TEAC: UR-4MD Captures, Stores and Transfers Medical Imaging

TEAC Corporation announced a new high-definition medical imaging recorder to be released in October 2014.

The UR-4MD is an new high definition medical imaging recorder specially designed as a ‘Doctor Friendly’ device based on a quick set-up and easy to use concept, yet includes a robust list of features and capabilities.

With auto sensing video connections and automatic video resolution detection, set-up is quick and easy, as it automatically configures itself to be ready for recording. Also, the front control panel allows users to intuitively record and play-back videos and photos in crystal clear HD, with little to no training required. UR4MD’s GUI supports nine languages such as English, French, German, Italy, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

In addition, a built-in HDD is included for high capacity recording (up to 100 hours of HD quality videos) and redundant backup for fail-safe recording and DR capability. Users can simultaneously record to multiple media (a built-in HDD, two USB devices and a Network server), share and playback instantly on other devices and locations. This adds convenience and improves workflow.

UR-4MD is network capable and can transfer the captured videos and images to servers within the hospital network. In case of power interruption during recording, UR-4MD shuts itself down without loss of data, and S.M.A.R.T. monitors and reports the built in HDD’s condition.

Keith Yoshida, senior executive officer of TEAC, said: “TEAC is proud to bring this new Medical Imaging Recorder UR-4MD. This sophisticated, state-of-the-art medical imaging recorder is designed with TEAC’s core technologies for video recording and vast experience of medical video recorders. Our technologies will allow UR-4MD to provide reliable recording to video systems at medical sites and this small footprint recorder will bring real ease-of-use solutions to doctors with little to no training required.“
