Digital OR Overview

What Is a Digital Operating Room System?

A Digital Operating Room system integrates video sources, displays, recording, and workflow interfaces into one structured platform. It helps surgical teams and healthcare project teams manage video routing, device connectivity, and digital collaboration more efficiently within the operating room.

How ORCHEX™ Fits into the Digital OR Concept

ORCHEX™ is a Digital Operating Room integration system designed to centralize video routing, recording, display management, and workflow interaction in modern surgical environments. It provides a structured digital layer between medical video sources, hospital systems, and operating room users.

Instead of relying on separate devices and fragmented control points, ORCHEX™ helps unify digital operating room functions into one coordinated platform for visualization, communication, and workflow management.

ORCHEX™ focuses on video, workflow, and integration. It does not replace primary HVAC, medical gas, or room environmental control systems.

Core Elements of a Digital OR System

Video Routing Centralized signal switching and monitor assignment
Recording & Streaming Procedure capture, archive, and remote collaboration
Device Integration Connection to cameras, imaging systems, PACS, and workstations
Workflow Interface Touchscreen-based interaction and digital coordination
In broader operating room projects, ORCHEX™ can work alongside the Surgical Control Panel and other room infrastructure solutions while remaining focused on Digital OR integration.
System Architecture

Digitl OR System Architecture & Video Flow

How Video & Data Flow Works

1

Video signals from surgical equipment are captured via HDMI or IP interfaces.

2

Signals are processed and routed through ORCHEX™ for switching, duplication, or distribution.

3

Content can be displayed on multiple monitors simultaneously or selectively routed.

4

Video can be recorded, archived, or streamed in real-time across the hospital network.

ORCHEX™ functions as the digital integration layer of the operating room. It connects video, data, and workflow — while remaining independent from HVAC control logic, medical gas systems, and core infrastructure systems.
