The University of Dakar relies on Arec for medical simulation

In the medical simulation center of the Dakar University Media Station LS-300 has been installed, as well as the CI-T21H and A-VC01 VersaCam cameras.

The Dakar University has equipped more than a dozen practical surgery rooms with the technology of Arec, brand that distributes Avit Vision, for recording, streaming and viewing of medical and educational content.

LCS Technodidac designed with Arec a multifunctional practical recording and live streaming surgery room that is now used by the university to train Senegal's future medical workers.

The University of Dakar or Cheikh Anta Diop is one of the largest institutions of higher education in Senegal and West Africa., with some 60.000 enrolled students. It is known for the diversity of its programs, which include several medical disciplines.

This year, decided to improve training facilities for aspiring surgeons and announced a tender to equip more than a dozen practical surgery rooms with audio-visual technology for recording, transmission and display of medical and educational content.

The main element of the Arec solution installed is the Media Station LS-300, a three channel device capable of mixing, toggle, gravedigger, transmit and backup all audio and video material.

One of the characteristics that define this station is its comfort of use.. Users can control the system in the way that is most comfortable for them.

In the case of medical students at the simulation center, Its preferred way of control is through interactive graphical user interface or GUI for short. This method allows students to access all the main functions, including changing designs, live video editing, the start of recording and streaming, taking snapshots, Export entire videos to USB drives and even allow you to control PTZ movement of cameras with a standard computer mouse.

Regarding video sources for the station, the university uses automatic tracking cameras CI-T21H. These are professional PTZ cameras with infrared tracking technology.. This ensures that users do not have to operate the cameras manually.

To offer a different perspective, sometimes one of the cameras is changed for the A-VC01 VersaCam, an HDMI and USB camera with auto-framing and 4K mode. Depending on conference requirements, Medical lessons are recorded from a connected computer or medical devices directly.

Having met expectations, The University plans to install Arec systems in other facilities of the medical department.
