Camera head for digital imaging. (Product Marketplace).Karl Storz Endoscopy-America, Inc., introduces Image 1[TM], the first and only camera head that instantly converts optical images to digital at the CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. sensing chip. Digital at the source, Image 1 delivers pure digital imaging that realistically renders patient anatomy for the cleanest, sharpest images. Digital Source Sampling has the added benefit of minimizing image artifacts artifacts see specimen artifacts. and reducing environmental influences, such as electrosurgical unit interference. Image 1's ergonomic design provides ease of operation and one-handed manipulation. Access to eight reprogrammable camera-control operations from the sterile field sterile field Surgery A 'clean' environment that surrounds an incision, and relatively free of microorganisms, in particular bacteria; the SF is inhabited by the surgeon(s), scrub nurses, and occasionally, physicians in training. See Dirty wound. ensures complete control. Digital Smartcam Technology offers instant camera recognition for consistent, easy image optimization, and an integrated 2x parfocal optical zoom (14- to 28-mm) provides optimal image size with all telescopes, reducing camera/telescope movement. Any-head, any-time technology enables the use of one CCU CCU abbr. 1. coronary care unit 2. critical care unit CCU critical care unit. CCU Critical care unit, see there with any camera head, encompassing all surgical specialties and procedures, which simplifies procedure set-up and maximizes OR standardization. Additionally, Image 1's expandable architecture ensures that it is always ready to incorporate new technologies, such as HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates . Circle 128 on Reader Service Card |
