Sony SRG cameras help in the follow-up of surgical interventions

Thanks to the 64 SRG-300H cameras and 12 SRG-300SE that have been installed in different Spanish hospitals, Medical professionals can follow the different steps of the procedures, as well as distribute the images to any point in the world through videoconferencing systems using the Internet as a means of communication..

Med&Home is a Spanish medical integration company formed by specialized engineers that is dedicated to the development, Manufacture and installation of equipment for integrated interventional rooms and integrated operating rooms. The company was incorporated in the year 2008 and is currently composed of 10 Professionals distributed in their commercial departments, R+D and Customer Service.

Under the trade name viewLAB, Med&Home has developed a product for interventional rooms and operating room that allows the monitoring of live interventions for training and training purposes.

In its goal to improve the telecommunications systems of medical centers, The company has carried out the integration of 64 SRG-300H cameras and 12 SRG-300SE Sony in hospitals throughout Spain, as the Central University Hospital of Asturias, the San Carlos Clinic in Madrid, the University Clinic Virgen de La Arrixaca in Murcia, the University Clinic of Santiago de Compostela, the Virgen Macarena of Seville, the Álvaro Cunqueiro de Vigo, that of Ourense, the Gregorio Marañón in Madrid or the Universitario La Paz in Madrid.

Centralize video signals

Med&Home, Sony Medical accredited integrator, needed to centralize all video signals in order to distribute the signal internally to other rooms within each hospital using their telecommunications systems.. In this case, Auditoriums where large groups could follow the interventions of the live operations rooms.

As part of your viewLAB product, Med&Home needed an audiovisual solution with high image quality and optical zoom, and fast and effective handling and integration. "We needed to incorporate high-quality cameras into our viewLAB product., with a large optical zoom, that had a great amplitude and speed of movement, and that could be integrated into the control of our system in an effective way through the VISCA IP protocol. Sony's SRG-300 model was our choice.", explains José Antonio Gutiérrez Mendiguren, CEO of Med&Home.

Thanks to the strategic integration of Sony SRG cameras in Spanish hospitals, Medical professionals can follow the different steps of the procedures, as well as distribute the images to any point in the world through videoconferencing systems using the Internet as a means of communication.

On the other hand, View-DRTM technology extends dynamic range for clearer images in difficult backlit conditions with extreme points of light and dark in the same scene. XDNRTM technology reduces image noise for crisp reproduction of static and moving objects in low-light locations.

The SRG-360SHE cameras, SRG-300SE and SRG-300H also have a 30x optical zoom and a 12x digital zoom for close-ups where you can appreciate the details with maximum clarity, while the autofocus function ensures image clarity and sharpness even at high zoom levels. Depending on the type of installation and project specifications, integrations have included SRG-300H or SRG-300SE cameras and versions with HDMI or HD-SDI output respectively.

View-DR image processing produces high dynamic range images with high chrominance and luminance values even under less optimal lighting conditions in operating rooms. Among the results obtained, highlights the fact that, with a minimum illumination of 1.4 Lx, Sony SRG cameras are able to continue to deliver high quality images in dark or dim conditions.

As for the handling of the cameras, Both models have 340º horizontal movement ranges, vertical of 110º and a maximum speed of movement of up to 100º/sec, which makes them a solution that responds to customer needs.
