6.0mm Ultra-HD 2.0MP 4K Video Industrial Videoscope with HDR Processing

Product Overview

The Sugia OmniScope F3 is the maximum-resolution platform in the OmniScope product line, delivering 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) video at 30 frames per second and 2.0-megapixel still images from a 6.0 mm probe diameter. It targets inspection applications where the highest possible spatial resolution is the primary requirement — aerospace engine documentation for lease-return technical records, regulatory-compliance evidence packages, and high-magnification defect characterization.

The F3’s 1/3-inch stacked back-illuminated CMOS sensor achieves 2.0 µm pixel pitch with a quantum efficiency of 82% at 550 nm, delivering usable images at 2 lux minimum scene illumination without pixel binning. The video pipeline supports 4K/30 fps recording with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling and H.265 (HEVC) encoding at up to 100 Mbps bitrate — a broadcast-quality video specification that preserves fine surface-texture detail for offline analysis and regulatory submissions.

The multi-exposure HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing mode captures three sequential frames at different exposure values (0 EV, -2 EV, +2 EV) within 100 ms total acquisition time and fuses them into a single 16-bit-per-channel tone-mapped image. This resolves simultaneous detail in both deep shadows (cooling-hole interiors, undercuts, shadowed weld-root regions) and bright highlights (directly illuminated surfaces, metallic reflections) that would saturate a standard single-exposure sensor. The HDR mode is particularly valuable in aerospace combustion-chamber inspections where the probe tip illuminates the near wall while the far wall recedes into shadow.

Key Engineering Features

• 4K UHD Video at 30 fps: 3840 × 2160 resolution with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling; H.265 encoding at up to 100 Mbps; broadcast-quality video documentation suitable for regulatory submission and third-party engineering review.
• 2.0 MP Still Images: 2880 × 2160 pixel (4:3 aspect ratio) still captures using the full sensor area; simultaneous still-image capture during video recording without frame drop.
• Multi-Exposure HDR Processing: 3-frame exposure bracket (0 EV, -2 EV, +2 EV) captured in 100 ms; 16-bit-per-channel tone-mapped output; resolves detail in shadows and highlights that exceeds the single-exposure dynamic range by approximately 3 stops.
• 1/3-Inch Stacked BSI CMOS: 2.0 µm pixel pitch; 82% quantum efficiency at 550 nm; dual native ISO (ISO 200 / ISO 1600); 2 lux minimum scene illumination; read noise < 2 e⁻ RMS at ISO 1600.
• HDR Measurement Integration: All quantitative measurement modes (distance, depth, area, profile) operate on the HDR-fused 16-bit image, providing measurement accuracy in both shadowed and highlighted regions that would fail on a standard 8-bit single-exposure.

Target Applications

• Aerospace Engine Lease-Return Documentation: 4K-resolution borescope inspection video as a permanent technical record for engine lease-return conditions; HDR imaging of combustion-chamber and turbine components where large intra-scene brightness variation challenges single-exposure documentation.
• Airworthiness Directive Compliance: High-resolution visual evidence packages for Airworthiness Directive (AD) recurring inspection compliance; HDR imaging documents corrosion depth and extent with verifiable measurement overlay in a single image file.
• Accident/Incident Investigation: Maximum-resolution documentation of engine-internal damage patterns for metallurgical failure analysis correlation; 4K video of debris distribution and impact-damage morphology for NTSB/EASA/AAIB investigation evidence.
• Research & Development: High-speed thermal-barrier coating spallation sequence documentation at 1080p/60 fps; high-resolution surface-texture characterization for manufacturing process development; coating-defect morphology documentation for failure-mode effects analysis (FMEA) databases.
