For Sale OLYMPUS IMH-20 Image Management Hub

Olympus IMH-20 High-Definition Medical Video Recorder
The Olympus IMH-20 is an enterprise-grade medical imaging server engineered for the 2026 standards of surgical documentation and clinical archiving. Acting as the high-capacity recording hub for advanced endoscopy and laparoscopy towers—including the EVIS EXERA II, EXERA III, and VISERA ELITE series—the IMH-20 delivers seamless capture of true Full HD (1080p/1080i) video and high-resolution still images.
Equipped with a 500 GB internal hard drive and an integrated Blu-ray/DVD burner, this medical-grade recorder bridges the gap between the surgical field and the facility's centralized imaging network, providing stable, redundant, and secure data logging.
Key Performance Features


Full HD Digital Capture: Records crystal-clear 1080p or 1080i digital video, preserving microscopic anatomical details, suture placements, and mucosal textures for post-operative review and education.


Dual-Channel Recording: Features the unique capability to capture video streams from two independent surgical modalities simultaneously. This allows clinical teams to record an endoscopic feed and an auxiliary ultrasound or room camera feed onto a single patient profile.


5-Second Pre-Recording Buffer: Utilizes a specialized rolling buffer memory that continuously caches the preceding 5 seconds of footage. If an unexpected clinical event occurs, initiating recording ensures the moments immediately leading up to the button press are captured.


Integrated Front LCD Panel: The compact, built-in color display screen on the front console allows for real-time video monitoring, input verification, and menu navigation without occupying space on the primary surgical monitors.


Versatile Media Exporting: Features front-facing USB 2.0 ports alongside a medical-grade Blu-ray/DVD drive, giving staff flexible options to distribute copies to patients, referring physicians, or academic archives.
