Free HD endoscopic camera guide

Endoscopic cameras are now bit of minefield with the introduction of HD television.
Not suprisingly all manufacturers claim that theirs is the best.

OR Networks have published a helpful guide to cut through the marketing hype and help potential customers gain an understanding of the technology to make objective and informed decisions.

First African Live Surgical Video Link from ORTV®



OR Networks, as part of their global corporate responsibility program, have installed one of their ORcast® video link systems for free into the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre operating theatres.

Working with the NUGITS team of laparoscopic surgeons and Northumbria Healthcare, the video link will support the ongoing laparoscopic training by providing surgeons with live video telementoring to their trainers based in the UK.

The video and two way audio is transmitted over secure internet lines and available as a web login, allowing UK surgeons to view the live transmissions from their home or office, or if they have an ORTV® integrated theatre, whilst they work themselves.
The BBC feature the link on BBC Look North. See the news reel.
