Overview
The CuratOR MIR-1 captures medical video and still images from endoscopes, operating microscopes and surgical field cameras in native 4K/60p. Intended for clinical documentation, education, training and research, it combines high-resolution recording with OR-oriented workflow and integration options.

Key features

• Native 4K UHD recording (3840 x 2160) at up to 60 fps; scalable to Full HD (1920 x 1080).
• Robust internal high-speed 2 TB SSD tolerant to vibration and shock; approx. 175 hours (4K) or 885 hours (Full HD), depending on settings.
• H.265 (HEVC) and H.264 (AVC) compression for optimized storage and post-processing workflows.
• MP4 and TS file output; still image capture in JPEG and TIFF formats.
• Dual-channel inputs for simultaneous sources (e.g., 12G‑SDI + HDMI); simultaneous recording may downconvert 4K inputs to Full HD when required.
• Physical front-panel buttons for basic control and a 5-inch resistive touchscreen for patient ID and advanced settings (usable with surgical gloves).

Firmware and recent functions
Current firmware: Version 3.0.2 (released March 19, 2026).

• Simultaneous recording from 12G‑SDI and HDMI terminals.
• Network-based control API for remote start/stop and system integration.
• Optional DICOM Modality Worklist (MWL) support for patient order retrieval.
• Simultaneous recording to external USB HDD/SSD and to NAS.

Connectivity and integration
The MIR-1 provides BNC (12G‑SDI) and HDMI inputs supporting up to 4K/60p, enabling connection to both legacy Full HD devices and modern 4K modalities. Dual LAN ports support direct recording to NAS; SMB 3.1.1 is recommended for best compatibility.

Operation and workflow

• Start/stop recording and still capture via front-panel buttons; patient ID entry and advanced functions via the 5" touchscreen.
• Front-panel recording indicator for immediate visual status.
• Optional foot switch (sold separately) for hands-free start/stop and image capture; 5 m cable.
• Patient information (name, ID, procedure) can be associated with files; barcode reader supported for fast ID entry.

Storage and media

• Internal: 2 TB high-speed SSD, vibration- and shock-resistant.
• External: Front USB 5 Gbps Type‑A x2 for recording to USB HDD/SSD; rear USB 2.0 Type‑A x4 for peripherals.
• Files can be transferred from internal storage to external USB devices or directly recorded/transferred to NAS.

Security, safety and standards

• User authentication (username/password) to prevent unauthorized access.
• Internal protection circuitry to safeguard recorded data in case of sudden power loss.
• Compliant with medical and regional standards: IEC 60601‑1, CE/UKCA (Medical Device), FDA Class I, cTÜVus and additional certifications.

Additional operational notes
The flat front design simplifies cleaning and infection-control procedures in the OR. Network API enables integration with hospital systems and workflow automation for centralized control and retrieval.
