INDUSTRY WATCH
The Marcus Heart and Vascular Center is the first phase of installations across the entire Piedmont Atlanta Hospital facility .
“ Piedmont Healthcare has future expansion planned with additional operating rooms in the current facility , as well as expansion of other key healthcare services ,” said Adams .
“ It was important to select a solution that was easily expandable . In addition , we needed to create a solution that was flexible from the standpoint of user experience .”
WE WANTED A SOLUTION THAT ALLOWED US TO ROUTE VIDEO SIGNALS TO DIFFERENT OPERATING ROOMS AND ENABLED THE SURGEON TO SEE THE PERSON THEY WERE TALKING TO .
Adams added : “ Each of the wall plate locations are designed as a plug-and-play solution . The encoders were integrated on the wall , because the surfaces within the operating room needed to remain clear and clean . The surgeons , doctors or nurses can wheel in their cart with a computer or surgical equipment and easily plug the equipment into the wall plate encoder . The flexibility of Visionary ’ s PacketAV Matrix enables them to plug in the equipment necessary for the particular surgery and automatically connect .”
“ I ’ m happy with the system that AVI Systems created for us ,” said Shivers . “ The system is working great , and I ’ m impressed with the quality and reliability of Visionary ’ s PacketAV Matrix Series . The cost-effectiveness and the stability of Visionary ’ s PacketAV Matrix Series was an important selling point for us .”
Visionary ’ s 4K UHD over IP PacketAV Matrix Series encoders and decoders redefine traditional switch matrix systems to create a flexible , scalable , cinemaquality solution for IP networks . The PacketAV endpoints offer ultra-low latency with unlimited distribution capabilities . Utilizing existing network resources , the encoders and decoders can be rapidly deployed to enable cost-effective distribution of multichannel Dante / AES67 audio and video over IP . p
