The Pharos HD 1080p Coaxial Headlight Imaging System provides an exceptional, surgeon-centered view of the operative field, combining high-intensity fiber optic illumination with a coaxially aligned high-definition camera. By maintaining precise alignment between the light source and camera, the system ensures that the video perspective always mirrors the surgeon’s point of view, allowing operating room staff to follow the procedure in real time while preserving optimal illumination of the surgical site. This coaxial design eliminates shadows and maintains a consistent, distortion-free view of the area of interest, which is essential for complex or delicate procedures.
The integrated imaging system captures detailed 1080p video at 60 frames per second, producing smooth, clear footage suitable for documentation, training, or remote surgical observation. Digital image stabilization ensures steady recordings even during subtle head movements, while adjustable depth of focus from 10 to 24 inches (25–61 cm) allows surgeons to keep the operative field sharp across a range of distances. The system also includes a digital zoom function with up to 16X magnification, enabling visualization of fine anatomical structures without compromising image quality. A manual brightness control and a color temperature of 6,400 K with the High Bright Hatteras light source ensure consistent exposure, color accuracy, and a shadow-free operative field. Optional wide-angle lens adapters expand the camera’s field of view for broader contextual visualization.
Pharos HD is fully compatible with standard 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, allowing effortless connection to high-definition recording systems, integrated operating room recorders, and live streaming setups. The system’s lightweight construction supports prolonged surgical procedures without causing fatigue, while the fixed 4-inch (10.16 cm) spot diameter at a 16-inch (40 cm) working distance delivers high-intensity illumination precisely where it is needed. By combining surgical-grade lighting with a high-definition coaxial camera, Pharos HD enables accurate documentation, real-time monitoring, and educational applications, all while maintaining the highest standards of visual clarity, optical precision, and operative convenience.
Applications for the Pharos HD system span multiple surgical disciplines, including general surgery, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic procedures, orthopedic and spine operations, transplant and vascular surgery, ENT, plastic surgery, pediatric surgery, dental procedures, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and any clinical scenario requiring simultaneous illumination and high-definition imaging. This all-in-one solution ensures that both video capture and surgical lighting operate seamlessly, allowing clinicians and staff to focus entirely on patient care without compromise.
