MediCap MVR Lite 4K
MediCapture's compact new 4K recorder is surprisingly affordable at
about $6,500, and offers about 90% of the functionality of recorders
that cost 5 or 10 times as much.
Its plug-and-play functionality lets you record from endoscopes,
arthroscopes, surgical cameras, ultrasound and other platforms in
standard definition, high-definition and 4K. You can record directly to
it, or plug in a flash drive and download your video. The company pro-
vides flash drives with your purchase, but any flash drive will work.
"It's really a great price," says Dr. Towfigh. "For smaller facilities
where cost containment is an issue, it would be a good fit. In 2002,
we paid $20,000 for a recorder. Now, I'm thinking if we wanted to add
another unit, we could just use this. It makes no sense to buy a more
expensive brand name when this will do just as well."
It doesn't have "push to PACS" capability, says a company rep, but
that's not usually an issue in outpatient settings, says Dr. Towfigh.
