3D Capable Wide Screen HD OR Monitor Introduced

A new medical-grade monitor offers three dimensional (3D) image quality, flexibility, functionality, and reliability to the operating room (OR).

The Panasonic EJ-MDA32U-K3D medical-grade 32” monitor is fully compliant with medical equipment standards, delivers exceptional 2D and 3D image quality, and can display multiple images from various sources at once. The monitor supports two high definition (HD)-SDI inputs, two DVI inputs, and an analog input. This allows live viewing of the surgical procedure, radiological images, and vital signs on a single display. For increased flexibility, the device can accept up to three different inputs to simultaneously allow multiple 3D viewing, helping to reduce clutter, and cabling in the surgical suite.


The 3D feature of the monitor rely on Xpol technology, a circular polarizing system that offers several advantages over linear polarization solutions by polarizing each pixel for viewing via cheap, passive, polarizing glasses that maintain the stereoscopic effect even when the head is tilted to the left or right, a vital benefit linear polarization solutions cannot offer. This feature enables a natural viewing experience, allowing several clinicians or medical students in the OR to watch the same 3D display. The Panasonic EJ-MDA32U-K3D is a product of Panasonic Corporation (Osaka, Japan).

“The EJ-MDA32U-K3D helps to improve the surgical experience by having a large screen, HD image that can be clearly viewed by all clinicians, while also providing flexibility that helps to reduce clutter,” said Scott Thie, director of healthcare at Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. “By allowing up to three images to be displayed on the screen at once – from multiple input sources – and by delivering high quality 3D and 2D HD images, we offer a single device that addresses multiple needs in the surgical suite.”

Additional features include HD images with over 2 million pixels and a 1,200:1 contrast ratio, and IPS-Pro Panel technology that reproduces vibrant color, stereoscopic effect, and a perspective which enables the natural full HD images to be viewed from a wide selection of angles such as top, bottom, left, and right.
