Recordings & Results :
The research in high definition and ultra high resolution (4K) over a 2D and 3D in educational medical surgery: the end-to-end combination of the 4K and HD 3D hardware technologies has a number of challenges, such as: Experience of 3d Full HD in medical surgery, VC and streaming, Benefits and disadvantages of 4K over Full HD and Usage of 4K in educational purposes. One of the main goals will be introduction of the usage of 3D technology for medical purposes and evaluation of advantages and disadvantages of the 4K and stereoscopic streaming technology over optical networks in medical diagnostics.

Conclusions :
During the INFO2012 fairs and conference held in Zagreb on 15-17 November 2012 the first presentation of the 4K 3D technology in Croatia was demonstrated. It was prepared by the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center in cooperation with the CARNet - Croatian Academic and Research Network with support from VISIONAIR project. The importance of the fairs was indicated by the presence of the President of Croatia, Professor Ivo Josipovi?, who after the official opening of the conference visited PSNC booth. PSNC in cooperation with CARNet prepared a demonstration presenting advanced streaming technologies required for transmission of ultra high-resolution 3D multimedia streams. The main goal of the demonstration was to present usage of 4K 3D technology in medical applications. The experiment simulated possibility of live streaming of 3D image from the operating rooms between two distant medical centers connected with CARNet broadband network and the GEANT backbone. Part of the materials presented during the demonstrations was recorded by PSNC team during jaw reconstruction operations conducted in the Clinical Hospital of Poznan University of Medical Sciences. The demonstration was dedicated for medicians from Poliklinika Svietlost and studenst from the University. During the three days of the fairs, in addition to demonstrations dedicated for the medical community, there were also many regular demonstrations of 4K 3D materials for people from different other scientific communities and students visiting the fairs. All participants were impressed with presented technology and materials. The integration of technology was done (4K 3D streaming, establishing network between Poland and Croatia). GEANT network was used. 4K 3D Technology was presented to medicians who did basic QoE assesment in order to test 4K 3D image for medical purposes. Results were promising as the quality was assesed as excellent. 4K live streaming over photonic with compressed JPEG2000 encoding can be used for medical purposes because of visual lossless compression quality and very low latency.
