Connectivity with a Wide Range of Modalities

The BNC (12G-SDI) and HDMI video input connectors support up to 4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution for highly detailed video from endoscopes, operating microscopes, and surgical field cameras.

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 the H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) compression standards. H.264 offers a wide range of compatibility with devices and browsers, and H.265 is a newer standard that offers higher compression rates without sacrificing image quality. Operators can select the compression standard based on the playback or streaming needs of the recorded surgical video.

Intuitive Operation

The 5-inch front panel uses analog resistive touch technology to allow operation even when wearing gloves. Buttons for basic operations, such as record start/stop and still image capture are intuitive and responsive. The front panel displays at high brightness for clear visibility within the operating room.

Register Patient Information

Details for each recorded surgical procedure, such as patient name and ID, can be registered to the MIR-1 for organized management of video files. The MIR-1 can also register patient ID information from barcode readers.

Easily Confirm Recording Status

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

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.

Simultaneous Recording to External Media

Two USB 5Gbps ports on the front allow operators to record to external media, such as a USB HDD (hard disk drive) or portable USB SSD, in addition to the internal storage. The MIR-1 also allows data transfer from internal storage to external media. This is useful for reviewing the video in conference rooms or editing for educational use or other purposes.

Easy Cleaning

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.

Information Security

The MIR-1 allows recorded data to be deleted from the internal memory. This ensures sensitive information stays protected if the unit is disposed of.

Rear Connector

Complete Visual Solution

The CuratOR MIR-1, in combination with other CuratOR products, enables high-quality and reliable capture, visualization and recording of surgical procedures.

Capture: The SC430-PTR surgical field camera captures the surgical field in 4K UHD resolution and is fully equipped with a three-axis camera mount for versatile positioning.
Display: A connected EIZO EX Series monitor can display the MIR-1’s recording status, allowing the surgeon to review it without looking away from the monitor.
Record: The MIR-1 records medical images from endoscopes, surgical microscopes or surgical cameras in high quality 4K/60p.
