Exceptional Image Quality
to Improve Inspection Quality
Our Best Image Quality
The IPLEX RX and RT feature the best image quality of
our videoscopes. Our unique PulsarPicTM image processor
reduces noise and sharpens images, resulting in the
exceptionally high resolution image.
The IPLEX RX and RT faithfully and brightly reproduce
very small defects, and the sharp and clear images enable
accurate and reliable inspections.
Diverse Applications
2X Brighter Illumination System
The IPLEX RX and RT feature a new LED illumination
system that is approximately twice as bright as
conventional videoscopes, while dynamically adjusting
light output to reduce halation when metal or reflective
surfaces are inspected.
The PulsarPicTM image processor interacts intelligently
with our illumination system to deliver an optimized
amount of light and gain enhancement to provide images
that are very clear and sharply defined.

Still Images and Movies as Crisp
as Live Images
The IPLEX RX and RT can record inspected images to
a removable USB flash drive as JPEG still images and
MPEG–4 movies.
The improved image quality of recorded images and
movies enables accurate image diagnosis not only in the
field but also at the oce with the use of our free image
management software, InHelp viewer.

Large Monitor Providing Easy
Yet Accurate Inspections
The compact IPLEX RX and RT are equipped with a
6.5 in. monitor. The large monitor displays small defects
clearly from a comfortable distance for inspectors for
easy identification.
Optimized Image Gradation
The IPLEX RX features our unique image processing
capability, WiDERTM, which brings out the darkest areas
of an image without washing out the details of the brighter
regions. The innovative technology provides optimum
inspections of large areas or even highly reflective areas.
Sharpness: Level ‐1/ Color: Standard/ Normal gain setting
In addition, the IPLEX RX is equipped with sharpness
and color adjustment functions to create optimal images
depending on objects and applications.
Sharpness: Level 2/ Color: Vivid/ WiDERTM gain setting

Operation With Ease
for All Remote Visual Applications
Compact and Portable Design
The IPLEX RX and RT weigh just 2.9 kg/ 6.4 lb including
the two‐hour operating Li‐ion battery. The compact and
portable design allows you not only to easily ship or
transport the IPLEX RX and RT to inspection sites but to
smoothly carry them to dicult-to-access locations.

The compact and neat design is easy to carry with one hand
Comfortable Inspections in Optimal Styles
The versatile design of the IPLEX RX and RT oers
comfortable use to almost anyone. The pivoting handle
of the monitor can change into a stand during inspections,
and allows you to place the videoscope wherever you
want to optimize viewing distance and angles. The
video output capability of the IPLEX RX and RT enables
inspections in a group or from remote locations by
connecting the external monitor. Furthermore, the IPLEX
RX and RT can be used while being carried with a
shoulder belt or connected onto a tripod.
The same inspected image is shared between two operators with an external
display connected to the IPLEX RX for remote observation

Smooth and Accurate Approach
to a Target
The innovative articulation technologies equipped on
the IPLEX RX and RT allow for smooth and accurate
approaches to the most demanding inspection paths.
The improved TrueFeelTM articulation controller features
precise and quick scope tip articulation by just light‐
touch operation, achieving smooth navigation through
intricate paths.
The insertion tube is designed with the unique
Tape r e d Fl e xTM to optimize both the scope stiness
and flexibility for excellent scope maneuverability.

Quick and Easy Operation
The most common operations such as scope articulation,
image adjustment and recording can be easily activated
by pressing dedicated Quick Access keys on the
lightweight handset. The menu setting of the IPLEX RX
and RT is simplified for easy and quick operation.
The handheld controller boasting Quick Access keys capable of over 14 actions
in a single touch
User‐friendly Menu Icons
All menus of the IPLEX RX and RT are displayed with
easy‐to‐understand icons. An inspector can intuitively
recognize the menus and eciently operate the desired
feature or setting.

Rugged and Durable
for Reliable Performance Even in Harsh Environments
Robust Body
The IPLEX RX and RT pass the impact tests including
vibration and drop from a height of 1.2 m/ 3.9 ft.
The tough system compliant with Military Standards
withstands rough treatment and ensures reliable operation
in dicult environments.
Operable in All Weather
The IPLEX RX and RT comply with internationally recognized
Military Standards (MIL‐STD‐810F/G and MIL-STD‐461F)*
as well as IP55, passing a range of severe environmental
tests, such as blowing rain/dust, high humidity, and icing
rain. In addition, the daylight view monitor featuring low‐
reflection displays clear images even under bright sunlight.

High‐durability Insertion Tube
Operators are often required to inspect objects inside
narrow paths with rough or sharp surfaces. The insertion
tube of the IPLEX RX and RT has a crush and abrasion‐
proof design and is covered with a tough, special
processed tungsten braid.
In addition, the IPLEX RX insertion tube features high
temperature resistant up to 100 °C/ 212 °F. A high
temperature sensor beeps and display visual warning to
prevent overheating.

Advanced Functionality
to Provide Outstanding Inspection Accuracy and Work Eciency
Stereo Measurement for Reliable Inspection (to be released in May 2014)
Our advanced Stereo Measurement technology oers
outstanding reliability and accuracy for your inspections.
By capturing image information through two parallax
lenses, the IPLEX RX permits accurate measurement of
almost any object from any angle.
Additionally, our unique Spot‐RangingTM feature on the
IPLEX RX, the industry’s only real‐time tip‐to‐target
distance measurement tool, navigates the scope tip to
the optimum distance from a target for the most precise
measurement on the first try.
InHelpTM Inspection Assist Software
InHelp, the inspection data management and reporting*
software, streamlines many aspects of remote visual
inspections with the IPLEX RX and RT. The software
greatly improves work eciency and simplifies inspections
by organizing stored images on the IPLEX RX and RT,
generating detailed inspection reports* on a PC with
simple click operation.
*Report generating function is an option.

Instruction Manual Display
IPLEX RX has a function to display PDF document.
Instead of alternately facing printed inspection manuals
and inspected images, you can see both of them on the
IPLEX RX monitor at once. This unique capability improves
your inspection speed and eciency.
Optional report generation can be added to compliment the InHelp software
