KVM in medical applications ►
Improving the working conditions of medical staff
In the medical field, IT installations are required in practices, clinics
for special diagnostics or simulation rooms. Regardless of the in-
dividual characteristics or requirements, they all have one thing in
common: The medical staff requires a user-friendly and ergonomic
environment to be able to focus on their tasks and make the right
decisions.
KVM products have many advantages: The staff has full access to the
medical applications and thus can carry out its important work wit-
hout the need for computers to be installed directly under desks. The
employees are not disturbed by the noise of computer fans or dust,
which keeps the working environment hygienically clean. Since the
computers are placed in a remote equipment room, they are always
ready to be maintained without disturbing doctors in their work.
Hospitals usually require an endless amount of IT equipment. Mul-
tiple data streams are recorded continuously. Special applications
need to run on different computers. Here, aspects like the image
quality for diagnostic procedures are extremely important. X-rays or
MRI scans require large screens with high resolutions. The remote
computers are each connected to a KVM extender, e.g. a DL-Vision.
With the help of a transmitter and a receiver, optical fibres transmit
uncompressed data streams to the remote console over distances
up to 10,000 m. High resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
ensure crystal clear images to support diagnostic procedures. The
extender’s receiving module, the DL-Vision-CON, is placed at the re-
mote workstation. With a DL-MUX KVM switch, users can switch
between the connected computers. Thus, medical specialists always
have access to any relevant information.
The work of the medical staff is also supported by KVM matrix swit-
ches, e.g. the DVICenter DP64.
Each specialist has remote access to the necessary data. Some data
streams need to be accessed by different doctors at the same time.
Matrix switches support multi-user operation meaning multiple users
can access the same system. This approach does not only minimize
delays but increases the efficiency as well. Now doctors in clinics
can call each other and access results or X rays at the same time
without having to schedule a meeting.
