3D Full HD Broadcast from a Robotic Surgery

Experts from CESNET and the Masaryk Hospital in Ústí nad Labem, on Thursday 10 June, performed a unique real-time 3D Full HD stereo broadcast of a kidney surgery performed by a da Vinci robot.

Images from the surgery travelled from the surgery room at the Hospital to the Prague CESNET headquarters. The online broadcast was conducted over a 10 gigabit link, which is a part of the standard infrastructure of the national research network CESNET2. During the broadcast, the data stream reached transfer speeds of approximately 2.5 Gbps and the signal delay along the transmission stream was less than 1 ms, enabling a truly real-time broadcast.

The special broadcast equipment was developed by CESNET as a part of its research project Optical National Research Network and its New Applications.
