AXIS Edge · Compact OT Edge Hardware
Bring AXIS CSM to More Operating Rooms.

Compact operating-room hardware for supported CSM OR Console application functions.
AXIS Edge is a compact operating-room hardware platform for hosting supported CSM OR Console application functions near the surgical video source. It is designed for secure local capture, recording, controlled transfer and live connectivity in configurations that do not require a full interactive OR Console workstation.

| Type: | OT hardware |
| For: | Hospitals & medical colleges |
Overview
Problems it addresses
- Not every room needs a full workstation. Some operating rooms need recording and live connectivity without an interactive console.
- Space is limited. Large carts compete for floor space next to existing equipment.
- Scaling room by room is slow. Standardized compact hardware makes multi-OT rollout simpler to plan.
Who it is for
- Hospitals scaling AXIS CSM across many operating rooms
- Biomedical engineering and IT teams
- Rooms with limited floor space
Key capabilities

| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| CSM OR Console application host | Runs supported CSM OR Console application functions close to the video source. |
| Compact/headless deployment | Designed for installations that do not need a full interactive workstation in the room. |
| Compatible video capture | Captures from compatible surgical video sources. Source count, resolution and I/O depend on configuration. |
| Local recording and transfer | Records locally and transfers under configured policy. |
| CSM Command Center connectivity | Managed and configured centrally from the CSM Command Center. |
How AXIS Edge works
- Connect: AXIS Edge connects to compatible video sources in the operating room.
- Run: Supported CSM OR Console application functions run on the device.
- Manage: Configuration and sessions are managed from the CSM Command Center.
- Share: Recordings and live sessions reach authorized users through AXIS CSM.
