4k-laparoscopySteven F. Palter, MD proudly demonstrated their use of RED Camera’s to report and broadcast a laporascopic procedure in 4K.

I am so excited to report that I have performed the world’s first laparoscopy in 4K – using cameras with a resolution 4 times that of HD. I presented the details and shared the images with a crowd of 3500 at the 65th Annual Meeting of the ASRM this week in Atlanta in my invited plenary lecture. We showed the audience how the digital technology being developed to transform movies could be directly applied to take surgical performance to tthe next level.

They worked with a company called Offhollywood to combine the RED One cameras, Sony 4K projectors, and RealD 3D Lenses for the final solution.
