Description of the equipment
The camera you have purchased is a state-of-the-art Colour-CCD-Camera, which was especially designed for
endoscopic applications.
Full digital signal processing ensures true colour reproduction. All adjustments of the camera are controlled by
On Screen Display (OSD).
The camera consists of a control unit and a complete watertight camera head.
Located at the front of the ergonomically shaped camera head, there is a C-Mount-Thread adaptation, where you
can connect usual lenses, vario-focus TV-couplers or other couplers to connect the endoscope.
Located inside the camera head is the CCD-chip, which takes the image and converts it into electric signals.
These signals are conducted through the camera cable to the control unit.
Inside the control unit, the image data is processed and is provided either as Standard-VBS-Signal (BNC-
connector, VHS-standard) or as Hosiden-Signal (Y/C-signal, Mini-DIN-connector, S-VHS-standard) on the
rearpanel for displaying on the monitor and/or other devices, such as videoprinter, videorecorder, etc.
The image-brightness is controlled by an electronic shutter, which is working with a shutter-cycle at minimum of
1/2.000.000 sec., so that even when the image is totally irradiated a well-balanced video picture is delivered to
the monitor.
If the image is extremely dark illuminated, the shutter cycle becomes so high, that it is impossible to display a
flicker-free picture. In this case, the videosignal is emphased electronically by max. +30dB.
This electronic emphasis is called AGC (Automatic Gain Control). It has to be taken into account, that the noise
on the picture is increased, when the AGC is working.
In order to be prepared to work under extreme illumination conditions, the control unit of the camera offers
further features to improve the image quality (WINDOW- and PEAK-function). Using these features, you are
able to correctly display objects, which are illuminated inhomogeneously.

Mains switch (1)
The control unit is switched on by switching the mains switch.
The mains switch has two different switching positions:
I ON switched on
O OFF switched off
When the control unit is switched on, this is indicated by the up-light green lamp inside the switch.
Push button: WHITE BALANCE (2)
The WHITEBALANCE is done by pressing the corresponding push button.
Therefore, aim the camera head on a homogeneously illuminated white sheet of paper or a well illuminated
multi-colour object. Simultaneously, press the push button once. The button then will flash until the WHITE
BALANCE is finished. The current WHITE BALANCE is stored in memory and is also saved, when the camera
is switched off.
Take notice, that the paper-sheet or the multi-colour object is not irradiated, that means, e.g. that the grain-
structure of the paper is visible on the monitor.
If WHITE BALANCE is done correctly, a natural colour reproduction is guaranteed. The current attitude is
stored in the camera and remains after switching off.
Push button: WINDOW (3)
The WINDOW-function is turned on and off by pressing the corresponding push button.
The WINDOW-function carries out a light measurement that only affects a central window of the picture. That
means, that in contrast to standard measurement, where the average brightness is integrated over the entire
picture size, only a centre part of the image is taken to evaluate the average brightness, outer margins are
disregarded.
To activate the WINDOW-function, push the corresponding button. If the WINDOW-function is activated, a
yellow light inside the push button is up-light and a light-blue rectangle appears on the monitor picture for a
short time, that represents the area, that is taken for brightness evaluation.
If the object to be regarded is in the centre of the picture, you should activate the WINDOW-function. The object
itself is displayed correctly illuminated on the monitor and the outer margins of the screen are displayed
proportionately darker or brighter.
Anewed pressing of the button, deactivates the WINDOW-function.
Push button: Menu (4)
Many settings of the camera can adjusted via On-Screen-Display (OSD).
The Menu button possesses the following functions:
1) Adjust the brightness amplification:
Pushing the Menu button once show the current brightness amplification it’s possible to changed
between three attitudes, by pushing the Menu button renewed, within one second :
MIN,
MID,
MAX
2) Enter the Setup-Menu:
Keeping pressed the Menu button for some seconds gives you access to the Setup-Menu. The main
menu appears on the monitor:

Rev 2.0 BA-E-SwiftcamX –Eickemeyer 14-12-2005.doc
Many adjustments can be easily done via sliders. If the OSD is active, the buttons on the frontpanel are used to
operate through the menu. The functions of the buttons are as follows:
WHITEBALANCE moves slider to the left
WINDOW 1. enters a menu option or
2. moves slider to the right
MENU 1. show the contrast amplification,
2. steps through the menu options
The following diagram gives a survey of the entire menu options:
If the main menu is active, you can step through the menu by pushing the menu button. The active menu option
is marked by a small triangle. If you want to enter a sub-menu, press the WINDOW button.
CAUTION: If no sub-menu is available, pressing the WINDOW button executes the active option! Take care,
when the FACTORY SETTING option is selected. The camera is reset to factory settings !
The meaning of the different menu options and sub-menu options are now described:

Connector for Camera cable (5)
This connector is used for attachment of the plug of the camera cable.
The plug can only be plugged in a certain position. This is achieved by a small nose on the top of the plug.
The red mark on the 14-pin-plug must correspond with the red mark on the socket to install the plug.
The plug fastens automatically when completely plugged in.
To unfasten the plug, grip the knurled part of the plug and pull the plug out of the socket.
Video outputs (6)
You can attach external output-devices such as monitor, videorecorder or videoprinter to the VIDEO-
OUT connectors.
The videosignal is provided in three different standards.
The two BNC-terminals provide the videosignal as VBS-signal (composit-signal, VHS-standard).
The 4-pin-Y/C-terminal provides the videosignal as Hosiden-signal (separate conductors for chroma- and
luminance-signal, S-VHS-standard).
Optionally, the camera can be equipped with RGB-output
All video outputs are available simultaneously, so that all standards can be used at one time.
You should better use the Y/C-signal than VBS-signal if possible, because you will achieve a much better image
quality in contrast to standard VHS-standard.
With RGB output, you will achieve a once more improved image quality, the devices then connect to the camera
must support this standard.
Pot. ground connector (7)
Basically, the control unit is protectively earthed by the 3-pin power supply cord when it is connect to a
protectively earthed wall socket, as prescribed.
When running the equipment in rooms which comply to class 1 or 2E according to MedGV, the control unit
must be joined to the central potential equalisation of the operating theatre or of the equipment trolley by means
of a grounding cable.
Fuse holder (10)
Contains the mains fuses.
Line connector (9)
The plug of the power supply cord is connect to the mains terminal device.

BA-E-Swiftcam X-neutral-2005.doc Rev 2.0
Connecting and operating the equipment
All wiring has to be done before switching on the equipment !
Connect the power supply cord !
Use the delivered protectively earthed power supply cord to connect the control unit to the mains.
Connect the camera cable !
Install the plug of the camera cable in the corresponding socket on the frontpanel as described above.
You can connect all lenses and endoscope couplers to the camera head, which are equipped with a C-Mount-
Thread or CS-Mount-Thread. When you use objectives with CS-Mount-Thread, an additional intermediate ring
is necessary.
Your dealer supplies various lenses and couplers for your special requirements.
Connect the external output devices !
As described before, there are several standards of videosignal available on the rearpanel. Here you can connect
external output devices such as monitor, videorecorder, videoprinter, etc. If you are using standard VBS-signal
(BNC-terminal), please always apply high-quality 75Ω-coaxial cables. If the external output device has a
switchable 75Ω-termination resistor, you should switch this on. If you connect several devices in a row, only the
last device in the line needs to be terminated by the termination resistor.
If the external device does not provide such a termination resistor, you should connect the coaxial cable via a T-
connection-adapter. The open end of the T-connection adapter is then terminated with the 75Ω-resistor.
Connect the potential equalisation conductor !
Join the terminal device for potential equalisation on the rearpanel with the central potential equalisation of the
operating theatre or of the equipment trolley.

Note for users of fiberscopes
If you are using the camera in conjunction with a fiberscope, there can appear moiré-effects on the monitor,
because of interferences with the matrix of the image guide. The camera is therefore equipped with an electronic
anti-moiré filter.

Rev 2.0 BA-E-SwiftcamX –Eickemeyer 14-12-2005.doc
Operating the equipment
After having installed all connections, the camera can be set to work.
Switch on the control unit using the mains switch on the frontpanel. The green lamp inside the switch lights up.
If all other devices are switched on, a picture appears on the monitor.
Now switch on the lightsource and set the intensity to an average brightness.
Now proceed with the Whitebalance. Therefore, aim the camera head on a homogeneously illuminated white
sheet of paper or a well illuminated multi-colour object. Simultaneously, press the push button once and wait
until the button stops flashing.
Take notice, that the paper-sheet or the multi-colour object is not irradiated, that means e.g. that the grain-
structure of the paper is visible on the monitor.
Now the regarded image is displayed correctly illuminated and true-coloured on the monitor, if the colour-
adjustment of the monitor is set to a neutral value.
Using the camera in conjunction with a lightsource
If you are using a lightsource, that does not provide a automatic intensity control via video level, set the intensity
to an average brightness. The powerful shutter guarantees a correct exposure. If there is not enough illumination
available, the videosignal is automatically emphased by the Automatic Gain Control. This will add noise to the
monitor picture. In this case you should increase the output intensity of the lightsource.
If you are using a lightsource with automatic intensity control via video level, the co-operation of both controls -
shutter control of the camera and lightlevel control of the lightsource - can produce excellent results.
If there appear variations on the monitor resulting from counteractions of both controls, switch off the lightlevel
control on the lightsource.

Exchanging the mains fuses
The mains fuses are located on the rearpanel of the control unit, right above the mains terminal device in a small
drawer. If you need to exchange the mains fuses, proceed as follows:
- PULL OUT THE MAINS PLUG !
- Loosen the drawer by unfastening the two clamps located to the left and to the right of the drawer with a
peaked tool and pull out the drawer.
- Take out the fuses.
- Check the fuses. A blown fuse is indicated by the blackened glass cylinder or the visibly melted fuse
conductor. If necessary, check the fuse with an ohmmeter.
- Install the corresponding fuses. Only with high breaking capacity (I
a
= 1500 A) according to IEC 60127-2 /
V, H !
- Re-install the fuse-drawer.
- Switch on the equipment again. If you have exchanged a defective fuse against a new one and the fuse blows
again, the unit has an error. In this case, you must return the device to your dealer for testing and repair.
Cleaning / Disinfecting
NOTE: PULL OUT THE MAINS PLUG !
All parts of the outer surfaces of the equipment are totally insensitive to all the usual cleaning and disinfecting
materials, so that you can use any of these without limitation. Apply liquids using a soft cloth or soft blotting
paper, in order to avoid scratches on the surfaces and in order to be able to control the amount of liquid.
With flammable liquids like alcohol especially, you should apply with a cloth. Do not let any liquid get into the
equipment. After cleaning with flammable liquids, leave the equipment to dry for one hour, before it is switched
on again. There is danger for example that an alcohol-air explosive mixture could form after cleaning. For
medical applications the device will be delivered with a
waterproof camera head. The camera head can be put for disinfection purposes into a disinfection solution.
Please note, that the plug of the camera cable is not waterproof and may the entire cable into the disinfection
solution be thus never inserted !
The cable and the plug can be wipe off however with a cloth and something disinfection solution.
Never autoclave the camera head and cable!

Portable and mobile radio transmitter should
not be use within the recommended safety
distance to the SWIFTCAM (including the
lines)!
The recommended safety distance will be
calculate by the appropriate transmitting
frequency formula.

In the enviroment of equipment which bore the
following pictograph, it is possible to appear
interferences.
Note 1: At 80 MHz and at 800 MHz the higher result is valid.
Note 2: This guideline may not be the case for all situations. The spread of electromagnetic waves will
be affect by absorption and reflexion of buildings, objects and humans.

The electric field strength of fixed transmitter, like wireless telephones, mobile radio services, AM- and FM
broadcast transmitter and TV transmitter, couldn’t be predetermine correctly. In order to ascertain the
electromagnetic enviroment at fixed HF-transmitter, it is commendable to inspect the location. If the ascertained field
strength at the SWIFTCAM location exceed the specified correspondence level, it’s may be necessary to adopt other
means, e.g. reorientation or removal the SWIFTCAM.
By means of the frequency range from 150 kHz to 80 MHz the field strength is less than
3 V/m
