The MCC-500MD medical video camera is the latest addition to Sony's comprehensive line-up. This affordably priced camera features the latest generation image sensor technology for better low-light sensitivity than traditional 1/3 sized image sensor technology for superb image reproduction capability. It consists of a compact camera control unit and one camera head with 1/2.9-type single (1920 x 1080) Exmor™ CMOS sensor, featuring 2.07 million pixels. By combining the Exmor image sensor with Sony's image processing technologies, the MCC500MD provides an excellent sensitivity of F5.6, a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 55db, and a high horizontal resolution of 900 TV lines or more. The MCC-500MD has enough output flexibility to fit a range of medical environments, with HDMI, HDSDI (3G-SDI), S Video, and Composite video connectivity. Furthermore, Full HD (1920 x 1080) quality 60-fps progressive scan technology results in smooth images with reduced blur when HDMI or 3G is used - ideal for viewing fast-moving images. All of the camera's outputs are active simultaneously, so it is ideal for use with second or third monitors in the operating room. Together with Sony's medical-grade recorders and monitors, the MCC-500MD is the ideal solution for capturing and recording microsurgery applications. The MCC-500MD's compact and lightweight design allows the camera's C-mount head to be easily mounted on most existing surgical microscopes. KEY FEATURES 1/2.9-type Exmor Full HD Image Sensor The MCC-500MD is equipped with a single chip 1/2.9-type Exmor Full HD CMOS image sensor, with an effective pixel count of 1920(H) x 1080(V), to deliver high-quality images. This image sensor employs Sony's highly acclaimed latest generation image sensor technology accumulated over decades of experience in the professional imaging business. Thanks to this advanced technology, the MCC-500MD provides an excellent sensitivity of F5.6, a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 55 dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 900 TV lines or more. Compact and Lightweight Camera Head Unit The camera head unit is compatible with the C-mount, which is commonly used for microscopes in medical applications. It measures 1 1/8 x 1 1/8 x 1 15/16 in, and weighs only 1.4 oz. Thanks to its compact size and light weight, the camera head unit can be installed easily in space-constrained locations.
