The 560 Series 3-CCD High Definition (HD) Camera System is capable of capturing and displaying broadcast quality HD images in arthroscopic and other minimally invasive surgeries. The 560 Series is designed to maintain high-definition resolution through the entire image chain, from the video arthroscope or laparoscope, through the camera head and the control unit, and to the monitor; resulting in clearer, more detailed surgical images.

In any visualization system – be it in an operating room or a consumer's home – the image quality is only as good as the weakest component. A high-definition camera will capture broadcast quality images and an HD monitor will display them, but if the technology in between – a consumer's cable box or a medical facility's camera control unit, for example -- does not support high-definition technology, the picture quality is ultimately sacrificed.

The 560 Series is also designed to interface with Smith & Nephew Endoscopy's CONDOR^◊ Control System and its 660HD Image Management System for Digital Operating Rooms. The CONDOR^◊ Control System enables the medical staff to manage the operative environment from a single control panel. The 660 HD IMS enables facilities to capture and store high-definition surgical images, which can then be archived with the patient's medical history.
