Description

Sony MCC-500MD Medical Grade 2D Camera

The Sony MCC-500MD medical video camera is the latest edition 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.

Sony MCC-500MD Full HD surgical video camera with Exmor™ CMOS sensor.

The camera 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 MCC-500MD 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.

Crisp, clear Full HD images

The Sony MCC-500MD has enough output flexibility to fit a range of medical environments, with HDMI, HD-SDI (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 HD-SDI is used – ideal for viewing fast- moving images. All of the camera’s outputs are active simultaneously, so it is ideal for use with 2nd or 3rd monitors in the operating room.

Together with Sony’s medical-grade recorders and monitors, the Sony MCC-500MD is the ideal solution for capturing and recording microsurgery applications. The Sony MCC-500MD ‘s compact and light-weight design allows the camera’s C-mount head to be easily mounted on most existing surgical microscopes.

Small, light camera head with C-Mount

Installation in space-constrained locations is simplified by the camera head’s compact size and light weight. The lens mount part of the camera head is a C-mount type that’s commonly used for surgical microscopes or slit lamp medical applications.

Sony MCC-500MD Support for wide range of HD and SD video formats

The Sony MCC-500MD supports both Full HD (1080 60p/50p) and Standard Definition video formats for greater operating versatility. This also offers the benefit of straightforward migration from SD to HD-based workflow as required.

Control camera head remotely from up to 20m

For greater operating versatility, the camera head unit and camera control unit can be connected over distances up to 20m using an optional camera cable. Cables are available in 6m/10m/15m lengths, as well as an additional 5m extension cable.

Sony MCC-500MD Easily recalls custom picture profiles

Up to six different picture profiles – including exposure, sharpness, gamma, color tuning and white balance – can be saved to memory. Custom settings can be instantly recalled from the CCU front panel to suit various applications, including use of different lamp sources.

Image flip

The camera output can be ‘flipped’ vertically, horizontally, or both vertically and horizontally. The flip function can also be activated by an optional foot switch for convenient hands-free operation.

Picture freeze

Pressing the ‘Freeze’ button during normal operation causes the camera to output a still image.

Fluorescein Mode

Clear images can be viewed during fluorescein shooting under green lighting, with no need to use a special yellow filter.

Sony MCC-500MD Versatile Connection with Wide Range of Interfaces

The Sony MCC-500MD is generously equipped with a variety of video and control interfaces. These include a 3G-SDI output, HDMI output supporting 1080/60P and 1080/50P, plus analog composite and S-Video outputs. A D-sub 9-pin connector is provided for PC control of the camera via RS-232C, while two mini-jacks allow connection of optional foot switches.

Control by computer

The Sony MCC-500MD can be controlled from a computer via its standard RS-232C interface.

Sony MCC-500MD supports Two Cameras for 3D Shooting

Images from two Sony MCC-500MD units can be synchronized to allow acquisition of 3D video images. The two camera control units can be connected using an optional BNC cable via the CCU’s 3D-SYNC IN/OUT connectors.

Color bar for convenient set-up

The camera can be switched from its normal output picture to a color bar, assisting with easy connection checks during camera installation.

Direct AC power operation

The camera control unit is powered directly via a standard AC power cord, with no need for an external adaptor. This can save space when the unit is installed on a modality device or video cart.

Sony MCC-500MD Compliance with Medical Standards

This product is distributed to the US and EU as a medical device and satisfies product safety standards (e.g. IEC 60601-1).
