Sony completes its line of surgical monitors with new 4K HDR 3D/2D models

The new LMD-XH550MT and LMD-XH320MT monitors use Sony Local dimming panel to achieve high levels of brightness and contrast ratio.

Sony has expanded its range of surgical monitors with LCD screen with two new models, one of 55 inches (LMD-XH550MT) and another of 32 inches (LMD-XH320MT).

These devices can be combined with endoscopes., Microscopes and surgical robots for accurate visualization in healthcare and training environments.

The monitors provide detailed resolution in 4K HDR and Sony's local dimming panel technology, that improves visibility through optimal control and accurate reproduction of highlights and shadows, in addition to support for 3D y 2D.

Sony has incorporated improved image quality for more contrast and fewer halos for blood and tissue structures, new interface options, Updated image enhancement technology and easy-to-integrate design.

Immersive image quality

The new Sony monitors are characterized by having a detailed 4K image resolution (3.840×2.160) supports 2D and 3D signals from standard definition signals (SD) or high definition (HD), thanks to its efficient scaling capacity.

Use Sony's local dimming panel technology to achieve high levels of brightness and contrast ratio. They also support HDR when receiving signals HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) from a compatible diagnostic imaging system, when selecting HLG signals in monitor gamma setting mode, in order to improve visibility through greater control and accurate reproduction of highlights and shadows.

He panel LCD The new models' advanced signal processing technology enables consistent and accurate reproduction of a wide range of colors. (compatible con ITU-R BT.2020).

Besides, Monitors minimize glare for sharp, high-contrast images, even in brightly lit operating rooms.

With the addition of 3D viewing in HD and 4K, Sony LMD-XH550MT and LMD-XH320MT can increase gradation, texture, depth of field, color immersion and expression, which are fundamental data in a surgical environment.

These monitors also incorporate AIME technology (Advanced Image Multiple Enhancer – advanced multi image enhancer) for the improvement of structures, colors, contrast and shadows.

Extensive capabilities

They are compatible to make connections with a range of inputs, among which can be mentioned, SDI (12G/3G), display port, HDMI, DVI-D and AC/DC input (available on model LMD-XH320MT), which means that these new monitors are ideal for integration into operating rooms.

The LMD-HX550MT and LMD-XH320MT monitors can display 3D and 2D signals in HD and 4K. Multiple image modes supported, including split screen, Picture in Picture (image on image) (PIP), Picture out Picture (image out of image) (POP) or image rotation in 180 degrees (image rotation).

3D PIP/POP multi-image display options include two screens with a 3D/2D primary image and a 2D secondary image, or three screens with three 2D images.

Besides, The function to clone its outputs allows simultaneous viewing on a secondary monitor with various settings activated, how to AIME the PIP, which is very useful for training and surgical training. This also allows users to record the same content that is being viewed. The resolution of the cloned output can be selected in 4K or HD depending on the usage.

Optimized design

New models offer a smooth surface and optimized back shape to easily clean liquids and gels from the LCD panel, control buttons and a back cover that guarantee a high standard of cleaning and disinfection.

The monitors also feature intuitive navigation and easy-to-install wiring., plus a foot pedal remote control via a stereo mini-jack to switch to the hands-free menu.

“Our 4K HDR surgical monitors are meticulously designed with the needs of surgeons and operating room environments in mind”, comment Ludger Philippsen, Health Director at Healthcare Solutions Europe, Sony. “With functions to brighten bright areas and darken shadows, as well as 4K resolution and 2D and 3D capability, surgeons will benefit from the additional information, the detail and depth that monitors provide, particularly when working with critical blood and tissue structures”.
