Choose betwen HDMI output and USB 3.0
The digital microscopes from TAGARNO have two digital display options: HDMI output as well as one or more USB 3.0 ports. This is to offer as much flexibility as possible for the operator. The output of choice will open different opportunities which is important to keep in mind when setting up a digital microscope.
HDMI output creates a stand-alone digital microscope
With the HDMI output, the digital microscopes can be connected to a monitor via a HDMI cable. This is a common way to install the microscopes due to monitor compatibility.
The HDMI output also eliminates the need for a computer to power on or control the digital microscope, creating a stand-alone product. This makes the HDMI digital microscopes highly useful for small workstations with limited space but large-scale needs.
USB 3.0 output creates new opportunities for digital microscopes
Although not required to operate the microscopes, the live image of the digital microscopes can also be displayed on a computer via one of the USB 3.0 ports. This will enable you to to capture non-compressed videos or images of your inspections or share the microscope live image in an online meeting.
Displaying the live image on a computer via the USB 3.0 ports is also beneficial if you’re utilizing an API that is controlled on a computer. With an API, customers can integrate the microscope live image into their own setup and control the microscope remotely from the computer rather than using the included control box. Among other features that can be controlled with an API is zoom levels, presets and image capturing.
Despite their USB 3.0 output, the digital microscopes from TAGARNO are not to be confused with more simple handheld USB digital microscopes. Although available at a lower price point, these often come with inferior image quality which is far from ideal considering that many choose to go digital in order to produce high quality documentation material.
