AI brain

The X3 Ultra keeps everything that made the X3 the core professional Blueye — sub-9 kg, single-operator, 305 m, self-stabilising — and upgrades the two things that decide whether an inspection is usable: the camera and the intelligence behind it. A large-format 4K HDR sensor and an onboard Nvidia AI module turn a routine dive into structured, documented, real-time data.

  • 4K UHD HDR camera with 8× zoom and tiltable head
  • Nvidia Jetson Orin NX — onboard object detection & tracking
  • Real-time turbidity, colour and lens-correction filters
  • Three Smart Connector guest ports — sonar, positioning, sensors
  • 512 GB removable storage · high-performance IMU
  • Below 9 kg · operable by one person · free Blunux updates
4K Imaging

Crystal-Clear 4K. Detail Other Mini-ROVs Miss.

A large 1/1.8" AR0822 sensor captures four times the resolution of FHD — and HDR holds detail across bright reflections and deep shadow in the same frame.

Reveal cracks, corrosion and biofouling invisible at 1080p

4K resolution exposes the fine detail that decides an inspection outcome — hairline cracks, pitting, anode wastage and coating breakdown — even in low light. HDR balances a lit hull face against a shadowed recess in a single shot, and 8× zoom delivers close-up imagery of welds and anodes while the vehicle holds a safe standoff distance. A tiltable camera head reframes targets without moving the ROV.

AI & Computer Vision

Intelligence That Works the Dive With You

An Nvidia Jetson Orin NX module processes video onboard — detecting and tracking objects, cleaning up turbid water, and feeding directly into Blueye Cloud's AI-generated inspection reports.

From raw footage to structured inspection data

The edge-AI module runs object detection, tracking and collision-avoidance in real time, and applies turbidity, colour and lens-correction filters before the feed reaches the surface — turning murky or silty water into usable imagery without post-processing. Captured media flows into Blueye Cloud, where AI generates annotations, photo descriptions and draft inspection reports.

  • Real-time object detection, tracking & collision avoidance
  • Live turbidity, colour & lens-correction image filters
  • Blueye Cloud — AI annotations, tagging & report drafting
  • Improved high-performance IMU for stable, repeatable passes

Real-Time Image Filters

Usable footage in water that defeats other cameras

Turbidity compensation, colour correction and contrast enhancement are applied live, on the vehicle — so silty harbours, algae blooms and biofouled structures still yield footage an inspector and a class surveyor can rely on. No tuning, no waiting for post-processing: what the pilot sees on the controller is already corrected.

🦾

Manipulators

Newton Subsea Gripper and the Reach Alpha family — soft, standard, quad and parallel jaws — for sampling, valve operation and object retrieval.

🧪

Environmental Sensors

In-Situ Aqua TROLL 500 multiparameter sonde for water quality; Cygnus UTM gauge for NDT hull thickness measurement.

🛡️

Specialist Sensors

OceanTools DigiCP cathodic-protection probe, Medusa gamma-ray sensor and Sea Beam scaling laser for offshore and nuclear-facility inspection.

🌍

Blueye GPS

Rated to 500 m, 1.5 m accuracy, GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo with NMEA RS232 output and neutral buoyancy — tool-free mount for precise mission logging.
