SONY HVO-550MD HD 720p Medical Video Recorder, DVD/USB/NAS

Recording crisply-detailed HD video at up to 720p, the HVO-550MD offers an improvement in image quality over Standard Definition recording devices such as the DVO-1000MD.

To minimise the risks of accidental data loss, video files can be recorded onto the internal hard disk drive simultaneously with a DVD, 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.

Video files can be burned permanently onto the recorder’s internal optical disc drive (DVD-R) for convenient storage and longer-term archive.

The HVO-550MD shares the same command set as the Sony DVO-1000MD DVD recorder. This simplifies migration from the DVO-1000MD to benefit from HD recording as well as HDD-based workflows.

The HVO-550MD 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 centralised server.

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.

The recorder is compliant with and certified for IEC 60601-1 and product safety standards in the U.S.A., Canada and Europe. Registration status as a medical device may vary, depending on country.
