560 SERIES

The digital-broadcast quality 560 Series 3-CCD High Definition Camera System produces pure HD 1080i imaging. It's a complete end-to-end, high definition system that keeps the HD format throughout the entire video chain - including optics, camera head, CCU and monitor. And it meets the ATSC broadcast standards for HDTV.

Native HD image data acquired by the 560 H camera is conveyed to the CCU via a high speed digital interface, where the image data is processed and converted into HDTV images, which can then be displayed on HD flat panel monitors.

560H Camera Head

• Uses 3-CCD (Charge Coupled Device) design to acquire the digital HDTV image data.
• Micro-electronic technology supports ergonomic design: the 560 camera head is similar in size and weight to a standard camera head.
• 3-button, 6-function interface controls image and remote operation of compatible peripheral devices like CCU's, printers, and Smith & Nephew Image Management Systems.

Caution: US Federal law restricts these devices to sale by or on the order of a physician.

The 560 Series

The only definition that matters The Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC), an international non-profit organization that develops voluntary standards for digital television, defines the standard for HDTV as follows: Aspect Ratio: Must be capable of displaying wide screen 16:9 format. Standard definition television (SDTV) has a 4:3 aspect ratio. Pixel Quantity: Meets or exceeds 1280 x 720p, or 1920 x 1080i. Scanning Pattern: 720p (progressive scan) or 1080i (interlaced scan).
