MIR-1

The MIR-1 records medical imaging from endoscopy, operating microscopes, or surgical field cameras in high-quality 4K/60p. It can be used to faciliate medical education, training, and research with video recordings of surgical procedures.

4K ultra high definition resolution at 60p
Robust internal high-speed 2TB SSD memory
H.264 and H.265 video compression
Intuitive operation thru touch screen and front bottons

Connectivity with a Wide Range of Devices

The MIR-1 is equipped with BNC (12G-SDI) and HDMI video input terminals that support up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution at 60 frames per second. With a single unit, you can connect to both existing Full HD equipment and the growing number of 4K devices.

Simultaneous Recording from Multiple Devices

The MIR-1 supports dual-channel input, allowing simultaneous recording of video from various devices in the operating room, such as endoscopic systems and patient monitors.
4K input signals are downconverted to Full HD when recording simultaneously.

High-Quality Recording of 4K Surgical Video

The MIR-1 can natively record video at 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels), as well as scale down to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution. It records at 60 frames per second for high-quality, smooth images. It can also capture and store still images in addition to video.

High-Speed, Robust Internal Memory

The MIR-1 is equipped with a high-speed SSD (solid state drive) that is highly robust and resistant to vibration and shock. With a large capacity of 2 terabytes, up to 175 hours of 4K video or 885 hours of Full HD video can be stored in its internal memory.
Recording time varies depending on recording conditions.

H.264 and H.265 Video Compression

The MIR-1 supports both widely adopted H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC), which delivers twice the compression efficiency without compromising image quality. Operators can select the optimal compression standard based on their playback or editing requirements for the recorded surgical video.

Intuitive Operation

Basic functions such as record start/stop and image capture are performed using physical buttons, while patient ID entry and system settings are accessed via a 5-inch touchscreen. The bright, analog resistive technology ensures clear visibility and reliable touch, even with surgical gloves.

Network-Based External Control

By utilizing an API (Application Programming Interface), external control of the MIR-1 is possible over a network, such as starting and stopping recording.

Link Patient Information to Recorded Data

The MIR-1 enables patient information such as name, ID, and surgical details to be added directly to recorded videos for streamlined management. Patient ID can also be registered quickly using a barcode reader.

As a paid optional feature, the MIR-1 supports DICOM® Modality Worklist (MWL) integration, allowing patient data from examination orders to be retrieved via the hospital network.

Network Transfer

The MIR-1 can record video data directly to a NAS (Network-Attached Storage) file server during operation, or transfer to the NAS after recording is complete. This eliminates the need to attach or remove USB HDDs/SSDs, streamlining the workflow and reducing the risk of data loss or security breaches.

Recording to External Media

Two USB 5Gbps ports on the front allow operators to record to external media, such as a USB HDD (hard disk drive) or portable USB SSD, alongside the MIR-1's internal storage. Recorded video data can also be transferred from internal storage to USB HDD/SSD devices as needed.

Easily Confirm Recording Status

A recording indicator on the front panel allows the operator to confirm at a glance that the surgical procedure is being recorded.

Clearly Display Recording Status on the Monitor

When used with EIZO’s CuratOR EX-series of surgical monitors, the MIR-1’s recording status can be displayed on the monitor, allowing the surgeon to check it without looking away from the monitor.

Easy Cleaning

The MIR-1's flat front design makes it easy to clean for a safe and hygenic environment.

Information Security

The MIR-1 supports user name/password authentication to prevent unauthorized use by third parties. Recorded data can be deleted from the internal memory to ensure that sensitive information remains protected when the device reaches the end of its useful life or is sent off-site for repair or maintenance.

Safely Store Data During Recording

An internal circuit ensures that recorded data is safely stored in internal storage, even if power to the unit is suddenly disrupted.

Rest Assured with Medical Standards

The MIR-1 complies with the international medical standard IEC 60601-1 and with medical device class 1 of the US FDA and European MDR to ensure safe operation in medical environments.

Foot Switch Control

A foot switch (optional, sold separately) can be used to perform basic operations such as start/stop recording and still image capture. This allows the operator easily control basic functions using their foot, even when distant from the recorder, and keep their hands free to focus on the operation.
Cable length 5 meters
