Medical Imaging Video Capture

EMS has supplied video capture hardware into medical imaging environments for decades — long before "medical imaging" was ever a marketing category on our own site, it was simply one of the markets our capture cards ended up in, because hospitals and device manufacturers needed the same thing broadcast engineers did: reliable, low-latency capture of a video signal into a PC, for review, recording or display.

Our range covers the signal types still common in clinical and diagnostic equipment — SDI, DVI, VGA, Composite and HDMI — alongside current-generation UHD (4K) capture for the newer generation of high-resolution endoscopy, ultrasound and surgical camera systems. As a UK supplier, we work directly with medical device manufacturers integrating capture hardware into their own products (OEM), as well as hospitals and imaging centres building multi-display diagnostic review stations.

Typical deployments include: capturing endoscopy or laparoscopic camera feeds for recording and review; multi-modality diagnostic review walls combining ultrasound, MRI and CT output onto one display; and surgical theatre displays where a low-latency, reliable capture path matters more than almost anywhere else. Cards like the XtremeRGB-Ex2+ and Xtreme-HD4 are established choices here, precisely because they handle the mixed legacy-and-current signal types medical equipment still uses.

Every card in the range is a standard PCIe device — no proprietary software required, and no VSN wall controller needed unless the deployment specifically calls for a multi-display wall.
