Digital Video for EEG Systems

Overview

Digital Video is designed as a plug-in software module to add synchronised digital video capabilities, and does not necessitate the use of any proprietary hardware. As with all Compumedics products, Digital Video incorporates the latest network and software technologies in order to offer the customer a finely tuned, high performance application. This software product integrates seamlessly with Compumedics EEG data collection and review software packages.

Digital Video can also be incorparted into our Notebook EEG systems, allowing portable video monitoring in the ward, ICU and OT.

The Latest in Software Compression Technology

Compumedics Digital Video software is designed to take full advantage of the latest in video compression technologies to ensure accurate image reproduction with the lowest possible data storage overhead. The MPEG-4 CODEC, a compression technique optimised for smooth network functionality, was chosen as the best format for transmitting video images over a LAN or WAN and for Multicast Viewing.  Multicast allows simultaneous viewing of the video data over the network on multiple computers. 

And, because MPEG-4 is a software compressor, special processing cards are not required to be installed in the computer.

With a consistent and stable platform for recording video data in place, Compumedics has developed multiple user interfaces for reviewing the data. 

The interface is designed to include review and control features that are of specific importance for each application.
