Sony MCC-500MD Surgical Full HD Video Camera with Exmor™ CMOS Sensor
Space-saving, two-piece camera with HD image quality
The Sony MCC-500MD is a compact medical Full HD video camera equipped with a highly sensitive Exmor™ CMOS sensor for sharp, low-noise images. It was developed specifically for medical applications and delivers clear, detailed video signals in HD or SD quality. The lightweight camera head with C-mount allows flexible mounting on various medical instruments such as microscopes or endoscopes. The camera supports a wide range of video formats and interfaces, including HDMI, HD-SDI, S-Video, BNC, and remote control via RS-232C. A particularly noteworthy feature is the ability to combine two cameras to create stereoscopic 3D images.
The entire camera system can be optionally controlled from an external device, such as a computer. In addition, both camera heads can be positioned up to 20 m away from the CCU (optional cables are required for this), which further increases flexibility in operation and integration.
Full HD videos can be displayed on a connected monitor (not included). The videos can also be recorded for later use or analysis using a suitable video recorder, such as the Sony HVO-3300MT.
