The surgery was performed using the da Vinci S HD Surgical System. Built by U.S.-based Intuitive Surgical, this system integrates HD 3D endoscopy with state of the art robotic technology. The Superflex 3D Live Encoders and Decoders were provided by IDC for the demonstration. While the primary purpose of the SuperFlex product line is the delivery of 2D and 3D events for digital cinema, this demonstrates that the products, using technology developed by Sensio, are easy to use and have wider applications in other markets, such as 3D medical imaging. SENSIO's 3D technology, originally developed for the consumer 3D entertainment market, transforms stereoscopic high-definition video (e.g., from dual HD cameras) into its proprietary format that allows distribution of 3D content over standard infrastructure. The technology features visually loss-less stereoscopic compression and is compatible with all existing and future 3D projection technologies for 2D or 3D viewing.

IDC Demos Digital 3D Surgical Precision
International Datacasting Corporation, (TSX:IDC) has announced today the Company's Superflex 3D Live Encoders and Decoders with Sensio(R) technology on board, were used in a live 3D demonstration of a robotic surgical system held at the 9th Annual Conference of Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery Group in South Korea.
The surgery, broadcast in live 3D using technology developed for digital cinema, took place at the Korean National Cancer Institute and was transmitted through the Hyper Research Network (KOREN), a terrestrial IP network, to the conference site at the Korean National Information Society Agency where doctors and medical students were participating in a session on surgical techniques. IDC's Korean partner, Digipeg Corporation, provided the technology used for the capture and broadcast of the demonstration.
