accuracy and productivity in aerospace and rotating equipment applications. The 3-D measurement eliminates the need to change the probe tip to capture the measurement, which streamlines the inspection process. The 3-D phase measurement offers Profile Views, a cross-section view of a portion of the surface. With Profile View, the inspector can rotate and zoom to get a more accurate view of the defect. GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies www.geinspectiontechnologies.com (800) 833-9438 System Displays and Records Real-Time Video during Pipe Inspections The ClipStream™ captures up to 16 GB (approximately 12 h) of AVI video and JPEG still images to a micro SD card. Recorded footage can be viewed directly on the system’s 3.6-in. color LCD or transferred to a computer or smart phone by ejecting the card or tethering via USB. It clamps in seconds to the pole of the company’s QuickView® zoom survey camera and displays and records real-time video during pipe and manhole inspections. In wireless mode, ClipStream™ transmits video to any monitor on the same frequency, which means several people can view the same video from different locations. When tuned to different frequencies, multiple units can be used in the same area without interference. The system accepts NTSC or PAL video input via a BNC connector, and outputs analog video via a phone jack. It runs on four AA batteries, or connects to mains power using an optional AC adapter.
