12、onditions.The scanner shall be mounted on the front of thevehicle at a height sufficient to allow a minimum image widthof 14 ft(4.3 m).The scanner shall be capable of producing atelevision-compatible image.5.1.2 Video Recorders capable of reproducing a thermalimage or a conventional video image.Each
13、 device shall have atleast one audio channel available and provide a minimumresolution of 240 lines per inch.Two are required.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D04 on Roadand Paving Materials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D04.32 onBridges and Structures
