- US-based medical imaging and informatics systems company NDS Surgical Imaging (NDSsi) has introduced multi-node, bi-directional HD video/audio streaming device called ExpandOR, the company said on Tuesday.
ExpandOR allows secure streaming to multiple destinations simultaneously, and helps increase clinical staff efficiency via enhanced hospital-wide communication with the operating room, as well as external targeted locations such as educational facilities, NDS said.
NDS added that the secure multi-node functionality of ExpandOR allows the user to choose specific IP addresses, thereby streaming content to approved audiences only.
The overall structure, which consists of the compressor, the uniform quantizer, and the expandor, in cascade, is called compandor (Fig.1).
