High Definition, TrueSight™ & Real 3D™
The latest generation of GE's Mentor Visual iQ is the first portable High Definition, 3D measurement video borescope (Touch & Analyze models). The VideoProbe now features TrueSight™ High Definition visual for more accurate defect detection and Real 3D™ measurement with a fully surfaced Point Cloud for the Touch and Analyze models. These improvements increase the Probability of Detection (POD) to help you make more informed decisions, faster.
Connectivity & Sofware
All models of the Mentor Visual iQ feature Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity and come equipped with InspectionWorks software for fast and easy remote collaboration.
Faster Inspections, Brighter Screen & Increased Processing Power
In addition to High Definition, the Mentor Visual iQ is now 200% brighter (the brightest screen on the market) and 30% more versatile, saving up to 25% in time for inspections based on case studies for gas turbine, engine and boiler assessments. Now with a faster processor that allows you to handle multiple tasks more efficiently and an upgraded touchscreen controller, the systems now feature improved viewing angle range, you can see more than ever before.
Easy & Intuitive Integration
The Mentor Visual iQ's new hardware and software enable simple connections to external monitors. Its latest upgrade also includes Windows 10, which not only allows iView remote capabilities for streaming and full remote control but also prepares the platform for future growth, as well. Its software also allows you to create and customize profile setups for multiple users or applications, and access on-device manuals and context-based inspection support files. With advanced file management, it's easier to store, organize and report large volumes of inspection data.
Aircraft Compliant, Easy Storage
At just 6.75 lbs with a lithium-ion battery, the aircraft compliant this video borescope system stores in overhead compartments for easy mobility. All models come with a carrying case - you can choose from the roller carry-on version or the larger work-station model that includes a pole mount handset holder and accessory storage pouch.
The VideoProbe comes in three different configurations to meet inspection needs across industries and applications.
Mentor Visual iQ Inspect
The Inspect is the entry-level model but still features high-resolution images and comes standard with 16 GB of internal memory. Like the Touch and Analyze, the Inspect is rated IP65 / MIL-810 for field durability and ruggedness, features a QuickChange battery pack, InspectionWorks live-streaming capabilities, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connectivity. The Inspect has a hard button and joystick interface but is not compatible with interchangeable probes. Tips are interchangeable. You can also upgrade the Inspect to a Touch or Analyze model as needed.
Mentor Visual iQ Touch
Now featuring a flame handset color, the Touch offers HD imagery (with specific probes), a gesture-based touchscreen interface with the brightest display on the market, 32 GB of internal memory, and interchangeable QuickChange probes. This model also works with custom probes like the LongSteer, UV, and 6.2 working channel probes. Upgrading to the Touch model also includes GE's menu directed inspection software suite for image management and reporting.
Mentor Visual iQ Analyze
The Analyze model, also with the flame handset, features all of the capabilities of the Touch system, including the 32 GB of internal memory, connectivity, and software but also includes stereo, 3D phase, and 3D stereo measurement upgrades as well as the "Probability of Detection" suite, which includes:
