NUCLeUS™ Sound
NUCLeUS™ Sound PRODUCT SHEET At a glance NUCLeUS™ Sound Communicate with colleagues in the hospital. Discuss your case live while watching the broadcasted surgical video.
Conferencing in NUCLeUS™ is designed for the clinical procedure and perfectly supports the needs of the medical staff. The audio system is fully integrated in the NUCLeUS™ system. Switching (NUC-SM-VD01) activates the possibility to make use of the web radio. Intranet Conferencing (NUCSM-C01) activates the bi-directional voice communication feature. Two-way voice communication is needed in order to make a successful conference. NUCLeUS™ Sound offers different options to make a conversation possible: from headset only to full operating theatre sound with echo cancellation.
For every day, and for events. Use it for ad-hoc ‘webinars’ or for high quality point-to-point transmissions.
All operating rooms can also be equipped with a music distribution system, whether using a docking station for an mp3 player, a webradio or a streaming service.
Comprehensive conferencing solution Bi-directional audio communication for NUCLeUS™|OR to NUCLeUS™|Web. No client software installation needed.
Advantages
Digital by Design IP-based system. Stream audio without quality loss. Music in the OR When no conferencing is taking place, the audio distribution system can be used to play music.
Easy to use and quickly accessible An audio conference can be set up at any time in just a few seconds. Four buttons on NUCLeUS™|OR touch user interface suffice to switch the headset, microphone, loudspeaker and to control playback volume. Visible audio cabling is kept to a minimum. All other audio equipment is either flush mounted or in the adjacent technical room.
High quality audio, reliable and low maintenance Most of this equipment remains hidden from the user and is part of the operating room infrastructure. Power consumption and maintenance are minimal. All audio equipment is positioned at a safe distance from the patient zone and provided with medical-grade power supplies.
Extensible and customizable NUCLeUS™ Sound has a modular system approach. For voice communication, the basic configuration consists of wireless headsets. The high-end solution is more extensive with ceiling-mounted microphones and loudspeakers. Operating room staff can listen to music using a webradio and / or an mp3 player. These three options can be installed in hybrid configurations, using a smart combination of headsets, ambient microphones and music distribution. Microphone and loudspeaker types can be adapted to specific user needs or acoustic environments.

In order to determine which audio features are wanted, this scheme can be used to discriminate the needs of the client. Three use cases are being exposed on the following pages.
In case of voice communication, headsets can always be used in combination with the mixer. NUCLeUS™ Sound - 1308

Recommended configurations can be implemented with various options. For each of them, NUCLeUS™ presents an adapted and fully tested set of accessories.

From OR to desk A video source is simply enabled for broadcast via the NUCLeUS™|OR application. Similarly the surgeon can enable the audio channel from within the operating room. Once a broadcast is enabled, the remote audience can join the virtual operating room via a webpage using NUCLeUS™|Broadcast. Other authorized members of the audience can also activate their speakers and microphone. This way bi-directional audio communication between a surgeon and any PC in the hospital results.
Voice communication with ambient room audio The most straightforward audio solution for in the operating room is the audio conferencing setup with ambient room audio. Here, OR staff can speak into a flush mounted microphone which picks up the audio and sends it to the NUCleUS™ audio mixer with integrated bridge. This high-end unit will distribute audio in- and outside the OR. The integrated audio bridge is used to transport the audio signal, coming from the microphone, to another operating room or desk environment. For the transport, NUCLeUS™ converts audio to IP streams. The codec used is able to stream at low latency, which is an absolute must for a normal conversation. For this configuration, echo cancellation has been carefully thought over. When users desire to playback music coming from webradio or mp3 players, the NUCLeUS™ sound module has sufficient inputs.
Authorized users can choose between a list of ‘virtual operating rooms’. Which operating room can be visited is a configurable setting per user or per group of users. Once an operating room has been selected, a set of active thumbnails will appear for each video source enabled for broadcast in the operating room. Clicking on such a thumbnail yields a video embedded in the main view of NUCLeUS™|Broadcast. The video can also be switched to full-screen. In the operating room it is indicated who is attending the broadcast, via the broadcast audience applet in NUCLeUS™|OR.

Voice communication with headsets The most cost-efficient communication system consists of headset audio. There is no need for a powerful, external audio amplifier. Since there is no audio playback in the operating room, any feedback and echo issues are null. The headset base station has a fixed position in the operating room. An audio wall plate is used to connect base station and bridge (NUC-HW-BR1). This enables bi-directional communication over the network. When not in use, the wireless headset rests on the base station, so that it remains fully charged and ready to be used at any time. Although the base station represents one input source, it remains possible to pair multiple headsets to the same base station. Each local participant wearing a headset will hear other local and remote participants.

OR Music The NUCLeUS™ Audio Bridge is the component which is central to this OR music feature. For webradio, this central hub will pick up the audio which is streamed from outside the operating room. Out of security precautions, the OR is not connected to the internet directly. The webradio is integrated in NUCLeUS™|OR. The music tab opens a customizable selection of webradios. The volume is controlled in the software and reacts independently from the speech volume. In order to distribute the sound, a basic amplifier that is linked to loudspeakers needs to be installed. Music coming from external music devices, such as mp3 players, are connected to the same amplification system. As soon as a music player, such as an iPod, is connected to a docking station, the music will start to play. Choice of track and volume is controlled on the mp3 player.
