SONY IP Converter/Transmitter for NUCLeUSTM NU-IP3R

The NU-IP3R can read any video stream from the NU-IP3T, IP converter transmitter, or IP camera over CAT5e or higher copper cable, or fiber network cable. Copper cable can be used with existing network infrastructures under a relatively low network load outside the OR. Fiber can be used if necessary to reduce electromagnetic interference, e.g., from electronic scalpels.

The NU-IP3R can receive additional HD proxy streams (max 4 streams in total) on top of the 4K native stream^*5 and can display these in different layouts. A set of preconfigured layouts include quad-view^*6, PIP, and PAP, and these can be configured symmetrically or asymmetrically. Typically used for boom-mounted surgical monitors, the receiver can be ‘invisibly’ mounted between the boom and the display or as a larger (in-wall) overview screen.

The NU-IP3T provides valuable visual feedback for clinical teams in the operating room. A status LED confirms power and correct system operation, while blinking patterns indicate loss of network connection or absence of an IP address.

Data and command interfaces to the NU-IP3R are encrypted using SSL. Bandwidth optimized streams are always secured with AES128 encryption used with a GCM rolling key scheme. This prevents third-party eavesdropping, spoofing, and other tampering to ensure the integrity of data between the transmitter, receiver, and server.

If IP transmission is interrupted, the receiver’s safety mechanism can automatically switch the display input to a primary video signal cable via RS-232.
