The recording of medical video images is becoming more relevant to the demands of the clinician, particularly in the fields of medical records, training and presentations.

Olympus has worked in partnership with Sony to provide the best-suited recording products for integration with endoscopy and ultrasound systems, all meeting the relevant international electro-medical safety standards

Sony UPA-P100MD Digital Capture Unit
The UPA-P100MD is a Digital Imaging Capture Unit designed for medical applications, including endoscopy and surgery.

The unit accepts analogue images from external video devices, such as CCD cameras, converting and saving them in digital format.  The integral hard disk drive has a large recording capacity of 20 GB that can store up to 15,000 non-compressed images.  Equipped with a built-in CD burner, either stills or video (in four minute segments) can be saved directly to CD.  The unit is capable of storing two hours of video on each CD - ideal for presentations, clinical studies and training.

Sony DSR-20MDP Digital Video Recorder
The DSR-20MDP is a digital video cassette recorder, specially designed for use in medical environments. High-resolution digital recording and playback ensures ideal reproduction of all medical images, such as those used in ultrasound diagnosis, endoscopic examinations, radiology and operating theatre procedures.  It provides a stable medium for long duration, high quality, video recordings in an easy-to operate, lightweight, highly mobile unit.

The Sony i.LINK interface provides a single cable connection to a PC, so that recorded video images can be easily included in training and presentation material.  Using this same interface, recordings can be copied for archiving or for distribution with virtually no quality loss.

Sony SVO-9500MDP S-VHS Video Recorder
Medical applications such as echo-cardiography, surgery and endoscopy demand absolute precision and certainty; color fidelity and resolution are not just important - they are essential for accurate analysis and diagnosis.  Sony developed the SVO-9500MDP videocassette recorder specifically for medical environments - in order to produce the optimal picture performance in these critical areas.

The S-VHS format guarantees superb high-resolution color pictures, twice the resolution of standard VHS, while a Digital Chrominance Noise Reducer (CNR) improves the accuracy of colour reproduction even further.  While remaining simple to set up and use, the SVO-9500MDP includes a number of practical operational features designed especially for the medical field.
