Sony 4K 3D Medical Video Recorder

Supporting healthcare professionals throughout their workflow

The Sony HVO-4000MT is already firmly established as the most versatile, feature-rich 4K 2D and 3D medical recorder in its class. With the addition of DICOM Modality Work List support for a smooth metadata workflow and an HD input for flexible video integration, it’s now an even more compelling choice for clinical teams.

Integrated 4K workflow

The HVO-4000MT records 4K video and still images in 2D or 3D from endoscopic/laparoscopic cameras, surgical microscopes and other compatible imaging systems. Video files can be stored simultaneously on the recorder’s hard drive and external media or IP network server for patient records, training and education. The recorder simultaneously creates a Full HD copy of 4K source content for easy sharing and viewing on our 4K surgical monitors.

Capture your procedures 4K, 3D or 4K 3D

Ideal for documenting critical or rare cases or for training and education purposes, the HVO-4000MT supports both 4K resolutions of 4096 x 2160 (True 4K) as well as 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) and records them using the state-of-the-art Sony XAVC codec standard based on H.264/AVC format. Users can select bitrate range of 150, 100 or 60Mbps, depending on their requirements for picture quality and recording length.

The HVO-4000MT goes further towards future-proofing your workflow – supporting 4K 3D input as well (Line-by-Line and Top-and-Bottom). 3D signals are always recorded in top-and-bottom with a resolution of 3840×2160 and at 59.94p/50p. Still images also can be saved any time during the procedure recording in 2D or in 3D format.

Patient information input via DICOM MWL

Support for DICOM Modality Work List allows automatic input of patient information from RIS or other DICOM worklist-servers via the hospital network. Hospital staff no longer need to manually key-in patient information data before surgery, avoiding human error and saving time. (Requires firmware version 1.2 or later).

Simultaneous recording via network

The recorded data can be transferred from the operating room to computers via CIFS protocol over the network, for convenient and centralised storage and sharing. This can be done during the recording itself allowing users to access recorded files quickly after a recording is complete. Data transfer via CIFS can also be done at any other point in time from the recording list.

This eliminates the additional step of users having to transfer recordings onto their PC using an external media source and enables an effective network base for video sharing.

4K input support for 2D and 3D formats

HVO-4000MT accepts 4K video signal via four 3G-SDIs. Supported formats include 2D as well as 3D. For 3D input signals Line-by-Line as well as Top-and-Bottom are supported which will be recorded in top-and-bottom 3D video format.

In addition, HVO-4000MT accepts HD video input via 3G-SDI. Supported formats are 1920 x 1080 59.94p/50p (2D BT.709 only. Requires firmware version 1.2 or later).
