Field Review Console
R.O.V. field review consoles are designed for use with all R.O.V. equipment. The user has the ability to view and record live activities, or review tapes or DVD’s of prior activities. The copy processor enables the user to print pictures of anything that they see on the monitors. There are two video inputs into this console.
The field review consoles are used by R.O.V. technicians when a full Tri-Con system is not required, such as a simple pole camera inspection.
The field review console is part of the standard R.O.V. FAIS package, and is often placed at the floor managers desk so that the floor managers and other management personnel on the floor can observe the views that the R.O.V. technicians are providing the refuel bridge during fuel moves and other in-vessel activities.
All camera pictures can be transmitted via a wireless system to a LAN system. This allows for a field review console to be placed anywhere the customer requires, including the control room, operation control center (OCC), and radiation protection, to name a few.
