Karl Storz IMAGE 1™ HD H3-Z Camera Head

KARL STORZ IMAGE1 HD H3-Z camera head with three-chip Full HD imaging, progressive scan and integrated 15–31 mm parfocal 2× zoom for detailed endoscopic visualization.

KARL STORZ IMAGE1™ HD H3-Z – Camera Head

The KARL STORZ IMAGE1™ H3-Z is a three-chip FULL HD camera head designed for professional endoscopic imaging. It is part of the IMAGE1 HD camera platform and is intended to provide detailed, high-quality visualization during endoscopic and surgical procedures.

Three-Chip FULL HD Imaging

The H3-Z uses three 1/3-inch CCD image sensors and provides a maximum image resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The 16:9 image format and progressive scanning are designed to deliver detailed and smooth video reproduction during procedures.

The camera supports PAL and NTSC color systems and can operate at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, making it suitable for compatible installations using different video standards.

Integrated Parfocal Zoom Lens

A key feature of the H3-Z is its integrated Parfocal Zoom Lens. The optical zoom provides approximately 2× magnification, with a focal length of 15–31 mm according to KARL STORZ product documentation. The parfocal design maintains focus when the magnification is adjusted, allowing the operator to change the image framing without repeatedly refocusing.

Image Sensitivity and Visualization

The camera has a specified minimum sensitivity of approximately F 1.4 / 1.17 Lux. This specification supports image acquisition in the illumination conditions encountered with compatible endoscopic systems.

Ergonomic Camera Head

The H3-Z is designed for practical handling during endoscopic procedures. Its dimensions are approximately 39 × 49 × 114 mm and its weight is approximately 270 g. The camera incorporates a standard eyepiece adapter for connection to compatible optical systems.

The camera head also features two freely programmable buttons. Depending on the connected IMAGE1 system and configuration, these controls can be assigned to frequently used camera functions, allowing convenient operation directly from the camera head.

Connection and Cable

The H3-Z is equipped with a non-detachable 300 cm camera cable. Its standard eyepiece adapter allows connection to compatible endoscopic optical systems and facilitates integration into an appropriate KARL STORZ video configuration.

Sterilization and Reprocessing

The H3-Z is specified as soakable and gas- and plasma-sterilizable, allowing reprocessing according to the applicable manufacturer's procedures and validated methods. The exact cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization process should always follow the official KARL STORZ instructions for use.

System Compatibility

The IMAGE1 H3-Z is designed for use with compatible KARL STORZ IMAGE1 camera control units, including IMAGE1 HUB HD and IMAGE1 HD configurations identified in KARL STORZ documentation. The manufacturer also lists the H3-Z for use with compatible IMAGE1 S configurations.

Professional Endoscopic Imaging Solution

The KARL STORZ IMAGE1™ H3-Z combines three-chip FULL HD imaging, an integrated 2× Parfocal Zoom Lens, programmable camera controls, and a compact ergonomic design. Its configuration is intended for integration with compatible KARL STORZ IMAGE1 systems and endoscopic equipment requiring detailed, stable video visualization.
