Aesculap® Visual System Full HD

Full HD in 2D – a proven technology

Full HD technology has quickly established itself as the standard for quality.
It has the following advantages when compared to the previously used PAL/NTSC formats:
n up to six times higher image resolution of the camera image (1920 x 1080 pixels)
n significantly improved contrast, sharpness and resolution resulting in true-to-life detail
n wide-screen viewing – the Full HD 16:9 image format matches the natural field of vision
n the progressive scan image renders a smoother, reduced-noise image

Aesculap offers a compelling, total solution for Full HD image reproduction. The components
in the video chain are specially tuned to work together and meet the demanding Full HD
quality standards. The video chain consists of the camera, the light source, the endoscope,
the documentation system and the monitor.

Going forward, Aesculap‘s objective as an innovative supplier is to further meet the market
needs of its customers in this segment. By introducing a next generation 3-Chip Full HD
Camera, a unique LED light source and an easily and intuitively operated Full HD docu-
mentation system, Aesculap has positioned itself as a genuine contender in this market
segment.

LED light source
After having captured the consumer industry, LED The LED light source is characterised by the
technology is now also emerging in medical products following:
and subsequently in light sources. A fundamental n an exceedingly high light yield in conjunction with
requirement for any endoscopic procedure is the a long service life
availability of sufficient light. Possible deficiencies of n a universal adapter for all common fibre optics
used and no longer fully–functioning optics and fibre
optics therefore need to be compensated.
n an innovative integrated light measurement system
for fibre optics

3-Chip Full HD Camera

The camera is the centre-piece of the video chain. The new 3-Chip Full HD Camera as well as the new
Large amounts of image data must be processed within CMOS Full HD Camera offer:
fractions of a second. More than six million pixels in n state of the art technology
the camera head are ‚fed‘ with information from inside
n remotely controlled camera functions, directly via
the body and are then transmitted to the display as a
the camera head
high resolution image. All of these tasks can only be
accomplished if the most modern technology is used n the option of controlling a new Aesculap LED light
and the manufacturer can count on decades of exper- source directly via the camera
tise in this field. This is Aesculap‘s commitment to you.

Full HD image reproduction

The user ultimately assesses the system quality via the

display. The monitor is the last link in the video chain but
it makes an essential contribution to the overall result.

Aesculap therefore believes that only the very best will do.
Any compromises, especially during image reproduction,
diminish the overall quality. Aesculap displays are designed
to reproduce the high-resolution image data from the
camera in true-to-life colours and in a wide-screen image
format.

Full HD documentation
It makes sense that a surgeon would want to save
and reproduce the impressive image quality of the Full HD
Camera at any time.

Aesculap addresses this need with the new „Eddy Full

HD“ documentation system.
n record and playback in Full HD quality

(1920 x 1080 pixels)

Full HD endoscope n simple and intuitive user operation: a feature that

was already highly prized in previous Eddy systems

Endoscopes are one of the most critical components in n image reproduction and operation via a primary
the video chain. Their preparation, sterilisation and monitor: a secondary monitor is no longer mandatory
transportation influence their quality and service life.

By consistently furthering the technological develop-

ment of Aesculap endoscopes, the above-mentioned
needs are met whilst also implementing the premium
Full HD Standard. These optics are distinguished by
bright, high-contrast images with outstanding depth of
field and are identified by the „Full HD Logo“.
