JVCKENWOOD Exhibits at HOSPEX Japan 2019
OR imaging system solutions for achieving efficient operation,
improving safety, and maintaining hygiene in operating rooms

JVCKENWOOD Corporation (JVCKENWOOD) will exhibit at HOSPEX Japan 2019, a comprehensive
exhibition covering the medical and welfare fields, to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight from Wednesday,
November 20 to Friday, November 22.
This year, the JVCKENWOOD booth will exhibit ORVS(Operating Room Visualization Solutions) for theunified management of imaging information (biological information, x-ray information, operationfield/operating site images, endoscope images, and robotic operation images, etc.), used frequently
in operating rooms and designed for achieving efficient surgery operations, improving safety, andmaintaining hygiene in operating rooms.

Through the connection to various advanced medical

equipment and in-house information systems, etc., our visualization solutions can facilitate a smooth
operation workflow and creation of safe and hygienic operating environment.
In addition, we will prepare a reference exhibit of a compact and high-mobility cart-type
operation-related video recording system and a system capable of managing video signals from up toeight systems over the optical IP network.

1. Operating Room Visualization Solutions
We will exhibit visualization solutions that provide customization with the assumption of use inoperating room, according to users’ needs. Our solutions can be linked to information stored in
an in-hospital information system, including information on patients, operators, and operative
procedures; support switching to video output to monitors in operating rooms according tooperative procedures; and, deliver recordings of videos and still images, as well as live streamingof videos. Our solutions also offer consultation functions in which operative field images andbiological information, etc. are shared with medical offices and conference rooms, or are utilized
for training of medical practitioners, as well as simple editing functions after operations, in which
recorded images and information are utilized for preparing reports and making presentations atacademic conferences. In addition, our solutions support customization of GUI according to theoperation management of hospitals and connection to various in-hospital information systems(PACS, anesthesia system, HIS, etc.). JVCKENWOOD’s broad lineup of various operating roommonitor displays adopt flat and wall-mounted designs for uncluttered and simple operating rooms,
ease of preparation before operations and cleanup after operations, and securing working traffic
lined during operations. Our solutions support efficient operation and improvements to theenvironments of operating rooms from before until after operations.
1) Software solution for unified management of visualization information
inside and outside operating rooms
Our software solution enables smart and unified management of routing,encoding, archiving, and streaming of various visualization information neededfor operations. Our software solution supports switching of images in operatingrooms and enables the sharing of intraoperative images and the use of archived
images at conference rooms, medical offices, lecture rooms, etc. Furthermore, our software
solution can be connected to systems specific to hospitals and provides flexible customizationaccording to users’ needs.
2) A lineup of wall-integrated monitor systems for operation and display that can beembedded flat into the walls of operating rooms
We will exhibit wall-integrated monitor systems for operation anddisplay that can be embedded flat into the walls of operatingrooms. Our monitor systems adopt a glass panel for the front
surface for dust resistance and ease of cleaning. Our monitor
systems come in a wide variety of lineups covering screen sizes
from 21.5 inches to 75 inches, and we have a broad range ofmounting brackets available to suit various wall materials of operating rooms.

3) Surgical monitor systems for ceiling arms designedwith attention to maintaining a clean environment
We will exhibit a ceiling-mounted surgical monitor with aglass-coated panel on the front surface and that pay
attention to maintaining a clean environment by adopting
drip-proof (IP54-compliant) specs and ventless and fanless2

designs. With a lineup of models with screen sizes ranging from 21.5 inches to 32 inches, oursurgical monitor systems support various GIUs, such as DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, VGA, andSDI.

4) Information display monitor systems that simultaneously display information on theoperating room environment
We will exhibit information display monitor systems thatcan simultaneously display current time, stopwatch, andinformation on the operating room environment, such astemperature and humidity, as well as “ON AIR” sign indicating that live streaming videos areon air. Types of information displayed can be customized according to the combination ofinformation to be displayed.

5) The VANCS series network camera system ideal for operating sitecamera
The VANCS series network camera systems can deliver the visualization
process from shooting to recording and storing of visualized images in
H.264 and Full HD resolution. We will exhibit a broad lineup of network
camera systems that meet the needs for operating site cameras, including
a model that comes with a high-speed rotating platform and a high-precision 10x zoom PTZ
function, and a model that is equipped with extensive security function, such as present
position registration, auto pan, and anomaly detection.
6) Bluetooth® foot switch that allows operators to recording videos and still images
allowing operators to capture images without missing any key moments
2. ORVS (Operating Room Visualization Solution) cart system
Our solution is a compact and high-mobility cart-type archiving system for operation-related
imaging information that support various video signals.

The system can display image

previews and operate video recording on a 21.5-inch display monitor. In addition, the system
accommodates the addition of the video routing and streaming functions, as well as extension
to connect with other systems.
3. Optical IP network system (reference exhibit)
We will prepare a reference exhibit of an optical IP network system that supports sophisticatedvisualization information in operating rooms. The solution is designed to manage video signals
from up to eight units of various pieces of medical equipment (endoscope, microscope, artificial
heart-lung apparatus, biomonitor, etc.) and imaging display systems brought into operatingrooms over the optical IP network. Through the connection to the optical IP network, oursolution supports distribution and long-distance transmission of 4K/8K high resolution images,
as well as operation-related instruments that are advancing technologically at an acceleratedpace.
