Yes, the MD62, MD11 and SL11 are fully compatible with each other.

No, a direct line-of-sight is not required. Rocoto products operate on the 5GHz & 6GHz band, which allows its signal to penetrate or deflect off common OR objects. A robust link is maintained as long as the units are not fully enclosed in metal.

Any Rocoto transmitter can stream to up to four receivers simultaneously (multicast). Multicasting adds no additional latency and causes no degradation in video quality.

Up to 6 transmitters can operate simultaneously in the same room.

All Rocoto products support reliable, high-quality transmission up to 50m (line-of-sight). Within a typical OR environment with standard obstructions, it is robustly designed to cover all corners of the room.

Yes, the video link is highly secure and designed for a medical environment:

• Encryption: Video is encrypted using AES-256.

• Key Exchange: The encryption key is securely exchanged via RSA during pairing.

• Air-Gapped: The proprietary link is a closed system. It does not have access to the internet or the hospital's internal network, making it isolated from external threats.

In addition, the video link does not include any personalized data.

The latency is ~1 milliseconds. This ultra-low latency is achieved through a unique, patented video modem technology invented Rocoto.

All Rocoto transmitters and receivers operate on the unlicensed 5GHz spectrum. Rocoto products compatible with the Rocoto 2.0 protocol utilize both 5GHz and 6GHz (UNII5) spectrums. We chose this bands for several key advantages:

• More Reliable: Unlike the overcrowded 2.4GHz band (used by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.), the 5GHz band provides a clearer, more reliable channel for low-latency video.

• No Line-of-Sight Needed: 5GHz signals are not blocked by people or equipment moving in the OR. This is critical for maintaining a consistent link in a dynamic environment.

• Co-existence: The 5GHz spectrum provides numerous channels, allowing multiple Rocoto systems to operate in the same room without interfering with each other.

• The 6GHz (UNII5) spectrum allows 12 additional non-overlapping 40MHz channels.

Rocoto products use a proprietary wireless communication protocol, not Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. This protocol was meticulously engineered to deliver high-resolution video with exceptional robustness and ultra-low latency, all powered by our patented chipsets and algorithms.

The system’s robustness comes from a combination of two key technologies:

• JSCC (Joint Source Channel Coding): This technology, embedded into Rocoto chipsets, allows the system to use the entire wireless channel capacity with extreme efficiency. As wireless channel capacity changes (due to movement or interference), JSCC automatically adapts to ensure the highest possible video quality without adding any latency, as no feedback channel is required.

• MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output): This uses multiple antennas on both the transmitter and receiver to create many signal paths. This method overcomes fading and interference, resulting in a more stable connection, minimized errors, and optimized data speed.

To guarantee the highest quality of video, you must use cables that support the required resolution, up to 4K 60 FPS.

• For SDI: Use a 12G-SDI compatible cable.

• For HDMI: Use an HDMI 2.0 compatible cable.

Over 100,000 links based on Rocoto core technology have been installed worldwide since 2009.
