Endoscopic Video Camera BF-VC-4K and LED Light Source BRF-L

Brightfield BF-VC-4K Endoscopic Video Camera with BRF-L LED Light Source

The Brightfield BF-VC-4K video camera and BRF-L LED light source form an endoscopic imaging system for diagnostic examinations and minimally invasive surgical procedures. The camera delivers 4K Ultra HD video, while the LED light source provides illumination through a compatible fiber-optic light guide. Both devices can be integrated into endoscopy towers used in operating rooms, surgical departments, and specialized examination facilities.

The combination supports various types of endoscopic optics, including laparoscopes, arthroscopes, hysteroscopes, cystoscopes, and other rigid endoscopes. High-resolution imaging, adjustable video parameters, and controlled illumination help clinicians examine anatomical structures, assess tissue conditions, and monitor surgical instruments during procedures.

BF-VC-4K Camera: 4K Imaging and Flexible Video Settings

The BF-VC-4K camera delivers an output resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels (4K UHD), providing detailed visualization on a compatible 4K surgical monitor. Its configuration includes a compact camera head and a separate control unit with a touchscreen interface for adjusting image settings during endoscopic examinations and interventions.

Eight endoscopy scene modes are available for different clinical applications, including laparoscopy, ENT procedures, hystero-urology, cystoscopy, arthroscopy, percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED), and ureteral endoscopy. These selectable modes help operators adapt the camera configuration to the procedure being performed.

Image settings include brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and gain adjustments. Three color modes — Cool, Warm, and Custom — offer additional control over color reproduction. Gamma correction, noise reduction, dynamic range adjustment, and exposure metering settings provide further options for adapting video output to different visualization conditions.

Video Recording, Image Control, and Connectivity

The BF-VC-4K supports both photo capture and video recording, with the option to save examination and procedure materials to external storage devices. Recorded images and videos can be played back via USB for subsequent review.

The Freeze function holds the current frame on the display for closer inspection. Additional image controls include vertical and horizontal shifting, as well as image flipping, allowing operators to adjust the orientation of the displayed endoscopic view.

For connection to surgical monitors and other compatible video equipment, the camera includes DVI, HDMI 2.0, and SDI output interfaces. LAN connectivity supports file transfer and remote live viewing, expanding the system’s options for image management and integration into clinical workflows.

BRF-L LED Light Source: Adjustable Endoscopic Illumination

The BRF-L is an endoscopic LED light source equipped with an 80 W LED module. It delivers a luminous flux of 3000 lm and operates at a color temperature of 5000 K, producing white illumination suitable for observing internal anatomical structures during endoscopic procedures.

Brightness can be adjusted manually to match the requirements of a particular examination, surgical technique, or endoscope. A digital indicator displays the selected brightness level, helping operators maintain consistent illumination settings throughout the procedure.

The light source features a 10 mm light cable connector and universal light guide compatibility. It operates within a spectral range of 400–700 nm and can be integrated with compatible rigid and flexible endoscopic instruments.

LED Service Life, Cooling, and Operational Safety

The BRF-L LED module has a specified operating life of at least 50,000 hours. Active air cooling helps dissipate heat during extended procedures, while integrated protection against overheating and overcurrent contributes to reliable operation.

The device also features tool-free access to the fuses and LED module, simplifying maintenance and servicing. Its compact design makes it suitable for installation on standard endoscopic equipment carts and surgical towers.

The BF-VC-4K camera head has an IP67 ingress protection rating, while the main control unit is rated IP00. These specifications should be considered when selecting appropriate cleaning procedures and arranging the equipment within the operating environment.

Clinical Applications of the BF-VC-4K and BRF-L System

The endoscopic video camera and LED light source can be used as part of imaging systems for several medical specialties:

• Laparoscopic surgery: visualization of abdominal anatomy and monitoring of instruments during minimally invasive procedures.
• Gynecology: diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy and other endoscopic gynecological interventions.
• Urology: cystoscopy, ureteroscopy, and procedures involving the urinary tract.
• Arthroscopy: examination of intra-articular structures and visual guidance during joint surgery.
• Otorhinolaryngology (ENT): endoscopic examinations and surgical procedures involving the ear, nose, and throat.
• Endoscopic spine surgery: PTED procedures performed with compatible spinal endoscopic instruments.

The BF-VC-4K camera and BRF-L light source are suitable for assembling new endoscopic imaging stations or upgrading existing systems with compatible surgical monitors, endoscopes, and light guides.
