Olympus CV-260: Mastering Endoscopic Imaging in Clinical Settings
The Olympus CV-260 video processor is an image processing centre designed for the most demanding endoscopic applications. Used in conjunction with the EVIS range of video endoscopes, it delivers clear, stable and accurate high-definition (HDTV) images thanks to sophisticated signal processing algorithms and precise colour management. Designed to meet the needs of gastroenterologists, pulmonologists and urologists, the CV-260 combines clinical robustness with functional flexibility.
One of its major advantages is its compatibility with autofluorescence imaging (AFI) and infrared imaging (IR), enabling specific examinations depending on the diagnostic context. Thanks to its automatic colour correction system, the CV-260 compensates for deviations caused by ageing RGB signals, ensuring consistent, flicker-free reproduction. The four-level adjustable contrast mode allows observation to be adapted to different lighting conditions and mucosal textures.
The CV-260 has several image enhancement modes, adjustable directly from the front panel, facilitating the observation of edges, structures or textures. It also allows electronic zoom and image size selection according to surgical requirements. For smooth operation, users can save custom presets including contrast level, colour settings and videoscope settings.
The CV-260 has patient information management capabilities: name, age, gender, date of birth, patient number and comments can all be entered and superimposed on the image. It can also be interfaced with external equipment such as video monitors, video recorders or printers for recording or real-time transmission.
Compact and designed for easy integration into a trolley or medical rack, it offers consistent performance while ensuring traceability and continuity of examinations. The configuration memory allows previous settings to be instantly retrieved each time the unit is switched on, optimising workflow.
The Olympus CV-260 video processor is therefore a comprehensive and effective solution for all healthcare professionals who want to combine image quality, ergonomics and reliability in their daily endoscopic practice.
