OPERATING SYSTEM HAVING AN OPERATING LAMP AND A CAMERA

A method is described for displaying an image of an illumination field of a medical operation. The method includes recording an image at an illumination field of an operation, receiving a color temperature signal representative of an operating lamp that illuminates the illumination field of the operation, based on the received color temperature signal, adjusting parameters to compensate for differences in the received color temperature signal from white balance to produce a white balanced image, and outputting the white balanced image to a monitor.
