Medical
Over the years, we have developed video solutions for physicians, surgeons, medical societies, meeting and congress organizers, pharmaceutical companies and surgical device manufacturers.
Experience
We have produced more than 300 live surgeries, working with a great many specialists from around the world.
As early as the 1990s, we were the first to broadcast live surgeries on two parallel screens, showing competing surgical techniques for the same indications. This approach, with real teaching value, quickly became established in gynecologic surgery.
Today we work throughout France, across Europe and worldwide: links between two countries (France–USA, France–India, France–Belgium…) or within a single country (Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, UK, USA…).
What we do
Filming and recording procedures to produce an edited video of a surgical technique. The films can be enhanced with voice-over, CGI animation, key words and scientific diagrams.
Editing a surgical video usually takes a lot of time: hours of footage to select with care. When needed, our teams, who are familiar with surgical techniques, can produce a rough cut on their own, without a physician, which makes the work more efficient and frees up the surgeon's time.
Two-way, live video and audio between a surgical team and an audience in a conference hall. The surgeon explains the technique live, the audience asks questions and joins the discussion.
The quality of the two-way audio is essential: people must be able to talk to each other naturally, free from any technical constraint.

Surgical filming
We use remotely controlled cameras on an articulated arm that can take any position over the surgical field; the camera sits above and in line with the procedure.
The surgeon always sees what the audience sees, on a high-definition monitor placed in front of them. They can focus on the procedure and hold a productive discussion with the moderator and the audience, without worrying about image, sound or transmission — or about our crew's compliance with sterile technique.
Our teams are prepared and trained to work in the most demanding surgical environments.
Transmission
We use different transmission methods, depending on the specific constraints of each meeting. There are many technical options, and they don't all allow the same things.
Within the same hospital complex, we install a dedicated fiber-optic link for the event. Fiber carries HD, 4K or 3D with no loss of quality — the image is exceptional. A single fiber can carry many signals: a dual video program, two-way audio, a technical intercom with the hall. We use 300-meter sections that can be joined to connect the operating room to the conference hall.

Preparing a live surgery
A collaboration of more than 20 years, always rich in ideas. Tamarana always listens to our needs and elevates them with new techniques, animation, and superb images and renderings. A true partnership, and consistently outstanding work.
