Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by
an electromagnetic site survey1, should be less than the
compliance level in each frequency range2.
Interference may occur in the vicinity of devices with the
following symbol:

REMARKS:
At 80 MHz and 800 MHz the higher frequency range applies. These guidelines may not apply in all situations. The propagation of elec­
tromagnetic waves is affected by absorption and reflexion from buildings, objects and people.
1 = The field strength of stationary transmitters (e.g. base station for radio phone, earth to earth radio stations,, amateur radio stations, radio
and television transmitters) cannot be exactly predicted in theory. To assess the EMC environment due to fixed transmitters an electromagnetic
site survey should be conducted. If the measured field strength in the location in which the product is used exceeds the applicable compliance
level above, the product should be observed to verify normal operation.
If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be required, such as reorienting or relocating the product.
2 = Over the frequency range between 150 kHz and 80 MHz the field strength should be below 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile HF telecommunication devices and devices which
are not life-supporting
The product is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment where HF disturbances are controlled.
The user can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile HF telecommunica­
tions equipment and the product.

5 Use

5.1 Operating principle


The ENDOCAM Performance HD Controller provides a digital HDTV vi­
deo signal particularly suited for display on a 16:9 LCD monitor.The
camera heads approved for use with the camera controller can be
connected.
The color properties of the illumination are called color temperatures and
are specified in Kelvin (K). Higher color temperatures are blueish, lower
color temperatures are reddish.
To display an image in natural colors, a white balance must be carried out
before the first use and after each change of the light projector or the
endoscopic instruments.
The white balance serves to adjust color gain factors for the red and blue
portions of the video image in such a way that they match the color tem­
perature of the light projector and therefore render an image with opti­
mum colors, rendering white objects as completely white.
On the camera controller white balancing is possible for a color tempera­
ture range between 2300 K and 7000 K.
In order to produce optimum color rendition, light sources are recom-
mended with a color temperature greater than 4000 K.

5.2 Controls and modes


. IMPORTANT!
To avoid unecessary heating on the endoscope when using the shutter
function, a maximum brightness setting on the light projector should be
avoided.
Z The "Automatic white balance" button triggers an automatic white ba­
lancing procedure.

Z The "Contour enhancement" button serves to adjust image sharpness


in 3 stages.

. NOTE!
Depending on the focal length of the objective lens, image information of
the endoscope (A) cannot be detected on the image sensor (B) (Fig. 2).
A B Depending on the use and system combination, the brightness control
must be adjusted.

Z The "Endoscopic image adaptation" button serves to adapt the meas­


Fig. 2 uring window for brightness control to the image circle diameter in 3
stages.

Z The "Preselect brightness" buttons increase/decrease the basic bright­


ness for automatic brightness control (shutter function).

14 GA-A 280
VISH212

5.3 Operation
. IMPORTANT!
Possible malfunction of the device controls.
A malfunction can cause a failure of the controllability of the device wi­
thout impairing the actual image display. Carry out a restart of the device
at a later, convenient point in time.

5.3.1 White balance


. IMPORTANT!
If the white balance has been started unintentionally, the colors are not
rendered correctly during the endoscopic operation.
Repeat white balancing outside the patient's body using a white object.
. NOTE!
After each start with the camera head connected or when the camera
head is being attached, the user is prompted to carry out a white balan­
cing procedure.
. IMPORTANT!
To start the white balancing, press any key on the camera head or
camera controller. After that the camera controller is ready for use.

Z Switch on the camera controller and light projector.

Z Set the white balance.


' Direct the endoscope at a white surface and make sure that no ex­
traneous light and no colored objects are in the field of view.
' To trigger white balance either press the "White balance" button of
the camera controller or the left camera head button for more than 1
second.

' During white balance the symbol is displayed on the monitor.

' Upon successful completion of the white balance procedure, the


"white balance" symbol and a green symbol for OK are displayed on
the monitor.

GA-A 280 15
VISH212

5.3.2 Automatic brightness control


The automatic brightness control (shutter function) of the ENDOCAM Per­
formance HD Controller allows the use of light projectors without light
control. The required target brightness can be preselected on the camera
controller.

Z When reaching the maximum brightness preselection:


' the button lights up and a signal is sounded.
Z When reaching the minimum brightness preselection:
' the button lights up and a signal is sounded.

On the monitor the brightness preselection appears as a bar diagram.

5.3.3 Contour enhancement


Contour enhancement is used to enhance fine structures in the image.
D Stage 1 = low image sharpness
D Stage 2 = normal image sharpness
D Stage 3 = increased image sharpness

On the monitor, contour enhancement appears as a bar diagram.

5.3.4 Endoscopic image adaptation


The adaptation of the endoscopic image permits the size of the control
window for automatic brightness control (shutter function) to be selected
in 3 stages.
Selecting a small area will help to reduce blooming.
D Stage 1 = small image circle diameter
D Stage 2 = medium image circle diameter
D Stage 3 = large image circle diameter

On the monitor, the adaptation of the endoscopic image is displayed in


accordance with the selected size of the control window.

5.3.5 Storage function on USB stick


The storage function is used for storing the current images and video se­
quences on a USB stick.
The USB stick must only be connected to the USB interface on the front
panel of the camera controller and requires a formatting in accordance
with the specifications set forth under Technical Data in section 7.
A green LED indicates that the USB stick has been recognized.

After displaying the memory capacity of the USB stick, it is possible to


store images and video sequences.

16 GA-A 280
VISH212

5.3.6 Directory structure on a USB stick


Each time the camera controller is switched on and off or the camera
head is changed, respectively, a new folder is generated automatically on
the connected USB stick and receives a consecutive number.
All single images and video recordings are stored in this folder and num­
bered in consecutive order for documentation purposes.
The current number appears on the monitor behind the symbol for single
image or video recording.
On-screen displays such as the bar diagram for brightness preselection,
adaptation of endoscopic image etc. are not stored.
. NOTE!
The date and the time are not saved.
The date saved in the data properties is randomly generated, it does not
correspond to the actual recording date.
We recommend a regular backup of the data stored on the USB stick.
To avoid that user data are mixed up, an empty USB stick should be used
for each application.
. NOTE!
As a result of the system-related compression rate, the quality of the ar­
chived image may deviate to a higher or lesser degree from the live
image.
