Intended use

The Aesculap Full HD (=High Definition) camera is an endoscopic video
camera to transmit real-time video images of a rigid or flexible endoscope,
via the use of a lens with endocoupler, to a video monitor or other related
documentation devices.
The Aesculap Full HD camera is suitable for all endoscopic applications.
The current use of the camera involves connecting a lens with endocou-
pler to the camera. An endoscope with standard eyepiece is then con-
nected to the endocoupler and held in place by the grasping mechanism
of the endocoupler.
The Full HD camera is the preferred camera for endoscopic procedures due
to its superior image quality of 1920 x 1080 pixel and progressive scan
mode.

Operating principle

An endoscope visualizes the operation site and an objective lens focuses
this image onto the three CCD sensors, where it is converted into digital
signals. The image brightness is automatically adjusted according to the
light intensity (autoshutter).
Through camera cable 4, the digital image signals are transferred to cam-
era control unit 7, where the digital data are processed to be displayed on
the monitor.
The video signal processed in this way is then picked up at the video out-
put monitor, and digital documentation devices.
The camera system offers automatic, electronic brightness enhancement
for areas that are particularly difficult to illuminate, as well as five differ-
ent fixed mode settings and three user adjustable mode settings for vari-
ous situations during operation.
The video camera system is also equipped with a white adjustment system
for optimal color representation.
The lens and an additional electronic zoom feature ensures that the image
on the monitor is displayed at the optimum size.
