Overview
Overview
This manual is the system integration guide for the operating room networked video transmission system (OR IP Solution
System).
It is intended for use by system engineers and service engineers. It describes the procedures for building, operating, and
maintaining systems.
System Overview
OR IP Solution System is a system for the integrated management of all video equipment installed in operating rooms.
IP converters in the OR IP Solution System enable the transfer of 4K or HD video and accompanying audio, from devices
with video outputs, over a high-speed optical fiber network with low latency. Video can be switched easily between
sources and destinations using a Network System Manager which controls each IP converter from a server PC connected
on the same network.
The following diagram shows an example system structure comprising two video output devices (sources) and two video
input devices (destinations).
In this manual, “OR” represents an “Operating Room” in the OR IP Solution System.

The system structure in the following pages is described in the step sequence above.

6Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Before constructing a system, determine the number of devices required based on the detailed system structure, including
the number of ORs in the system, the devices to connect in the system, and the operation mode.
Choosing Source and Destination Devices
Determine the number of source devices and destination devices for the system using the following procedure.
1 Determine the number of ORs in which to install the system.
2 Determine the number of source devices and destination devices for each OR.
3 Determine the number of source devices and destination devices mounted on trolleys for use in multiple ORs.
4 Determine the video interface and video format of each source device and destination device.
Refer to the operating instructions of the IP converter and check whether connection with the IP is supported.
The following diagram shows an example structure of source and destination devices.

Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Trolleys
The following two types of trolley configuration are supported, but operation using type 1 trolley configuration is
recommended.
Type 1: Trolley is equipped with an IP converter, which is connected to the system when moving between ORs.
Type 2: IP converters are installed in the ORs, and only the source/destination device is moved between ORs.
Operation with type 2 trolley configuration has the following limitation.
•The IP converter settings must continually be changed as the trolley device to connect changes.
•If optical connectors are mounted on a wall, use durable connectors.
•This manual describes the use of the type 1 trolley configuration.
Determining the Operation Mode
The system supports the following three operation modes. Select the mode according to the application.
•Safety priority
•Cost priority
•Uncompressed transmission priority
You can specify a different operation mode for use in each OR.
Network switches and trolley devices that are shared between ORs must be set to the same operation mode.

8Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Safety priority
This mode provides optical fiber cable redundancy by connecting each IP converter and network switches using two
optical fiber cables. The same video signal is transmitted on both optical fiber cables to ensure the video signal is not
interrupted if one of the cables is damaged or disconnected.

Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Cost priority
This mode of operation shares a network switch between two ORs.
In this mode, video signals are transmitted over a single optical fiber cable, without optical fiber cable redundancy. If the
cable is disconnected or damaged, the video is also interrupted. Instead, you can connect multiple IP converters to a single
network switch, and share the network switch between two ORs.

10 Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Uncompressed transmission priority
This mode supports transmission of uncompressed 4K video (4096×2160, 3840×2160).
Double the bandwidth of a single optical fiber cable is required to transmit uncompressed 4K video. Accordingly, two
optical fiber cables must be connected between each IP converter and the network switch.
If using a mix of 4K source devices and HD source devices, the IP converters connected to the HD source devices must
be connected using two cables to provide redundancy.
•In safety priority and cost priority operation modes, compressed 4K video can be transmitted.
•The connector information for DVI IP converters must be configured appropriately.
Operation mode comparison table
Customization of the operation mode
If you want to customize the operation mode, contact your Sony sales representative.
Customization examples:
•Connecting more than 16 devices per OR
•Sharing a network switch between three or more ORs
•Sharing a network switch between two ORs in safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority operation mode

Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Determining the Sync Mode
The system supports the following two sync modes. Select the mode according to the application.
•Network InputLock mode
•Network GenLock mode
You can specify a different sync mode for use in each OR.
Set trolley devices that are shared between ORs to the same sync mode as the OR.
Network InputLock mode
In Network InputLock mode, source IP converters become network sync leaders, and the destination IP converters become
followers.
The leader IP converter generates a network sync signal synchronized to the input video signal, and the followers operate
in sync with the network sync signal.
The video signal transmission delay time is shorter because the input video signal and network sync signal are
synchronized.
On the other hand, when switching the video signal transmitted to a destination IP converter, the switching time is longer
because the IP converter must be synchronized with a different leader.

12 Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Network GenLock mode
In Network GenLock mode, one of the source IP converters is designated as the network sync leader, and all other IP
converters become followers.
The leader IP converter generates a network sync signal internally, and the followers operate in sync with the network sync
signal.
When the video signal transmitted to a destination IP converter is switched, the switching time is shorter because the sync
leader does not change.
On the other hand, the video signal transmission delay time is longer because the input video signal and network sync
signal are not synchronized.
•In Network GenLock mode, if the IP converter designated as the sync leader is not connected, syncing of the video
signals fails and the system may become unstable. Ensure that the IP converter designated as the sync leader cannot be
turned off during operation. Accordingly, do not use an IP converter mounted on a trolley that is moved between ORs
as the sync leader.
•When sharing trolley devices between ORs, the IP address of the Network GenLock leader and the PTP domain number
of the Network GenLock group must be the same as for the OR.

Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Network GenLock mode (using dedicated leader)
The system can also operate using an IP converter as a dedicated sync leader. An IP converter used as dedicated sync leader
is not connected to either a source device or destination device, as shown in the following diagram.
A dedicated leader device must be connected as a source. For details, see “Setting the IP converter connection type
(source/destination)” (page 36).
Calculating the Number of Required Devices

System Operation
During operation, check that there are no errors on the Network System Manager screen to ensure the stable operation of
the IP converters and Network System Manager.
If there are any errors with the unit, restart the unit.
If the problem persists, follow the instructions for resolving the issue in “System Fault Troubleshooting” (page 61).
If the IP converters and Network System Manager operate continuously without being turned off occasionally, a
malfunction may eventually occur. In this case, turn the system off temporarily and restart the system.

16 Step 2: Installing a Network Switch
Determining the Network Structure
This system builds a network using VLAN to control communication between system components. A dedicated VLAN
ID is assigned to a network switch, according to the operation mode.
Safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority operation mode switch settings
example
When the operation mode is set for safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority, two cables (main and sub, each
assigned with a VLAN ID) are connected between each device and the network switch.
The assigned VLAN ID, VLAN name, network address, and network switch IP address are given below.
Cost priority operation mode switch settings example
When the operation mode is set for cost priority, a network switch is shared between two ORs, and each OR is set a unique
VLAN ID.
In addition, separate MGMT-VLANs must be created and connected with Network System Manager. Connect one of the
10GBASE-T ports used for the MGMT-VLAN to the MGMT port using a network cable (Category 5e or higher).
The assigned VLAN ID, VLAN name, network address, and network switch IP address are given below.
The VLAN settings can be configured for a network switch by loading a switch setup file into the network switch (see
page 20).

Step 2: Installing a Network Switch
IP addresses
Set the IP addresses according to the following table. In safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority operation
mode, assign unique main and sub IP addresses.
The network addresses are as follows.
Main: 192.168.10.0/24
Sub: 192.168.11.0/24
Set the host addresses as described in the following table.
•In cost priority mode, the same network switch IP address must be configured for two VLANs (OR1 and OR2). The
network switch IP address is set to the following values by loading a switch setup file.
OR1: 192.168.10.254
OR2: 192.168.10.253
•After the overall system structure has been determined, it is recommended that you prepare a list of the IP address
assignments for each device as an aid when installing devices.
•If connecting to a network other than an OR, takes precautions to provide network security.
•Do not connect to the Internet. To connect to the Internet, contact your Sony sales representative.
Host address Description
1 to 9 IP addresses for OR controllers and NSM API clients. These addresses are user configurable.
10 Reserved for future functions.
11 IP address for the NSM server.
12 to 20 Reserved for future functions.
21 to 70 IP addresses for IP converters on trolleys (up to 50 addresses).
As a trolley is moved from one OR to the next, the IP converter must be assigned a different IP
address for connection with each OR.
71 to 120 IP addresses for fixed IP converters (up to 50 addresses).
As a fixed IP converter does not move from one OR to the next, the IP converter may be assigned
the same IP address as an IP converter in another OR.
121 to 220 IP addresses for DHCP assignment when initializing IP converters (up to 100 addresses).
221 IP address for connection of a PC or other device by a system administrator for performing system
analysis.
