BlueBox 4K – High-Resolution 4K Imaging for Labomed medical microscopes
The BlueBox 4K Ultra HD Camera is designed for medical microscopes used in dentistry, otolaryngology, gynecology, ophthalmology and other clinical specialties. It delivers ultra-sharp 4K live imaging and high-resolution 8MP still images, supporting precise visualisation, clinical documentation and case review. When mounted on a Labomed microscope, BlueBox 4K enables real-time viewing on external monitors via HDMI, facilitating live observation, image capture and video recording. Accurate image reproduction ensures that fine anatomical details are clearly displayed, supporting confident clinical assessment and reliable documentation within the treatment environment.
Key Features:
- Resolution: 8MP for ultra-high-definition imaging
- Sensor: High-sensitivity Sony STARVIS back-illuminated CMOS sensor for bright, sharp, true-to-life images
- Video: 4K UHD 3840×2160 at 30 fps (HDMI) / 20 fps (USB) for smooth live viewing
- G Sensitivity: 505 mV @ 1/30 s
- Dark Signal: 0.1 mV @ 1/30 s
- Exposure Range: 0.04 – 1000 ms
- Image Processing: Advanced ISP with automatic exposure, white balance, contrast, sharpness adjustments and 3D denoising. 1×1 image scaling, embedded processing for high-quality capture.
- Output Options: HDMI, USB 2.0 and USB video/mouse for flexible clinical workflows
- Mount: Standard C-mount for seamless integration with medical microscopes
- Supported OS: Microsoft® Windows® 11 and higher, macOS & Linux. Still compatible with Windows 7/8/10, but for best performance the latest update is recommended, since Microsoft and we only support Windows 11 and higher. The BMS_pix3 software is available as a full version for Windows and a light version for Linux and macOS.
- Mobile Access: Free iOS and Android apps
- Applications: Clinical observation, medical documentation, image capture, video recording and case presentation
Advanced image processing for clinical accuracy
Clear, consistent imaging is essential in medical environments. The integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP) continuously optimises live images and recordings by automatically adjusting exposure, white balance, contrast and sharpness while reducing noise. This ensures stable, high-quality visuals without manual adjustments, allowing medical professionals to focus fully on the procedure.
- Multi-Output Connectivity for Flexible Clinical Workflows
- BlueBox 4K supports multiple output options to adapt to different clinical setups:
- HDMI: Real-time display on external monitors without the need for a computer
- USB 2.0: Direct connection to a PC for live viewing, image capture and video recording
- USB Mouse / Video: Stand-alone operation with mouse control or video transmission to a host system
Combined with the standard C-mount interface, BlueBox 4K integrates smoothly with medical microscopes, supporting both stand-alone use and computer-based documentation.
High-Definition visualisation via HDMI
With HDMI output, BlueBox 4K transforms a medical microscope into a high-definition visualisation system. With 4K Ultra HD resolution of approximately 8 million pixels (3840 × 2160), four times that of Full HD (1080p), live images are displayed with exceptional sharpness and detail directly on external monitors. This enables clear observation, documentation and explanation during examinations or procedures. The camera is powered via the supplied adapter, ensuring stable performance with minimal setup.
