Medical professionals rely on the delivery of the highest quality video – whether it be within the hospital, to another campus location, or across the world. They count on it. They depend on HaiVision.
Video is now used throughout the medical industry. With the marvel of minimally invasive techniques as well as miniature medical devices to assist in life saving procedures, endoscopes (miniature cameras) and other motion video devices are now widely used. Clearly, video is essential within the procedure room. However, making this video available to consulting physicians, interns, and device experts involves critical communications. One of HaiVision’s achievements has been the development of quintessential video transmission systems for the medical community.
Traditional videoconferencing tools are everywhere within hospitals. They are perfect for making video phone calls, but are not the best with regard to video quality and session reliability. Physicians need the highest level of video quality matched with the highest reliability available.
The hai1000 is the quintessential codec for procedure room applications. The
hai1000 supports multiple streams of SD, HD, or computer video to support
point of view cameras, scopes, and visualization displays. In addition to the
highest quality point to point communications, due to its adhesion to industry
standards the hai1000 is equally capable of delivering video to low cost set top
boxes, soft players, and traditional conferencing endpoints.
HaiVision’s hai500 has been proven effective in the most rigorous communication, telesurgery – where surgical procedures are carried out at a distance using robotic implements. The most important factor in telesurgery is latency. Video encoders require some time to compress the video, and this time establishes the effectiveness of the hand-eye coordination. The hai500 is the best MPEG-2 encoder in its class, achieving a low 80-90 millisecond of end to end latency.
For streaming applications where low latency is important but not paramount, HaiVision also provides the TASMAN and OSCAR encoders and decoders. These appliances have been integrated into many medical environments including endoscopic transmission for training, streaming to storage for educational purposes, and light communications involving external video feeds within the procedure room. These are reliable, standards-based and cost-efficient products, enabling huge savings over traditional AV infrastructures. In fact, transporting video over IP can save over 50% on the cost of video infrastructure compared with baseband fiber/coax systems.
