al for the surgeon as they perform operations. Now, these high resolution medical images can be seen in their native resolution to conference attendees, allowing them to appreciate and better understand the procedures.

Along with the high resolution imagery, VAS also utilizes robotic cameras in the operating rooms during the procedures, allowing them to show exactly what the surgeon is doing. Chris Wooley, Managing Producer for VAS and 22-year veteran on surgical video production explains the benefits. "The new robotic cameras and fiber optic technology really cut down on the amount of production equipment required for a good broadcast, and also allows us to maximize our High-Definition capabilities and send out a clear, sharp High-Definition signal," says Wooley.

Although designed to maximize surgical broadcast, the vehicle and crew of the HDMD van have kept busy since it was built, recently being utilized by local stations in Arizona and CNN for breaking news. "Most of the local stations' studios have gone HD, but not necessarily their remote production vans," according to Wooley. "We like the diversity we have with the mobile vehicle, and are glad to assist while stations continue to upgrade their vehicles to HD." With the satellite uplink capability and being totally mobile, the vehicle has no limits. Recently, the vehicle has traveled to Washington DC, Texas, Louisiana and Kansas producing medical telecasts.
