By: Ramin Ekhtiar 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.
