Abstract

We have developed 8K-ultra high definition (UHD) endoscopic system and 8K-UHD microscope system to reduce the burden on surgeons and contribute to improving medical safety. On the other hand 8K-UHD video has large data size than the conventional one such as HD and 4K-UHD videos, and it is difficult to secure sufficient recording time. Moreover these systems are expected to be used only in operating rooms, and extra technical supports and special player devices are required for presentation of 8K-UHD surgical movies by surgeons at academic meetings. Therefore, by applying video compression encoding technology (H.265/HEVC), we have developed the 8K-UHD video recorder “RESTAR R8” that achieves both 8K-UHD image quality and ling-time recording. This new recorder enables medical professionals not only to record 8K-UHD video in the same way as conventional medical recorders in the operating room, but also to record, edit and play back outside the operating room with utilizing the network connection. We would like to continue working on technology and solution development so that we can utilize the recorder not only in the operating room and medical education fields, but also in a wide range of solution fields such as digital video, security and manufacturing inspection fields where 8K-UHD video is expected to be used in the future.
