Predisposition: the foundation of operating room integration
Advanced integration in the operating room starts with the predisposition of devices, a fundamental feature that ensures flexibility and scalability for future technological upgrades. At RIMSA, innovation is at the core of our mission, which is why all our surgical lamps for major surgeries come natively equipped with predisposition for multimedia management.
In the case of surgical lamps, predisposition involves an integrated electronic board that enables seamless and intuitive connection to multimedia systems. If a camera is required for recording or monitoring in the operating room, it can be easily installed directly on the lamp or on a dedicated arm. Thanks to our plug-and-play technology, installation is straightforward and ensures smooth integration.
When is predisposition included?
All RIMSA ceiling or wall-mounted lamps come standard with the predisposition to accommodate a camera at any time. To add a camera post-installation, simply order our KIT Camera Installation code. This predisposition is universal, compatible with both wired and Wi-Fi solutions.
When is specific predisposition required?
In particular scenarios, such as installing cameras on both lamp domes or on a dedicated arm, predisposition can be tailored to meet specific facility requirements. This flexibility makes our solutions ideal for hospitals and clinics aiming to evolve toward a fully integrated operating room gradually.

At RIMSA, predisposition is not just an option: it’s a standard that paves the way for a modern, connected, and technologically advanced operating room.
Shooting: the importance of flexibility and image quality
Video capture in the operating room is a crucial component for enhancing monitoring, documentation, and training.
That’s why RIMSA has chosen to equip its surgical lamps with state-of-the-art 4K cameras, designed to deliver superior visual quality.
Our solution stands out for its flexibility: the cameras can be configured to operate in Full HD mode to accommodate facilities that have not yet upgraded their monitors or recording systems to 4K. When the user is ready to adopt 4K technology, a simple key combination enables this advanced functionality without the need to replace the entire system.
This approach eliminates compromises, offering cutting-edge technology that is future-ready but immediately usable in environments with older equipment. High-resolution video capture ensures precise details and true-to-life colors, critical for complex surgical procedures and accurate analysis of operations.

With RIMSA, capture is not just an accessory but a strategic component to elevate your operating room, combining flexibility and forward-thinking technology.
Signal transmission: versatile connections for complete integration
Signal transmission is a key element in ensuring seamless integration between devices in the operating room.
RIMSA surgical lamps are designed with open management protocols, enabling smooth connectivity with integration systems from any manufacturer. This flexible approach allows full control of all lighting parameters through the facility’s integration system, simplifying operations and enhancing workflow.
The data transmission for the lamps is always wired, ensuring the highest level of stability and reliability, critical in a high-stakes environment like the operating room. For integrated cameras, RIMSA provides both wired and wireless solutions, catering to the specific needs of each facility.
The ability to choose between wired and Wi-Fi connections for video signal transmission offers added flexibility. Wired connections deliver unmatched stability, while Wi-Fi solutions provide greater freedom in configuring the operating room, removing cable constraints.
With this dual option and universal compatibility of our protocols, RIMSA ensures uncompromised integration, tailored to the needs of professionals and designed to support advanced multimedia management systems in the operating room.
Acquisition and visualisation: the basis for an advanced multimedia system
Viewing live footage from the operating room is essential when surgery involves teamwork. Similarly, recording surgical phases allows the creation of a historical and educational archive for medical staff and colleagues.
The video footage captured by the camera integrated into the RIMSA surgical lamp can be viewed directly on a medical monitor in the operating room. This monitor can either be integrated into the surgical lamp system or function as a standalone device, providing flexibility for real-time visualization.
However, for those seeking an advanced solution that allows not only live viewing but also recording capabilities, proper signal acquisition is crucial. To meet this need, RIMSA has developed an innovative kit that can be easily integrated even after the lamp’s installation. This kit converts the camera’s video signal from SDI to HDMI, making it compatible with dedicated recorders or more complex multimedia integration systems.
With this solution, it becomes possible to record surgical procedures for training purposes, medico-legal documentation, or internal analysis, significantly expanding the capabilities of the surgical lamp. The versatility of the kit ensures adaptability to any operational requirement, making RIMSA’s system an ideal choice for facilities aiming for technological excellence and optimized processes.
Video file management: maximum freedom
Once acquired, video files can be managed with complete freedom thanks to compatibility with any video editing or multimedia management software. This allows healthcare facilities to rely on their existing tools or, alternatively, adopt specialized solutions for optimized content management.
RIMSA provides access to a highly specialized software designed to simplify the organization, editing, and storage of video files. This solution offers a practical and reliable option for those seeking professional management of multimedia materials generated by surgical lamps with integrated cameras.

This flexibility ensures that each facility can tailor its workflow to specific needs, maximizing efficiency and enhancing the overall user experience.
Control and command: boost your operating theatre's efficiency
In the surgical environment, precise and intuitive device control is critical. Rimsa’s surgical lamps are designed to offer multiple control options, meeting the needs of any healthcare facility.
Basic control is achieved via the handle located on the lamp head, allowing adjustments to essential lighting parameters and limited camera functions. For more advanced control, wall-mounted panels or wireless remotes are available.
For facilities requiring comprehensive management, Rimsa provides complete integration solutions. Using a tablet, PC, or touch panel located directly in the operating room, users can remotely control the lamp and camera, centralizing the management of lighting and multimedia parameters.
When it comes to command, Rimsa offers three integration modules with varying functionalities, from basic management to full integration of operating room devices. To determine which module best suits your needs, contact us for personalized guidance.
