Sony is spreading its wings to every walk of life. After ruling over music, movies, TV, games and electronics, Sony is pioneering in the field of medicine. 20 years of experience in medical imaging has enabled Sony to design technology to help doctors and surgeons capture, record, view and transmit high-resolution images. Sony has unveiled a high-definition recorder to capture HD videos of medical procedures. Optical HD recorder can capture and store high-definition video of medical procedures in 1440 x 1080i resolution. The device can record and store up to two hours on a 23GB PFD-23 XDCAM disc, which is sealed to help prevent scratches and preserve data with minimal degradation for more than 50 years, based on Sony's accelerated testing. And you thought Sony only made devices to capture moments of enjoyment?

The PDW-70MD XDCAM HD recorder integrates a 3.5-inch (viewable area measured diagonally) color LCD screen that allows users to view thumbnail-sized stills of footage accessible through random access memory. Hence a user can quickly identify points of interest without manually winding through hours of footage. This compacted recorder is supposed to be retailing at $14,995.
