Medical professionals rely on the delivery of the highest quality video – whether it is within the hospital, to another campus location, or around 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 the miniaturization of 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 mission critical video transmission systems for the medical community.

Haivision's end-to-end HD video distribution system makes it possible to securely connect operating theaters to an unlimited number of locations and clinicians in real-time video collaboration and teaching events. Through a secure network connection and encrypted video streams, surgeons can now feel confident that their patient health information is protected, thus allowing an unlimited amount of health informatics to be exchanged for an improved collaboration experience. Haivision offers a complete HIPAA compliance toolkit to assure healthcare facilities the utmost patient confidentiality. Furthermore, physicians have the ability to record and store the entire procedure on the network for future viewing on demand applications such as medical presentations, clinical training, research, etc.

Haivision's codecs and encoders are ideal for operating room applications. The Mako™ supports multiple streams of SD, HD, or computer video to support point of view cameras, scopes, and visualization displays and deliver this media throughout the facility. Haivision’s Makito™ and Barracuda™ provide secure HD and SD video encoding and are the perfect match for the Furnace IP video distribution system.

Furnace is the ideal IP video platform for healthcare deployments. First, its InStream™ player technology requires no client side installation and is supported on virtually any platform. This means that IT does not need to install or maintain any viewing endpoint computer making installation simple. Second, through the integration of the Furnace Conditional Access Module with the hospital’s authentication system (ie: LDAP server) and the system-wide support for AES encryption, video access is 100% secure. Administrators can always report on who viewed what video, when. This is only available with Furnace due to the client / server architecture of the InStream player.

Haivision has extensive experience in healthcare. We support the most prominent uses of network video - telesurgery. Telesurgery is perhaps the most demanding network video application requiring the lowest latency and highest quality video transmission, usually over great distances. In fact, Haivision’s Mako codecs have supported the transmission of stereo high definition video required by today’s advanced surgical robotic systems.
