WARNING
Using this unit for medical purposes
The connectors on this unit are not isolated.
Do not connect any device other than one which
conforms to IEC 60601-1 standards.
When an information technology device or AV device
that uses an alternating current is connected, current
leakage may result in an electric shock to the patient or
operator.
If use of such a device is unavoidable, isolate its power
supply by connecting an isolation transformer, or by
connecting an isolator between the connecting cables.
After implementing these measures, confirm that the
reduced risk now conforms to IEC 60601-1 standards.

1) Only 3D-Dual Stream is supported.
2) 2-sample interleave division
3) Square division
4) SQ will be converted to 2-SI on the sender side.
Notes
If the video formats on the sender side and receiver
side are not properly configured, video cannot be
transmitted.
During 3G-SDI mapping Level B input, signals will be
converted to Level A for output. During Level B-DS
input, signals will be output unchanged as Level B-DS.
Switch number [7] of DIP switch 1 is disabled on units
operating in receiver mode. The 4K video (4096×2160,
3840×2160) output will be fixed at 2-SI on such units.
Downconvert Output Settings
Specify whether to output the video input on the receiver
side in its original format, or whether to downconvert its
resolution for output. By configuring the downconvert
output setting, you can convert the resolution of 4K
video outputs from modality devices and output them
on HD monitors. This allows you to add HD monitors to
a 4K video transmission system.
1) The resolution is converted as follows.
3840×2160: Outputs with the height and width reduced to
1/2.
4096×2160: Deletes 128 dots from the left and right
(3840×2160), and outputs with the height and width reduced
to 1/2.
Network Settings
Video transmission groups
Configure groups for the senders that will transmit
images and the receivers. A single sender can be grouped
with multiple receivers. When groups are configured on
a unit operating in sender mode, IP addresses are
automatically assigned to the unit’s MAIN and SUB
network connectors.
Receiver IP address
Assign IP addresses to the receiver’s MAIN and SUB
network connectors. You can assign addresses regardless
of video transmission groups. Be sure to assign addresses
that are unique from other devices on the network. You
can configure IP addresses via the ON/OFF settings of
switch numbers [5] to [8] of DIP switch 2. For details, see
“DIP Switch Settings” (page 30).

Compression Mode Settings
Configure the compression mode (compressed or
uncompressed) used when transmitting 4K video
(4096×2160, 3840×2160) from the sender. The
uncompressed mode will always be used for video that is
HD (1920×1080).
Notes
To enable network redundancy for 4K video, set the
compression mode to compressed mode.
When using compressed mode, be sure to check the
picture quality before surgery begins. If a problem
exists, switch the compression mode to uncompressed
mode, or discontinue use of the unit.
When transmitting 4K video in uncompressed mode,
be sure to connect two network cables.
Network Redundancy Settings
Configure network redundancy. When this is
configured, transmission can continue even if one of the
network cable connections is severed. When this
function is enabled, be sure to connect two network
cables.
Notes
When transmitting 4K video with the compression
mode set to uncompressed mode, network
redundancy will be disabled.
When operating with a single network cable, be sure to
connect it to the MAIN network connector.
3D Video Settings
Configure the conversion mode used for 3D video input.
1) Video will not be displayed properly if the line-by-line format
is transmitted in a compressed state.
Note
During 3G Quad SQ input, conversion from line-by-line
to top-and-bottom cannot be performed and video will
not be displayed properly in compressed mode.
Attaching the DIP Switch Cover
Replace the DIP switch cover, and secure it with the
screw.
Caution
After configuring the settings, be sure to attach the DIP
switch cover and secure it with the screw. The unit
should always be operated with the DIP switch cover
