The BMS video stereomicroscope has an integral CCTV camera fitted within the housing of the stereo head. In all other respects the stereomicroscope has the exact optical and mechanical specification of the BMS with illuminated stand option. The BMSV has the same accessories options as the BMS range.

The 1/3rd inch CCD chip supports PAL only and is therefore not suitable for the North American NSTC system. The output of the CCTV unit can be either S-video analogue or digital.

    In analogue mode that is suitable for TV display,  the camera provides the equivalent of 450 lines and in digital mode gives a resolution of 712 x 582 pixels.

    The CCTV camera has the option of automatic or manual white balance control, together with automatic back light compensation and will respond to 3 lux of light.

    The digital image is TWAIN compliant and is supported by Windows 95, 98, 2000 and Windows XP and supports 24 bit true colour.

    The minimum computer specification requires CPU: P11 200 or above, at least 125M of RAM, at least 300M of hard disk space, together with a CD drive and USB port.
