April 22, 2002 -- Zistos Corp. announced the availability of two new of industrial robust video inspection systems.
The systems consist of a self-illuminating camera on the end of a telescoping pole or on the end of a flexible, semi-rigid coil. Either camera system is powered by an easy viewing color LCD, all battery powered with a remote transmitter option.
The 5 to 12 foot-long Telescoping Flex.N Stay pole is for straight-line access and its short Flex.N Stay arm allows the camera to bend over or around obstructions. For example, inspecting tanks blocked by baffles or maneuvering the camera into manholes and entering underground pipe branches.
The 8, 16 or 32 foot-long Flex.N Stay coil will bend but remains rigid and self-supporting and can be shaped to look backwards or sideways.
The back-end for both systems is either a portable/self-powered 4-inch or 15-inch LCD display, industrially rugged. Move it anywhere, open the lid and its integrated battery shows a hi resolution image via its wireless receiver, selectable VGA or Component Video, or NTSC Composite, TV tuner and audio signals.
The more portable Walk About LCD system is belt or chest-mounted for hands free mobility.
No bigger than a paperback book, completely portable and powered by the 15 LCD battery, the Image & Data Recorder can record the entire inspection to tape, digitally freeze/store images-with time/date, and allow for download to PCs for instant status reporting, which can be sent to anywhere from the field.
