xiv TIMS MVP
™
Setup and Configuration Guide
Preface
The
TIMS MVP
™
User’s Guide
consists of two parts:
•
This
TIMS MVP
™
Setup and Configuration Guide
provides hardware setup and software
configuration information for IT & biomedical engineering professionals.
•
The
TIMS MVP
™
Operator’s Guide
provides instructions for technicians and medical
professionals to work with the TIMS MVP System in everyday operational use.
What Is TIMS MVP?
TIMS MVP
™
is an integrated hardware/software system powered by the TIMS Medical Video
Platform (MVP), a software architecture upon which all TIMS MVP medical products are built for
delivering high performance medical video applications.
TIMS MVP
™
provides for the recording,
editing, labeling, review, analysis, and archiving of medical video throughout the healthcare
enterprise. This includes fluoroscopy, endoscopy, cardiology, angiography, ultrasound, surgical
video, and any other medical video modality. All studies can be archived to PACS/VNA in DICOM
format and exported as DICOM or MP4 video for sharing, distribution, and integration into reports
and presentations. Any DICOM study can be imported into
TIMS MVP
™
for full use within the
system.
What Is IDEA Auto-SYNC?
IDEA Auto-SYNC is an application that enables you to optimize the performance of TIMS MVP
™
with
your modalities. Although TIMS MVP
™
provides predefined common hardware profiles (CHP) files
for its Foresight Imaging video capture boards, you are recommended always to create your own
customized CHP files. You do this using Auto-SYNC.
