Video Integration System for the Operating Room: Integration, Routing, Recording, and Medical Streaming
A video integration system for the operating room enables the centralization, management, and distribution of all medical video feeds within a modern operating room.
It connects imaging equipment (cameras, endoscopes, microscopes, monitors) to ensure smooth, secure, and user-friendly information management during surgical procedures.
Surgiris video management solutions enhance collaboration, ensure traceability of procedures, and improve the efficiency of medical teams in the operating room.
Centralize and control all your video feeds in the operating room
In a modern operating room, managing surgical video feeds has become a strategic priority for ensuring quality of care, patient safety, and the efficiency of medical teams. Without a centralizedvideo integration system, managing and distributing these feeds can quickly become complex, with an increased risk of errors and information loss. Discover our video management andvideo integration solutions for operating rooms, designed to centralize, secure, and optimize all of your medical video feeds.
Each intervention may involve several measures:
- endoscope;
- surgical microscope;
- ceiling camera;
- surgical camera;
- patient monitor;
- mobile imaging system;
- medical computer;
- PACS solution;
- wall-mounted screen;
- videoconferencing system;
- check-in counter.
A video integration system for the operating room allows these sources to be consolidated into a single interface. This enables teams to select, display, route, record, or stream video feeds as needed for the procedure.
This centralization reduces technical procedures, minimizes the need for manual connections, and improves the flow of work in the operating room.
Surgiris solutions help create a simpler, more user-friendly, and more secure environment for surgeons, OR nurses, biomedical technicians, and technical staff.
The video system at the heart of the operating room
The digital operating room relies on the interconnection of medical equipment, imaging sources, monitors, hospital information systems, and traceability tools.
The video system is one of its key components.
It allows medical devices to be connected and images to be transmitted between the various viewing stations in the operating room:
- main screen;
- secondary screen;
- wall-mounted station;
- control room;
- amphitheater;
- meeting room;
- another operating room;
- secure remote site.
Thanks to video integration, teams can control the operating room's visual environment from a simple and intuitive touchscreen interface.
The medical video system thus becomes a valuable tool for coordination, documentation, and collaboration.
It helps transform the operating room into a connected environment capable of supporting modern surgery, training, tele-expertise, and post-procedure analysis.
Multimedia stations for operating rooms
We offer a complete line of video management stations, suitable for all types of operating rooms. Our video management stations centralize, display, record, and share medical video and audio feeds in the operating room. Available with 32-inch or 55-inch screens, they can operate independently or in combination, with a plug-and-play configuration and resolutions up to 4K. The All-In-One models offer centralized control, streaming, and routing of all feeds, while the 32-inch Smart station provides a compact option for limited spaces. The 55-inch PSC station enables display and recording in a single room, and the 55-inch DICOM station is dedicated to viewing and reviewing PACS exams with interactive annotations and zoom capabilities.
Our operating room control software
All of our facilities use the ICN software suite—a flexible and comprehensive solution—to centralize video feed management, track procedures, and facilitate remote collaboration. It enables real-time streaming and recording of video feeds, manages communication between operating rooms, secures patient data through controlled access and identity verification, and allows users to view or share video feeds and reports from outside the operating room.
The ICN software suite enhances operating room organization, safety, and workflow efficiency, while providing dedicated tools for training, tele-expertise, and post-procedure analysis.

Why choose a video integration system for your operating room?
A modern video management system transforms the way the operating room functions. It centralizes all video and audio sources, simplifies the work of the teams, and improves the safety of surgical procedures. Every operating room is unique, and its needs evolve over time. Our modular video stations adapt to different levels of integration: mobile, semi-integrated, or fully integrated. They can be customized based on the number of video inputs, camera types, recording options, and network compatibility. This modularity allows facilities to gradually modernize their infrastructure, add new features without disrupting existing operating rooms, and have a sustainable, scalable solution ready to adapt to future innovations.
An integrated video system allows you to:
- centralize all video sources;
- reduce technical steps;
- streamline the flow of images;
- improve the ergonomics of the unit;
- improve traceability;
- to make registration easier;
- broadcast the presentations live;
- support training;
- prepare for the transition to the digital operating room.
Since every operating room is different, Surgiris solutions can be customized based on the number of video sources, recording needs, available screens, surgical procedures, and the facility’s network infrastructure.
Ergonomics and working comfort
Thanks tovideo integration, all image and information sources are centralized on a single, and intuitive interface. Surgical teams can quickly access the necessary feeds, switch between sources without interrupting the procedure, and view multiple images simultaneously on one or more screens. This centralization reduces the need to manage multiple cables or devices, lowers stress and the risk of errors, and allows surgeons to focus fully on the surgical procedure.
By optimizing the layout and accessibility of information, the workspace becomes a more streamlined, modern, and secure environment.
Enhanced traceability and security
Video integration ensures full traceability of every procedure. Video streams can be automatically recorded, time-stamped, and linked to the patient record using medical standards (DICOM, PACS).
This feature is essential for regulatory compliance, post-operative follow-up, and staff training. It also allows for the review of procedures, the analysis of techniques, and the identification of areas for improvement.
Teams thus benefit from accurate, reliable, and secure documentation, while minimizing manual handling and the risk of data loss.
Enhanced collaboration and training
Video management systems allow you to stream live feeds to other rooms, lecture halls, or telemedicine platforms.
This allows surgeons to share their procedures with remote colleagues, train new teams, and seek external advice in real time. This ability to collaborate and communicate instantly strengthens team coordination, improves decision-making, and promotes continuous learning.
The operating room is becoming a truly connected hub, where training and collaboration are integrated into the daily workflow.
Use Cases for the Video System in the Operating Room
Gastrointestinal Surgery
In gastrointestinal surgery, the video system allows surgeons to simultaneously view endoscopic images, the operating room camera feed, and patient information relevant to the procedure. It also facilitates the recording of educational footage and post-procedure analysis.
Orthopedic Surgery
In orthopedics, teams can display surgical images and imaging studies on different screens. Centralized video feeds facilitate coordination between the surgeon, the OR team, and the imaging systems.
Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery often involves several complex sources: microscopes, imaging, navigation systems, cameras, and patient data. A centralized video system allows these data streams to be managed more smoothly and accurately.
Hybrid Operating Room
In a hybrid operating room, image management is particularly critical. Video systems connect interventional imaging equipment, surgical light sources, and display screens. They help create an integrated environment suited to complex procedures.
Surgical Training
Procedures can be streamed live or recorded for use in an educational setting. This allows residents, surgeons, and medical teams to access more practical and immersive training content.
Telemedicine
Video streaming makes it possible to seek an outside opinion during or after a procedure. This feature facilitates collaboration between institutions and helps strengthen medical decision-making.
