The Sony HVO-550MD is an HD medical digital network recorder for hospital radiology and operating rooms, surgical centers and doctors' offices. It stores HD video from ultrasound, digital X-ray, endoscopic, laparoscopic and other compatible diagnostic and surgical imaging systems, with connection options for a wide range of current and legacy devices and external command accessories.
Video is stored in HD or Standard Definition on the internal hard disk drive and, via a simple menu selection, can be recorded at the same time to an external USB drive or network server, or burned directly to the internal DVD drive. This saves export time and adds a safeguard against data loss.
The HVO-550MD is a replacement for the DVO-1000MD. It shares the same command set for control via RS-232C or USB, which simplifies migration to a hard-disk-based HD workflow.
