Innovations ENDOCAM Logic 4K The new definition of sharp Article by || Thomas Heil and Niclas Bork The ENDOCAM Logic 4K system provides a flexible basis for putting state-of-the-art interdisciplinary concepts into practice in the context of both outpatient and clinical care. It features an impressive standard of image quality and is able to satisfy even the most exacting technical requirements. Creating this system has involved developing a new con- cept that incorporates every link in the image chain in a single powerful package: combining a new endoscope de- sign, improved light transmission, digital signal processing, and the very latest production technology. Brilliant visualization Particularly worthy of note is the redeveloped metal camera head featuring improved heat dissipation, smal- ler dimensions, and a lighter weight, as is the whisper- quiet equipment operation – all helping to achieve a relaxed working environment that meets the very highest standards. Combined with the 4K standard, the brilliant true-to-life color reproduction makes it possible to work more efficiently, improve quality, and – most importantly – create a safer environment for patients. The difference is in the detail Not only does the camera deliver outstanding live images, it also features a range of Special Imaging Modes (SIM) that help users to conduct difficult procedures to maintain a clear overview and differentiate between even the finest tissue structures. Special algorithms have been applied in order to improve outcomes by revealing things that would be invisible or difficult to perceive in normal images. A cross-disciplinary platform and central interface, the ENDOCAM Logic 4K camera controller allows users to carry on working with all their ENDOCAM Logic HD equipment already in place and the same rigid and flexible endoscopes as before.
