A surgical light apparatus includes a hub assembly configured to be attached to a ceiling, and an arm coupled for pivotal movement about the hub assembly. In certain embodiments, a monitor is mounted on a monitor mount attached to the arm. The monitor mount includes a handle on which a first actuator is mounted. A video input controller is electrically coupled to the monitor. The video input controller includes a first channel input having a video coupling for attachment to a first video input device providing a first video feed, a second channel input having a video coupling for attachment to a second video device providing a second video feed, and a channel controller coupled to the monitor, the first channel input, and the second channel input. The channel controller is coupled to the first actuator and is configured to select a video feed to the monitor in response to actuation of the first actuator. In certain embodiments, a camera mount is mounted to the arm. The camera mount includes a handle on which a second actuator is mounted. A camera is mounted on the camera mount. The camera includes an on/off function, automated zoom capabilities, and automated focus capabilities. Actuation of the second actuator controls the on/off function of the camera.
