Television Simplicity
with the Flexibility of the Internet |
From a single keyboard, the System allows manual or automatic (scheduled) control of
various devices such as VCR's, Laser Disc players, and Media Players. The System
utilizes the host computer as the Scheduler and Presentation Editor, as well as a player
of multi-media presentations. A single PC now acts both as the host computer and as
a Media Player. This allows us to eliminate one Media Player, making our system more
competitively priced with other companies offerings while continuing to provide
significantly more functionality and features.
|
In addition, the network can easily be expanded to meet hospitals' changing
needs, with no equipment obsolescence. The System can also control Digital Media Players,
each capable of playing a minimum of 3-4 hours of MPEG-1 programming.
Video sources (e.g. broadcasts from
the chapel) and user-created presentation pages in PowerPoint™ can be scheduled
to play at specified times on designated channels. Video signals from Satellite
Receivers, Live Camera Feeds, Teleconferencing Equipment, etc., can be added to 'Real
Time' input signals and distributed over the television system. |
|
Remote offices are
integrated with a combination of Fiber optic network connections and on-site, specialty
specific, video file servers.
One video switch can control up to
14 video devices, and connect any of the devices' outputs to any or all of 6 output
channels. Network flexibility allows a virtually unlimited number of configurations.
The system can be easily expanded to control more devices and provide additional inputs
and outputs. To ensure ease of use, all presentations, message page creation, device
control, and scheduling, are performed using a single keyboard and mouse. With minimal
training, anyone with Windows 95 / 98 experience will be able to take advantage of the
Systems many features. |

Expanding the Boundaries of Television
The IVT system is a high-impact communication tool for many
hospitals. With it, powerful video and multi-media programming can be delivered to your
critical audiences. In a fast-paced, changing business world it can be the
competitive edge your hospital is looking for.
Delivered digitally in an MPEG-2 format provides the same high-quality broadcasting
capabilities to private organizations that it does to commercial providers such as CNN and
the Disney Channel.
Businesses, associations, educational institutions and governmental agencies now have
the flexibility of broadcasting their programming in a secure format to virtually any
location in the United States. Whether it is to the home, office or school, you can
deliver quality broadcasts to a programmer's targeted audience.
|
| Satellite dishes that once sat idle
when not receiving corporate broadcasts provide businesses, organizations and individuals
with up-to-the-minute information on health news, world news, financial markets and
weather 7-days-a-week, 24-hour-a-day. |
What You Want...

The advantages of digital broadcasts are manifold. The service allows direct
distribution of multimedia data to customer PCs, intelligent TV's or interactive set-top
receivers. Extremely broad bandwidth means that media-rich programming is faster,
clearer and fuller. Users receive many times more video and audio than is possible
through any other practical means, with transmission quality that is unmatched.
NOW AVAILABLE!!
Data broadcast service is comprised of three distinct, yet complementary, elements:
CONSUMER
The consumer service is by subscription. For a monthly fee,
subscribers have available a variety of programming
of individual interest.
We showcase the multimedia-rich content health professionals want
most.
BUSINESS NETWORKING
Customers employ the service to enhance web-based activities
including corporate communications, file transfer, training and development. A hospital
can contract the level of service it requires, from sporadic transmission over a fixed
period of time, to a 24x7 dedicated channel of up to 30 Mbps. Continuing education
for professionals, sales and statistical data for multi-site organizations and data files
can be quickly and economically distributed to LAN and WAN remote locations at any time
and in any volume, on a regularly-scheduled basis, or virtually continuously.
EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES
Educational Data Services provides multimedia products for
professionals continuing education, patient education and home-schooling activities.

and multimedia data files are sent to their remote locations via our Data Broadcast Satellite transmission system.

| OVERVIEW |
| Satellite service offers Select
hospitals the capability to expand their Private Virtual Networks via the delivery of data
through Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service. The Select hospitals can do this by
utilizing the Network's ability to transmit hundreds of megabytes of material to their
remote location(s) in a very short period. The Select hospitals can distribute such items
as training materials, operations data, marketing materials and other business critical
data to their remote locations as desired. Distributing data via direct satellite
broadcasting is more efficient, cost effective and reliable than traditional means of
distributing data. |

| GENERAL OVERVIEW OF END TO END FILE TRANSFER VIA DBS |
|
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FILE TRANSFER FROM END TO
END
USING SATELLITE BROADCAST SYSTEM |
| Part 1: Transmission of files from customer to
Uplink Facility |
| Internet access will allow the hospital to send data
via FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to the FTP server at satellite Uplink facility. The
customer can use "off the shelf" FTP client software to attach and transfer
files to the FTP server. The data subscriber will have a password protected account
on the FTP Server. |
|
| Part 2: Transmission of files from FTP Server to
Satellite Distribution. |
| The FTP server will automatically place the hospitals
files on the computer which will spool the files on a scheduled basis to the Satellite. |
|
| Part 3: Reception of files from Satellite Dish
and receiver (PCI card) |
| The remote site will have a PC equipped with an
receiver card. Software will be provided that will run on the remote PC to receive
the files as they are transmitted to the PCI card. The system will write the
middleware that receives and stores the file data. The middleware will be signaled when
the desired section has arrived. The middleware will construct the file from the sections
as they arrive and keep track of the sections that do not arrive when expected. For
example if section 21 arrives then section 23 arrives, the software will keep track that
section 22 didn't arrive and add it to a list of missing sections. When the data repeats,
the sections that arrive would be removed from the missing list. Once all the sections
arrive, the file would be closed. If the data isn't scheduled to repeat the file will be
closed after receiving the last section. If the file was opened for exclusive use and
there are missing sections when the file is closed, then the file will be deleted. The
remote customer will run the desired application to access the data once it is stored on
the remote PC's hard disk. No modifications to the applications should be necessary.
At each location, the file structure will remain the same. The files at the hospital's
main will be arranged into the desired directories and subdirectories and then transmitted
using FTP to the FTP server in the Unlink facility. The files are then spooled to the
Satellite and to the client side software will place the files on the receiving PC with
the exact same names, directory structure and file attributes as where on the PC at the
main location. |
| THE FILE STRUCTURE IS MAINTAINED ACROSS COMPUTERS
DURING TRANSFER |
|
| SUMMARY The Satellite system will provide for its customers a means to transmit data to
the customer's virtual private network and remote locations. In the same fashion
that only authorized satellite receiver boxes can receive certain TV programming, the
hospitals data will be secure as only authorized receivers can retrieve the data.
The flow of files from the customer's main office to remote sites will be fairly
simple. It is based on industry standards and off the shelf technology whenever possible.
Transmission of hundreds of megabytes of data can be achieved in a short time period in a
secure reliable and effortless fashion.
