So simple to use!

With clinics getting busier these days, it was seen as crucial that the new TRC-NW8 should be the easiest camera to use in order to obtain the best possible results time after time.
To facilitate this new TRC-NW8 incorporates some ground breaking technology to aid the photographer.

■Easy alignment, Auto Focus and Auto shoot

Alignment could not be simpler with the new TRC-NW8. Crucially the operator is still in control, however with the very latest in alignment aids the process of getting a sharp focussed image time after time could not be easier.

Auto Focus

This is a new feature of the TRC-NW8 which allows the operator to choose to have Auto Focus facility.
This can be of great help when trying to photograph difficult subjects or patients with high degree of accommodation. Auto Focus allows for a sharp image every time.

Auto Shoot

The TRC-NW8 has the option for Auto Shoot which is of great benefit to the operator as it monitors when all parameters are correct and takes the picture. This rapidly speeds up capture process and is of great benefit when photographing patients who have problems fixating.

High Quality Image

■True Optical Red Free Photography

Topcon has developed an innovative feature on its TRC-NW8: True optical red free capability with an actual red free filter. This feature allows for high resolution red-free image acquisition that is clearer than digitally enhanced images from colour-only imaging systems. As shown in the picture the red free and colour image capabilities are selectable by pulling out the RF filter.

■Auto Small Pupil Detection

A common problem are patients with small pupils and when mydriatic drops cannot be used the“Small Pupil”(min.φ3.3mm) option within the TRC-NW8 allows you to still be able to get a shot.

■Quality of image is crucial as well as durability

With these important requirements Topcon did not hesitate in deciding on which manufacturer it would use for its digital camera supplier. Nikon probably has the largest reputation when it comes to digital SLR cameras and is used by most of the worlds press for very good reason. Therefore you have no need to worry that your new TRC-NW8 will ever be compromised by the digital SLR in terms of quality of image or durability.

■Lower Flash Intensity

Topcon has always endeavoured to keep flash levels as low as possible while at the same time ensuring that good exposed images are achieved. The TRC-NW8 is no exception here, but with greater control of the CCD camera, optimum exposure can be achieved each and every time.

■Aesthetic Design

In designing the new TRC-NW8 a lot of attention has been spent on the general appearance of the unit with the finest finish and also on the ergonomics. What is clear when you sit down at the camera is how logical everything is and not cluttered by many different cables. The TRC-NW8 has a unique way of eliminating connecting cables and gives the operator a clutter free environment.

■Fixation Target

In line with the requirement for Diabetic screening, when the fixation target mode is set at DCF (“D” is for centre of optic disc, “C” is for central macula and “F” is for centre of Fovea), the internal fixation target will move one by one in proper position that can be helpful in diagnosis such as glaucoma and diabetes. The setting will change in the following order.

■IMAGEnet

Using comprehensive software for capturing, processing, archiving and consulting, IMAGEnet system expands the abilities of the TRC-NW8 into a digital imaging analysis system for clinical applications.

• NW8 Capture
  “NW8 capture”as a convenient module included in IMAGEnet is particularly easy, making it possible to control the following settings with operation of combo box.

■Direct Print Out

The new TRC-NW8 camera has the adding ability of being able to print directly to a digital printer (applicable for PictBridge) and therefore does not need a separate PC. This facility is extremely useful where portability is a high priority.
