TEAC Corporation announced a new high-definition medical imaging recorder to be released in October 2014. Medical Imaging Recorder UR-4MD is designed to capture, store, and share videos and still images virtually from any medical diagnostic apparatus, such as laparoscopies, endoscopes, arthroscopies, C-Arms, angiographies and surgical cameras. It is designed for quick set up and intuitive operation with advanced fail-safe features that support doctors and nurses in the mission critical OR environment.

The UR-4MD is TEAC's new high definition medical imaging recorder specially designed as a Doctor Friendly device based on a quick set-up and easy to use concept, yet includes a robust list of features and capabilities. With auto sensing video connections and automatic video resolution detection, set-up is quick and easy, as it automatically configures itself to be ready for recording. Also, the front control panel allows users to intuitively record and play-back videos and photos in crystal clear HD, with little to no training required.

UR4MD's GUI supports 9 languages such as English, French, German, Italy, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. In addition, a built-in hard drive is included for high capacity recording (up to 100 hours of HD quality videos) and redundant data back-up for fail-safe recording and disaster recovery capability. Users can simultaneously record to multiple media (a built-in hard drive, two USB devices and a Network server), share and playback instantly on other devices and locations.

This adds convenience and improves workflow. UR-4MD is network capable and can transfer the captured videos and images to servers within the hospital network. In case of power interruption during recording, UR-4MD safely shuts itself down without loss of data, and S.M.A.R.T. monitors and reports the built in hard drive's condition.
