Put the power of productivity
in your hands.

Introducing the portable,
connected VideoProbe™ from
GE with 3D Phase Measurement.

The most
precise
detection.
Faster.

Today’s aerospace, power generation, and oil
and gas industries depend on precise critical
inspections to keep aircraft flying, power plants
online, refineries running and wells producing.
Visual inspections can detect indications that
help asset owners make better decisions about
planned downtime and repairs, resulting in
improved performance and reduced chances
of serious equipment failures.

At GE, we understand the value of uptime and provide experts with
a better video borescope choice—the Mentor Visual iQ VideoProbe™.
With state-of-the-art 3D Phase Measurement and analysis, it
accurately detects visual indications such as corrosion, blockages
and cracking. Its superior image quality and faster, more precise
detection is forever changing the inspection landscape.

Collaboration

Connect in real time, get inspections
done in no time.

When expert advice or a second opinion is needed during
an inspection, you need to collaborate instantly. Today’s
Mentor Visual iQ is built for real time collaboration, with
Bluetooth keyboard and headset, and Wi-Fi connectivity that
allow inspectors of all levels to work together on the fly. And
soon, inspectors will have the capability to share screens,
share images, gather opinions and even make notes in real
time with Inspection Connect. This can be a lifesaver when
confined spaces or difficult inspecting conditions make access
a challenge, or when collaborating across continents or over
oceans. With expert advice on hand, the Mentor Visual iQ
reduces downtime so you have more uptime.

Expertise In Hand

Intuitive innovation. Mentor Visual iQ’s interface makes sense
right out of the box. Menu Directed Inspection (MDI) guides
users through the inspection process and organizes results for
simplified reporting. The easy-to-use touchscreen interface,
on-screen keyboard and ergonomic buttons reduce inspection
time. Create and customize profile setups for multiple users or
applications, and access on-device manuals and context-based
inspection support files. And with advanced file management,
it’s easier to store, organize and report large volumes of
inspection data.

Innovative Design

Performance meets portability. Mentor
Visual iQ combines the portability you want
with the powerful processing you need. On­demand 3D Phase Measurement helps you
make better asset decisions. Meet a variety
of inspection needs with interchangeable
probes and tip optics, as well as custom
profiles. The touchscreen interface enables
faster navigation, precise cursor placement,
and on-screen typing and annotation to
speed up inspections. Designed and tested
to recognized civilian and military standards
(IP55, MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F),
the device is dependable in the field. And at
just 6.75lbs with a lithium-ion battery, the
aircraft compliant Mentor Visual iQ stores in
overhead compartments for easy mobility.
