The core functionality of the CuratOR Alipe is contained in the IP-Transceiver hardware components, which can be used as an encoder and decoder (transceiver).
Encoder and decoder in one device
Uncompressed, loss-free data transmission
Video transmission of up to 10 Gbit/s
Multiple views possible on a monitor
Mouse and keyboard function via the network
Audio and USB support
Passive cooling
Network connector:
Bandwith of 10 Gbit/s, prepared for optical module (SFP+ 10G LC)
The IP Transceiver are available with an optional optical module to connect to the network. The data are transmitted via fiber optic making extended distances possible, regardless of whether image, audio, video or control data.
RJ45 Connector (for future use)
USB connectors for HID devices:
USB/A x 2, USB/B x 1
Connect a mouse, keyboard and/or touchscreen to the transceiver for data control. For example, a computer in a remote computing center can be operating via the EIZO system directly from OR.
Video connection:
TIP0410-HDMI:
HDMI 1.4 (in), HDMI 1.4 x 2 (out / loop through),
up to 4K UHD at 30 Hz or full HD at 60 Hz
TIP0810-HDMI:
HDMI 2.0 (in), HDMI 2.0 (out),
up to 4K UHD at 60 Hz
Up to two video links can be processed concurrently with one TIP0410-HDMI. One of the video interfaces can be used as the input, and another interface as the output, at the same time. The connected video signal can also be lopped back through an output interface with these models. All devices work without compression, ensuring optimum image quality.
RJ11 connector (for future use)
Audio connectors:
Audio jack x 2 (in/out)
Connection of microphone, loud speakers or headset.
Lockable connector for external power supply (12 V)
IP-based data transmission enables the use of the same network cables for the transmission of all information, regardless of whether image, audio, video, or control data, for example, for keyboard and mouse. Thus for example, a computer in a remote computing center can be operating via the EIZO system directly from OR.
The Alipe IP Transceiver can be used as an encoder and decoder. The connector functionality parameters are set through the software. The number of devices and versions can thus be reduced. This simplifies installation and saves on time and labor costs associated with storage and maintenance of the entire system.
The IP Transceivers are backwards compatible with each other. This makes integration scalable and cost-efficient. For example, existing installations can be extended with the appropriate IP Transceivers to support 4K modalities.
The data are transmitted via fiber-optic cable, making transmission lengths up to 10 km possible. As a result, not only rooms, but whole buildings, can be linked to one another, and image and audio data can be transmitted not only within the OR, but also for example to conference rooms and lecture halls as well.
Integrated Video Management: Various video sources can be displayed simultaneously on a screen using a single cable to enable various multiple views, e.g. Side-by-Side, Picture-in-Picture, QuadView.
Recording and archiving of images and video data via the network.
A network based infrastructure means infinite flexibility in the hospital and beyond: All data are always available everywhere. The EIZO Alipe System is scalable and modular and therefore flexible with regard to future enhancements.
The IP Transceiver can be used as an encoder and decoder. The connector functionality parameters are set through the software. The number of devices and versions can thus be reduced. In addition, planning can be more flexible and storage and maintenance expenditures can be lowered.
The IP-Transceiver allow for a transmission speed of up to 10 Gbit/s as well as image transmission up to 4K UHD / full HD resolution at a frame rate of 60 Hz / 30 Hz, depending on the model type. The devices achieve this without compression, ensuring optimum image quality.
Images are transmitted without any visual delay, offering a seamless hand-eye coordination experience for the attending physician. He/she receives direct visual response to his/her actions, for example during endoscopic interventions.
Up to two video links can be processed concurrently with one TIP0410. This means that one of video interfaces can be used as the input, and another interface as the output, at the same time. The connected video signal can also be lopped back through the output interface.

IP-based data transmission enables the use of the same network cables for the transmission of all information, whether image, audio, video, or control of a keyboard and mouse. For example, a computer in a remote computing center can be operating via the EIZO system directly from OR.
The IP Transceiver work with passive cooling, making them silent and free of mechanical wear. This also minimizes distortion to the laminar flow in the OR and prevents the disposal of dust particles and bacteria.
