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.

Description
IP converter
Device which converts between video signals and IP signals. The following two
types of IP converter are supported for the video interface (SDI or DVI).
SDI: NU-IP40S
DVI: NU-IP40D
For details about the IP converter, refer to the operating instructions for the IP
converter.
Network System Manager (NSM) server
Server PC on which Network System Manager is installed.
You can configure OR IP Solution System devices and control the system by
accessing the administrator user interface of Network System Manager.
One NSM server is required for each OR.
