PCE Instruments PCE-VE 1500-38209 Endoscope Probe diameter: 3.8 mm Probe length: 2 m

This digital endoscope is the only device in the PCE-VE 1500 series with two cameras. One of them is aligned on the front, the other on the side. Both are positioned very close together on the camera head. Next to each camera an LED is arranged, with which the field of vision can be illuminated if necessary. Settings on the endoscope for the image display on the display and for the illumination of the camera view field take effect simultaneously for both cameras and both light sources. The user can select at any time whether the digital endoscope displays the current image of the front camera, the side camera or both side by side on the large display of the touch screen. The simultaneous display of both cameras makes orientation during visual inspection much easier. It is also advantageous to use both the front and side camera, even in very confined spaces.However, images and videos cannot be recorded in parallel with both cameras. When recording in the viewing mode, in which both cameras are visible, the endoscope only saves the images of the activated camera. If the user has activated image labels, they only appear on the image of the activated camera. By default, under the Watermark menu item, the digital endoscope provides for example fade-ins such as date and time or the camera name as CAM1 or CAM2 on. When the camera is activated, the selected labels appear in small red on the image border. If the other camera is to be activated, works very easily with this endoscope via the touch screen. It is sufficient to double-tap their image in the view, in which the images of the two cameras are shown side by side.The flexible endoscope cable, which is only 3.8 mm thick, is approx. 1.87 meters long from the front edge of the camera head to the rubber coating. This digital endoscope can also be used to examine inside surfaces and parts that are only accessible via very narrow openings. The camera head, which is flexible in all directions via a joystick, has a length of 42 millimeters and a bending radius of 35 mm at 90 degree of bending angle.Special features of the PCE-VE 1500 seriesEach digital endoscope of this series has the same basic device with extensive functions and meaningful accessories. The different models differ only in the different cameras and the lengths and diameters of the camera cables. This endoscope is very comfortable to use through function keys, touch-screen and joystick on the base unit.With battery and camera unit, the digital endoscope weighs only a little more than two kilograms. The device can be easily carried with one hand. For longer use, depending on the environment, the shoulder strap, a magnetic holder or a stand can also be attached to the designated mounting points. While the endoscope is held with one hand, the joystick and function keys can also be operated on the handle with the same hand. These function keys include the image trigger and the light intensity control button for the camera field of view. The camera cable can be guided with the other hand.Exchangeable endoscope cable with motor One of the standard features of these digital endoscopes is the motor-assisted movement of the camera head. This is why the camera, camera cable and motor are designed as a common unit. This complete camera unit can be replaced without any problem if needed. The connection to the endoscope base unit can be easily fixed and released. To increase resistance, the cable was covered with tungsten mesh and the tip of the camera head was made of a titanium alloy.Control of the camera head by JoystickIn order to use the camera's field of view to capture exactly the points to be examined, the camera head of the digital endoscope can be moved with the joystick. The camera head can be bent in all directions, in places more than 180 degrees. The joystick is designed and placed between the handle and the display so that it can be easily operated with just one finger.Touch-screen functionsThe endoscope not only shows the current and saved images individually on the seven-inch display. With the picture in picture function it also allows the comparison of the current picture with a saved one. As a touch-screen, the monitor also offers a very easy and fast access to the menu functions. The many features that the digital endoscope provides to mark details and place annotations on the images would be hard to use without the touchscreen. The current and stored images can be digitally enlarged several times on the display. To do this, it is sufficient to tap the picture twice or to pull it apart with two fingers. The enlarged section can be moved with the finger on the touch screen if required. This allows you to control the entire image directly on the endoscope. On stored images, important details can be immediately circled, indicated by arrows or labeled on the touch screen. These marked pictures can then be saved under the old name or as additional pictures. The icons for additional functions allow you to operate the digital endoscope via touchscreen for the most part. With the help of the picture in picture function the current live picture can be compared, for example, with an image that is currently "frozen" or with an image that has already been saved earlier. By default, the live image appears in the upper right corner as a section. Double-tapping leads to a large picture and the older picture turns right up. InterfacesThe endoscope has the following connections for data transfer: USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Audio, WiFi and a memory card slot for SD cards up to 128 GB. All interfaces are arranged under a cover in the base unit to the left of the touch screen.
