Abstract
A streaming digital recording system and method uses a video recorder object and first memory in combination with a streaming object to stream video data to a digital storage device from the first memory. Computer readable instructions of the streaming object are operative with the first memory to monitor the first memory for intermediate storage of image data recorded by a video recorder or other data recording device, and to stream the image data from the first memory to a digital or optical storage device. The streaming of video data to a digital storage device can be performed while the first memory continues to receive additional image data, resulting in rapid creation of digital image and video files. The system is also described for use in creating high resolution digital video records of medical and surgical procedures.
