The IPLEX RX/ IPLEX RT are lightweight industrial videoscopes that feature the unique PulsarPic image processor to produce high-resolution and bright images. They have 6.5-inch screen with an anti-reflective daylight-view monitor.
The IPLEX RX and RT feature good image quality of our videoscopes. Our unique PulsarPic 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.
Sharp and clear images with less noise
Drill Hole | Bearing of wind gearbox |
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 PulsarPic 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.
Good images of both dark and light area

Comparison of image sizes |
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 office with the use of our free image management software, InHelp viewer. |
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. |
The IPLEX RX features our unique image processing capability, WiDER, 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.
In addition, the IPLEX RX is equipped with sharpness and color adjustment functions to create optimal images depending on objects and applications.
Sharpness: Level ‐1 Color: Standard/ Normal gain setting | Sharpness: Level 2 Color: Vivid/ WiDER gain setting |
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 difficult-to-access locations.
The IPLEX RX carried up a ladder with a shoulder strap | The compact and neat design is easy to carry with one hand |
The versatile design of the IPLEX RX and RT offers 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 | The IPLEX RX sits on a surface using its pivoting handle to angle the image just right |
The IPLEX RX and RT offer a range of scopes, allowing you to choose the right one to fit the job. Scopes are available in diameters of 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm, and in various lengths ranging from 2 m to 20 m. |
TrueFeel articulation providing a precise and controlled bend at the distal end |
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 TrueFeel 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 Tapered Flex to optimize both the scope stiffness and flexibility for excellent scope maneuverability. |
The handheld controller boasting Quick Access keys capable of over 14 actions in a single touch | 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 IPLEX RX intuitive menu shows the options for image overlay | All menus of the IPLEX RX and RT are displayed with easy‐to‐understand icons. An inspector can intuitively recognize the menus and efficiently operate the desired feature or setting. |
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 difficult environments. |
The IPLEX RX and RT comply with internationally recognized Military Standards (MIL‐STD‐810F 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.
*Reference specification page for MIL-STD compliance details |
Special processed tungsten braid |
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. |
Our Stereo Measurement technology offers defect measurements from various angles with simple operations. The newly implemented screen switching function allows easy detection of defects with large, single screen and a quick shift to measurement.
* Optional function for IPLEX RX (Except 20m type)
Under observation Stereo Measurement mode (Measuring the distance of a defect) |
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 efficiency and simplifies inspections by organizing stored images on the IPLEX RX and RT, generating detailed inspection reports on a PC with simple click operation.
Wireless LAN capability ready* *Confirmed with Toshiba FlashAir Wireless LAN SD card |
Comparison display between an inspected image and PDF document | 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 efficiency. |
