I work within hospitals for training, and typically run 3x PTZ cameras and one feed from an angio lab which has a DVI out using Blackmagic Atem ISO extreme with SDI PTZ cams quite successfully. But audio has had a lot of noise which we think links back to the long cable runs and the proximty of medical diagnostic equipment (CT Scan). Also issues creep in with the SDI/HDMI adapters and long cable runs from time to time and thus have decided to try and switch to NDI. Important note equipment moves frequently and only gets set up for a day or so a few times a year. No permanent cabling etc (the hospital is completely wired though with 6E and 10gb switches connected via fiber.



As a first step we are experimentign with Dante for Audio to try and solve the noise issues. Since we switchng to Ethernet the plan is to dump the ATEM go to VMIX and switch to three NDI cameras and use an ndi encoder to connect to the DVI from the CT Scanner as well.

Currently the 'broadcast' is sent to a large training room and displayed via projectors to the learners.



In the future there is a desire to now also add up to two camera's in the training room, with a presentation also on NDI and have a video of the training room going back to the O.R. for the operators to see whats happening in the training room.

I think I will need two VMIX PC's one in the OR processing the 4 video feeds from the O.R. and the Dante audio there and one in the training room with 2 cameras and a presentation and dante there. Everything is local on 10g network an in its own domain.

The final future goal is two have up to three people 'dial in' on a zoom call or the likes to be added into the mix.



Ideally all 5 PTZ's, the dvi out from the diagnostic CT Scanner, the powerpoint presentation, and the callers can be controlled/mixed from one location in the training room. Understanding that Rome wasnt built in a day, the first computer is about to be bought and the following broad thoughts are being discussed and YOUR input would be massively appreciated. Additionally 1080p is more than enough and NDI HX instead of Full NDI should be adequate.


Intel® CoreTM i9-14900K and a 4080 Super with 32gb memory and two seperate 2TB Nvme drives all in a 5U Rackmount Server Chassis screwed into a Stagg ABS 10u case for easy transport between hospitals with the group. Should we consider AMD, is the 4080 the right GPU how much memory do w really need?

Thanks

Thank you, I will do some homework on the Barco ImagePros. I will take your advice and settle on the i9. One question which graphics card would you recommend.

With regards to the hospital network, they network administrator have preconfigured certain ports when connected to automatically route the traffic onto a different IP range and subnet mask, completely seperated from hospital traffic. I am not sure how to check how they'll cope with AV traffic. With the long run (yes we're in cath lab, which is about 200m away and on a seperate floor where we cant run our own cables between point a and b).

Tx again!
