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.
OR controller (NSM API client) Network System Manager provides an API that enables control from an external controller. For details about the API of Network System Manager, contact your Sony sales representative. Source (SRC) Device equipped with a video signal output.

In step 1, determine the number of devices required. Next, build the system using steps 2 to 9. The system structure in the following pages is described in the step sequence above. Overview...
Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure Before constructing a system, determine the number of devices required based on the detailed system structure, including the number of ORs in the system, the devices to connect in the system, and the operation mode. Choosing Source and Destination Devices Determine the number of source devices and destination devices for the system using the following procedure.
Trolleys The following two types of trolley configuration are supported, but operation using type 1 trolley configuration is recommended. Type 1: Trolley is equipped with an IP converter, which is connected to the system when moving between ORs. Type 2: IP converters are installed in the ORs, and only the source/destination device is moved between ORs. Trolley (type 1) Trolley (type 2) Destination...

Safety priority This mode provides optical fiber cable redundancy by connecting each IP converter and network switches using two optical fiber cables. The same video signal is transmitted on both optical fiber cables to ensure the video signal is not interrupted if one of the cables is damaged or disconnected.
Page 9
Cost priority This mode of operation shares a network switch between two ORs. In this mode, video signals are transmitted over a single optical fiber cable, without optical fiber cable redundancy. If the cable is disconnected or damaged, the video is also interrupted. Instead, you can connect multiple IP converters to a single network switch, and share the network switch between two ORs.

Determining the Sync Mode The system supports the following two sync modes. Select the mode according to the application. • Network InputLock mode • Network GenLock mode You can specify a different sync mode for use in each OR. Note Set trolley devices that are shared between ORs to the same sync mode as the OR.
Page 12
Network GenLock mode In Network GenLock mode, one of the source IP converters is designated as the network sync leader, and all other IP converters become followers. The leader IP converter generates a network sync signal internally, and the followers operate in sync with the network sync signal.
Network GenLock mode (using dedicated leader) The system can also operate using an IP converter as a dedicated sync leader. An IP converter used as dedicated sync leader is not connected to either a source device or destination device, as shown in the following diagram. Trolley Trolley Source...
System Operation During operation, check that there are no errors on the Network System Manager screen to ensure the stable operation of the IP converters and Network System Manager. If there are any errors with the unit, restart the unit. If the problem persists, follow the instructions for resolving the issue in “System Fault Troubleshooting”...
Connect the power cord, and start the network switch. Step 2: Installing a AC power connector Network Switch For details about installation, refer to the operating Preparing a Network Switch instructions for the network switch and options. The following network options are available for the network switch supported by the system.
Determining the Network Structure This system builds a network using VLAN to control communication between system components. A dedicated VLAN ID is assigned to a network switch, according to the operation mode. Safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority operation mode switch settings example When the operation mode is set for safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority, two cables (main and sub, each assigned with a VLAN ID) are connected between each device and the network switch.
