AV system for the ICZMP hospital in Lodz, Poland
For the Polish Mother’s Memorial Health Institute in Lodz, we designed and implemented an integrated audiovisual system for the angiography laboratory, the purpose of which was to provide reliable video and audio transmission between the operating room, control room and lecture hall.

Hospital
ICZMP in Lodz
AV project for hospital – live broadcast of surgery
The design is based on AV-over-IP architecture, which allows high-definition video to be transmitted from multiple sources, including an angiograph and PTZ camera, with full flexibility in signal management. The system allows live streaming and simultaneous display of multiple image sources, which is crucial for training and medical teams.
In the lecture room, a visualization system based on a large-format monitor and an intuitive touch panel was implemented, which allows quick switching of sources, management of the image layout and customization of the view according to the classroom scenario. In the control room, direct viewing of the signals from the angiograph and camera at the operator’s station was provided, allowing for ongoing control of procedures.

Audio system
Audio system in the hospital
The audio system is designed to be two-way, allowing full communication between all spaces. The intercoms used allow the operations team to provide real-time commentary and interact with trainees. At the same time, the system provides precise management of audio tracks, including independent muting of selected zones without interfering with transmission.
Controlling the hospital's audio system
The sound system is based on sets of ceiling speakers located in each space, and control of sound levels and mute functions is realized from touchscreen interfaces. In addition, the system has been expanded to include the ability to play music in the operating room, using wired and wireless sources.
Central control system in the hospital
Central to the solution is a processor-based control system that integrates all components and ensures consistent operation of the entire AV infrastructure. Users can access control from both a touch panel in the lecture hall and a tablet in the server room, allowing the system to be operated in parallel from different locations.
The designed solution meets the real needs of the medical environment – it combines high transmission quality, reliability and ease of use, while remaining scalable and ready for further expansion as the hospital’s infrastructure grows.
We design and implement AV solutions for operating rooms, diagnostic labs, lecture theaters and medical simulation centers – always taking into account the specifics of doctors’ work, technical requirements and operational reliability. Each implementation is tailored to a specific working scenario – from live transmission of procedures to systems supporting education and cooperation of medical teams.

How does the transmission of video from the operating room to the lecture hall work?
Images from medical devices (e.g., angiographs) and cameras are transmitted in real time over an AV-over-IP network. The system allows one or more sources to be displayed simultaneously on screens in other rooms.
Is it possible to transmit several image sources simultaneously?
Yes. The system allows parallel display of images from different sources (e.g., camera + angiograph) in a split-screen or dynamic switching arrangement.
How is the communication between the operating room and the lecture hall?
The audio system works two-way – doctors can comment on the procedure in real time, and trainees can ask questions in real time, without disturbing the surgical team.
Can the system be expanded in the future?
Yes. The AV-over-IP architecture allows for easy expansion with additional sources, screens or rooms without rebuilding the entire installation.
Is the system difficult for medical personnel to use?
No. Interfaces are designed to be intuitive and tailored to real-world work scenarios – we minimize the number of steps needed to perform key operations.
Is it possible to record transmissions of treatments?
Yes. The system can be equipped with an AV recorder to record video and audio for training, documentation or archiving purposes.
Can the AV system be integrated with other systems in the building?
Yes. The system can work with IT infrastructure, control systems or other installations in the building, depending on the project requirements.
Does the system meet the requirements of working in a medical environment?
Yes. The solutions are designed with high reliability, operational stability and integration with the hospital’s existing technical infrastructure in mind.
