Sony shows at Medica 2014 the advantages of 4K and IP infrastructure in the healthcare environment

From the 12 al 15 November is being celebrated in Dusseldorf (Germany) Medica 2014, Sony attended the trade show to showcase how technologies like 4K and low-latency IP infrastructure offer new opportunities for sharing content inside and outside the operating room..

Visitors who come to Medica 2014, an event that opened its doors on 12 November and will continue until Saturday 15 en Dusseldorf (Germany), you can see at the stand Sony how to capture, print, share and present images both inside and outside the operating room in the different phases of a medical workflow.

In addition, is also showing how its range of distance education and communication solutions improve the use of content captured in 2D and 3D, during pre- and post-operative discussions between surgical staff.

From the research, learning and diagnosis to surgical intervention and treatment, Sony redefines 2D and 3D medical imaging to help improve clinical decision making.

Visualization for medical images

Within your visual ecosystem, Sony is unveiling the latest generation of LMD-2765MD and LMD-2760MD monitors for minimally invasive surgery and microsurgery. They are LCD equipment 27 inches with OptiContrast technology, offering less reflections and clearer viewing, even in bright ambient lighting conditions.

Easy to use, These monitors produce Full HD quality color video images from endoscopic and laparoscopic cameras, as well as other compatible medical imaging systems.

In the environment of medical HD video recorders, The news focuses on the HVO-500MD models (without DVD optical drive) y HVO-550MD (with DVD optical drive), devices with high-definition recording capabilities that have been specifically designed for medical recording and support modern workflows that use internal hard drives and external USB devices (Flash memory or hard drive), or network-connected storage devices (NAS), as well as more conventional workflows using DVD-R discs.

4K for medicine

Sony will show at Medica 2014 how 4K technology, which offers four times the number of pixels than Full HD, can advance to the benefit of the medical market.

Visitors see how 4K over IP delivery is being planned and can discover how 4K can provide near-term clinical benefits.

3D content via IP

Sony is also showing at its stand how 3D content can be transferred over IP using video streaming, Live streaming of procedures and surgical education.

Sony's comprehensive 3D workflow helps surgeons, operating room staff and educators enjoy a more realistic visual experience. From image capture and playback to recording, editing and presentation, Sony 3D improves visual communication throughout the hospital center.

In addition, Sony has come up with the ergonomic HMS-3000MT head-mount viewer for use in endoscopic surgery, the latest 3D HD video recorder, el HVO-3000MT, and the LMD-3251MT 3D monitor for medical applications.

In the printing field, The latest generation of black and white peripherals are represented by the UP-D898MD models., UP-X898MD, UP-971AD and UP-991AD that improve medical application workflows, including technologies such as ultrasound.

Audiovisual solutions for health

Sony is unveiling how images captured before, during and after surgery can be transferred or archived for later use in clinical review, patient records and teaching both in person and remotely. Y, for it, has a wide range of solutions.

Educational sector:

• Vision Presenter: presentation tool that makes content sharing during conferences and seminars more efficient and engaging by intuitively controlling up to 10 content sources simultaneously, like videos, images and PowerPoint slides.
• SRG-300H: desktop or ceiling mounted color PTZ camera for video conferencing applications where visual images are needed, thanks to its 30x optical zoom and its frame rate of 60 fps.
• Content Management Server (CMS): technology demonstration prototype of their vision of on-demand education, in which you use your software application to manage the various contents that are generated in the operating room.
• Biblioteca de Optical Disc Archive (ODA): Rugged and reliable high capacity data storage solution that stores and archives all file formats of medical data and audiovisual assets for the long term.

Distance communication:

• PCS-XC1: portable Full HD video conferencing system, wireless and comprehensive ideal for medical communications.
• NXL-IP55: Live streaming of 3D images over a single LAN cable with low latency, for applications such as endoscopic surgery or microsurgery, where 3D images are frequently used. This technology allows real-time transmission of 3D images outside the operating room directly to doctors or during conferences.
