Eizo CuratOR MIR-1 4K/60p Recorder for Medical Images (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.

Features

• Robust internal high-speed 2TB SSD storage
• H.264 and H.265 Video Compression
• Intuitive operation via touchscreen

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.

Eizo EX5841 Protective Glass

The Eizo CuratOR EX5841 monitor is covered with protective glass which helps guard the LCD screen from shock, scrachtes and dirt. The glass has a hardness of more than 9H, making it difficult to scratch, even if it accidentally bumps into walls when being moved. This fully protects the front against foreign material and splashes with a protection rating of IP45; the entire device has IP32 protection.

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.
Check the specification for the compatible SMB (Server Message Block) versions of NAS.

Recording to External Media

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

Easily Confirm Recording Status

In dual-source mode, two separate signal sources can be viewed simultaneously on one monitor screen side-by-side using the PaP (Picture-and-Picture) function. With the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) function a second signal can be displayed above the main signal. The size and position of the display window is adjustable when using PiP. In triple source mode, three signal sources can be displayed on the monitor screen, representing a third signal above two signals displayed side-by-side. This is useful when several images need to be viewed at once such as multiple modalities.

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.

Customer Assurance 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
