The image is upscaled by the processor and enhanced electronically. Secondly the hole concept of using 1080 Hd resolution in 16:9 aspect ratio is against the way surgeons actually operate. All laparoscopes are round, to get a full screen image 16:9 you have to blow the 1080 inage up (with a lens or electronic zoom) or stretch it out optically. Either way the image is not showing 1080 lines, and has a distortion effect. Effectively round circles fit more snuggly inside a square that a rectangle, therefore you dont loose so much information off the periphery both side and top. Dont get caught up in their marketing hype. When you use a laparoscope the quality of the lens has a marked effect on the image, and slight chip, fog or moisture invasion deteriorated the image significantly and dont forget the light guide cable, most hospitals reuse these to death thereby significantly lowering the light quality and colour. The chip on the tip concept is actually very valid as there are less interfaces to distort and discredit the image. In the future one of these with a 1920*1080 lens would blow everyone away im sure. firstly, The KS chip is not 1080P (no manufacturers is) nor is it 1920*1080 in size or resolution.

You are using logrithms to interject lines that don't exist in the original chip design to make it fill a 1080p chipsize. I sell these cameras, and the technology has come a long way, but there are still factors that need improvement, like having to have a 300W Xenon light source for the chip to have decent imaging for anything deeper than a few millimeters. I have spoken at length to the manufacturer who makes 700,000 of these each year, most likely for each distributer but packaged differently, and there are still limitations. It IS CERTAINLY an improvement over traditional analog systems, so don't fire hatemail back at me, but you have to have 1080p to start with if you want 1080p resolution. Line doubling a 720p camera does not equal 1080p. There is a huge diference between 720p & 1080p, even when the 720p is line doubled.

Processing the image up to 1080p is the way. Only chips that have a native 1080p is in broadcast market. They de-interlace the video to make it p from i. 720p vs up-processed 1080p is virtually the same in a side by side comparrison. The KSI chip most likely does not have a native resolution of 1080p.

Now, however, you people will be able to um, partake, in viewing the “first HDTV surgery ever broadcast” as National Geographic HD airs a special presentation of the 1080p system in action. According to a doctor that actually got to experience the technology first-hand, the KSEA HDTV Surgical System provides a widescreen, Full HD look at what’s going on within, employs a 3CCD camera with an acquisition resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, and outputs an image that is progressively scanned and displayed at 60 full frames-per-second. We’d recommend you tune in to the aforementioned show on September 16th if the channel is available in your neck of the woods, but you may want to click on and see a few stills of the KSEA in action before subjecting yourself (read: your weak stomach) to the real deal.
