The Pentax EPM-1000 has been designed to be lightweight and
super small, while maintaining high resolution and superior image quality.  As a result, the space needed for this system has been substantially minimized.  A small endoscope system has now been realized at a reasonable price.

Small and Lightweight

The EPM-1000 is small with  (W)300mm x (H)150mm x (D)400mm,  and weighs only 18.7lbs. The compact size makes it possible to minimize the space needed and the low weight facilitates easy transportation between endoscopy rooms.

Ultra-high Resolution Images

The EPM-1000 provides extremely high-resolution images with excellent color reproduction. This video processor has been designed to provide genuine color. The clear, bright image is obtained by combining the EPM-1000 and the super small CCD chip which has been incorporated into the Pentax slim sized endoscopes.

Lighting Selections

Brightness levels may be established by the operator or automatically controlled by the video processor in two ways.  Average brightness mode or Peak brightness mode. Bright-ness circuitry is automatically regulated to eliminate virtually any image whiteout when moving from dark to light areas and ensures the most appropriate illumination conditions for each situation.

Easy Handling / Color Adjustment Functions

With one-touch operation, color is easily adjusted according to a doctor's preference. The best white balance setting is remembered by the processor for each endoscope so that color adjustment needs to be done only once.
