BlueBox 4K Pedalset
The BlueBox 4K Pedalset camera is the next-generation live-view imaging system with 4K resolution (Video) at 30 FPS. It comes with a Sony Exmor CMOS sensor with high sensitivity, low dark current, and no smear achieved through the adoption of R, G, and B primary color mosaic filters.
The camera uses a standard C-mount interface for maximum compatibility with various microscopy systems. It can be used as a stand-alone recorder when connected to an HDMI monitor or television, or live-streamed to a PC via USB for image capture and video recording. The camera will switch automatically from stand-alone mode to PC mode when connecting the USB video cable.
The foot switch, in combination with stand-alone mode, allows the option to take images (left paddle) or start/stop video (right paddle).
Hardware 3D denoising, sharpness, and tone mapping control functions greatly improve image and video quality. The included BMS_pix3 Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. For Mac and Linux, there is a BMS_pix3 lite version of the software that can capture video and still images and includes limited processing features. The BlueBox 4K Pedalset camera is intended for the acquisition of digital images from the stereo microscope, biological microscope, or online interactive teaching.
