FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

USAF Approves TechnoPack™ X

The United States Air Force has Qualified and Approved the TechnoPack™ X Videoscope System for Borescope Inspections, including measurement.

The TechnoPack™ X is a complete remote visual inspection (RVI) system that offers a wide range of innovative design features, including the LaserTrue™ measuring system.

The TechnoPack™ X system can be rolled right to the flight line. Everything is stored and connected in the case - ready for use. Just open the case and the keyboard with mouse and SVGA big-screen monitor raise into position. Along with the monitor and keyboard, TechnoPack X™ boasts the new CCU/light source processor, a range of inspection instruments, Pentium class processing, and a DVD Burner. USB and Ethernet capability offer unmatched digital information management capabilities. The TechnoPack™ X stores or exports up to 6 1/2 hours of live, MPEG digital video.

TechnoPack™ X is the first RVI system to incorporate a laser measuring system. The LaserTrue™ laser measuring system provides measurement on demand, with “no tip change” required. Just turn it freeze and measure. Measurement is displayed on the screen and can be stored with the image or transferred to a desktop PC for initial measurement or re-measurement. All measurements are made on full-screen images with twice the resolution and size of traditional stereo images. LaserTrue™ can be used as a "live" laser comparator for fast, on screen evaluation.

The TechnoPack™ X can operate a wide range of Videoscopes including the KARL STORZ 3.8mm Videoscope, 4.2mm Videoscope, 5mm Videoscope, 6.2mm Working Channel Videoscope, or 8mm Videoscope. By attaching the Telecam CCD camera you can capture images from the KARL STORZ F100 - Qualified Swing Prism Borescope and other manufacturers' fiberscopes and borescopes.. The advanced digital processor's Instant Recognition™ feature identifies which videoscope or camera is connected to the TechnoPack™ X and automatically adjusts to maximize image quality. This allows you to use any scope in your inventory while maintaining the highest possible resolution.

Clearview Technology™ maximizes image resolution and delivers large, full-screen images for inspecting and measuring. Image filters optimize video and fiber images. In fiberscope images the interstitial (pixel) pattern can be eliminated to optimize the resolution.

KARL STORZ is a global manufacturer of remote visual inspection (RVI) equipment. The company offers the industry's only 2-Year Warranty on its entire RVI product line. For more information on TechnoPack™ X www.karlstorzindustrial.com or call 1-800-329-9618.
