The HVO-500MD is an HD surgical video recorder from Sony.
The HVO-500MD Medical Digital Network Recorder has been designed for use in a wide range of clinical environments, including hospital radiology and operating rooms, surgical centers and doctors’ offices.
Suitable for storing High Definition videos from ultrasound, digital X-ray, endoscopic, laparoscopic and other compatible diagnostic and surgical imaging systems, the recorder offers extensive connection options with a wide range of current and legacy devices.
The HVO-500MD stores HD or Standard Definition video on its high-capacity internal hard disk drive. Via simple menu selection, video can be recorded at the same time to an external USB drive or a network server. This simultaneous recording capability saves time, eliminating the need to export or copy video files to another storage medium after recording. It also provides an extra safeguard against the risk of losing valuable data.
High Definition video recording
Recording crisply-detailed HD video at up to 720p, the HVO-500MD offers an improvement in image quality over Standard Definition recording devices.
Simultaneous recording on internal HDD and external media
To minimize the risks of accidental data loss, video files can be recorded onto the internal hard disk drive simultaneously with a connected USB drive or a network server. This also helps to shorten workflow, since videos do not need to be exported or copied onto another device after being recorded onto the internal HDD.
Long recording time, even in HD at best image quality settings
The recorder’s high-capacity disk drive allows long video recordings without interruption, even in High Definition. A choice of three Image Quality settings (Standard/High/Best) permits between 60 and 194 hours of HD video recording (or between 158 and 348 hours of SD video). Each individual recording can be up to 24 hours long. Videos can be exported as either high quality AVCHD or PC-friendly MP4 files.
Wide range of interfaces and network data transmission
The HVO-500MD is compatible with a wide range of modalities, including current HD as well legacy SD devices. Interfaces are provided for HDMI, DVI, composite video, S-Video and audio, as well as networked data transmission through CIFS to a centralized server.
Pre-recording function
The preceding five seconds of video are continuously captured before the start of recording is triggered, ensuring that important moments aren't lost.
