CAMPBELL, CA , a worldwide leader in media management and Ultra
Wideband (UWB) wireless technology, today announced a channel
partnership with Data Distributing to offer the Focus PX Medical
Video Archive. Based upon the Focus Enhancements ProxSys� family of
Media Asset Management (MAM) solutions, the PX Medical Video
ArchiveTM provides instant, reliable, and secure access to medical
video libraries. The PX Medical Video Archive will be on display at
Data Distributing's booth (#3915) and QStar Technologies' booth
(#5413) at the 93rd Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting of the
Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) show, November 25-30,
2007, at the McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.
In the medical field, instant access to video archives is
crucial. Manually locating, archiving, and retrieving large volumes
of videotapes and DVDs is extraordinarily time consuming. The PX
Medical Video Archive enables medical professionals to manage and
access their entire video library -- from surgical footage to
video-based training programs -- with ease, reducing clinical video
search times by as much as 80 percent. Designed for fast
performance, the PX Medical Video Archive uses rich metadata to
make it easy to find and retrieve media assets quickly and
low-resolution proxy files offer quick media preview, while
protecting high-resolution media assets, and saving valuable
network bandwidth.
"Over the past five years, ProxSys has been established as the
MAM solution of choice in the production and education markets,"
said Shaun McTernan, VP of Enterprise Solutions for Focus
Enhancements. "There is a high demand in the medical market for
efficiently managing and archiving surgical video files and the PX
Medical Video Archive is a perfect fit for the medical profession.
We are very excited about our partnership with Data Distributing, a
leading distributor in the medical imaging industry, and are
confident that their expertise allows us to provide the highest
level of customer satisfaction with each PX Medical Video Archive
deployment."
"Our partnership with Focus Enhancements enables us to provide
productivity tools to several departments within a hospital," says
Nancy Fisher, President and CEO of Data Distributing. "Department
heads have been tasked with increasing efficiencies and throughput,
and this solution from Focus Enhancements does just that.
Additionally, when paired with QStar archiving software, and Rimage
Disc Publishing Systems, you have a very desirable bundle that is
appealing for cardiology, ultrasound and surgical
applications."
To bring further value to PX Medical Video Archive customers,
Focus Enhancements offers several optional add-ons from
best-of-breed technology providers, including QStar's HSM
(Hierarchical Storage Management) software, Plasmon's G-Series UDO
Libraries, and Rimage's on-demand digital publishing systems. QStar
HSM software provides the PX Medical Video Archive with seamless
access to video archives over six-months old on a Plasmon UDO
library, and facilitates a link between the PX Media Sever and the
archive hardware. The Rimage on-demand digital publishing systems
gives PX Medical Video Archive users unique data protection,
offering a comprehensive, cost-effective and compliant
network-based solution for backup and archiving.
