The Mac makes it easy for you to record and edit videos of surgery and share them with your students, colleagues or referring physicians.
Capture any procedure.
Record video of any surgical procedure – the output of an endoscope, a microscope, or a video camera –by networking it to a Mac Pro. The Mac lets you capture both standard definition video and the HD output from newer imaging systems.
Edit video like a pro.
Even for novices, iMovie makes it easy to edit surgical video clips. Build a case history, if you like, by adding text, graphics, photos, or radiological images. Advanced users can create more sophisticated effects with Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro.
Share with flair.
Burn DVDs with iDVD, or route movies to iTunes so you can display them on an iPod minutes after the operation. Share multi-megabyte movies on the web through a password-protected MobileMe account. Only Apple lets you share videos with this kind of speed, flexibility, and security.
