  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Ultra High Resolution Video Used in Surgery

I don't understand why this is so great for doing the surgery. The doctor was watching the 720p coming out of the camera during the surgery, not 4k. I think that's great to be able to see such high resolution after the fact, for students etc. but that's about all it is good for.

It was just showing how much better you can see during surgery in 4k, basically proof of concept. Obviously, viewing it real time 3D in the OR will take some time and money but that's besides the point they were trying to make.

Then what is the 4K Projector there for?
 
I'm not talking about the 3d part of it, which does make it super cool for viewing after the fact. I'm saying he wasn't doing the surgery while watching it 4K, he was watching it in 720p. So he could have been using any other HD camera and gotten similar quality during surgery. I'm not sure how the larger sensor effects DoF on those special endoscopes in that situation but it might make the surgery more difficult if there is less DoF and the doctor can't see what he's doing...
