he UP-51MD/51MDP is an A5
color video printer using dye
sublimation technology. It is
the perfect printing solution for many
medical applications, for example in
high-end Endoscopy and Ultrasound
systems, and is also ideal for a wide
range of scientific, industrial, and
engineering uses that require high-
performance printing systems.
The UP-51MD/51MDP combines
excellent image quality with fast
printing. In addition, it is designed for
heavy-duty use, offering superb
reliability and durability.
With all these features in its compact
body, the UP-51MD/51MDP is ideal for
the creation of high-quality hard copy
images from video.

Incorporating Sony dye sublimation printing technology, the UP-
51MD/51MDP provides photo-realistic quality prints with more than 16
million color tones. The innovative PQC (Picture Quality Control)
feature provides highly accurate image reproduction.
A new color adjustment function allows you to easily select the color
that most closely matches your requirements. Three alternative gamma
curves are also available, so that the one that provides the most suitable
tonal range for your application can be selected.

Two types of printing packs are available for use with the UP-
51MD/51MDP. The UPC-510 Color Printing Pack contains an ink
ribbon and paper for 200 prints. The alternative UPC-540/540MD Self-
laminating Color Printing Pack produces 102 prints that are laminated
for increased durability, making them ideal for archiving applications.
Prints from the UPC-510 and UPC-540/540MD are cut sheets. They are
not curled so that you can handle them very easily.
When printing on the UPC-510, the UP-51MD/51MDP outputs an A5-
size print from an NTSC (PAL) video frame in approx. 20 (22) seconds*.
The UPC-540/540MD is available for the greater durability of a
laminated finish. This enables you to choose the type of paper best
suited to your application. The rapid print operation is the result of the
introduction of a newly developed high-speed IC, combined with a
powerful loading motor and highly-sensitive print media.

The UP-51MD/51MDP features eight built-in memories so that up to
eight frame-quality color images can be stored in memories
simultaneously. While printing an image from one of the memories, the
UP-51MD/51MDP can simultaneously store additional images in the
remaining memories. Furthermore, multiple images can be saved in the
frame memories and can be printed out as a single print.
The adoption of a new printing mechanism for the UP-51MD/51MDP
has resulted in a compact design with dimensions of approx. 370(W) x
125(H) x 475(D) mm (14
