- GoPro HERO5: Supports HDMI live view up to 4K / 3840 x 2160 at 30 fps in compatible configurations.
- GoPro HERO7: HDMI live view is limited to 1080p60 or 1080p50, depending on camera settings and connected equipment.

Recording resolution inside the camera and live HDMI output resolution are not always the same. Contact Dive And See if you need help confirming your required live-view format.
Long-Range Underwater Monitoring
The DNC-GP15 allows a GoPro camera to remain underwater while operators monitor the live HDMI image at the surface. The system is suitable for boat-hull inspection, underwater construction, pools, aquariums, marine research, observation tanks, education, and live event production.
The 100-meter underwater HDMI cable terminates in a standard full-size HDMI Type A connector at the surface. It can be connected to compatible HDMI displays, recorders, capture devices, projectors, and streaming equipment. Additional surface equipment and internet connectivity are required for streaming to services such as YouTube Live or Facebook Live.
Surface Power System
The separate 100-meter underwater power cable supplies the GoPro from the surface, reducing the need to recover the housing for camera battery changes. The system accepts a DC input range from 7.4V to 24V.
