Abstract
A medical imaging system having a processor with software executing thereon is provided for processing and display of multiple bandwidths of video in multiple display areas. The system receives a video signal with a plurality of portions and generates at least two signals there from. Each of the two signals has a bandwidth for display in a different display area. The two signals are updated so that each component displays a different portion of the input video signal, and the two signals may be combined for display on a single display device having two display areas.
Claims41
A medical imaging system comprising:
- a video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a processor for receiving said video signal;
- a first signal having a first bandwidth generated by said processor from a first one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- and
- a second signal having a second bandwidth generated by said processor from a second one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said processor alternately updating said first and second signals with portions of said video signal, said first and second signals each updated from a different one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said first signal for display in a first display area, said second signal for display in a second display area.
A medical imaging system comprising:
- at least one input module having a processor;
- a video signal received by each said input module;
- a processed video signal generated by each said input module from each said video signal, said processed video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a control module having a processor for receiving each said processed video signal;
- a first signal having a first bandwidth generated by the processor of said control module from a first one of the plurality of portions of said processed video signal;
- and
- a second signal having a second bandwidth generated by the processor of said control module from a second one of the plurality of portions of said processed video signal;
- the processor of said control module alternately updating said first and second signals with portions of said processed video signal, said first and second signals each updated from a different one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said first signal for display in a first display area, said second signal for display in a second display area.
A medical imaging system comprising:
- an input video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a processor for receiving said input video signal;

- and
- a plurality of components of said output video signal generated in an order by said processor, each component generated according to one of a plurality of bandwidths;
- each one of said plurality of components generated by said processor from a different one of the plurality of portions of said input video signal;
- each said component of said output video signal updated by said processor with portions of said input video signal according to the order;
- each one of said plurality of components for display in one of a plurality of display areas.
A medical imaging system comprising:
- a video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a processor for receiving said video signal;
- a first signal having a first signal processing mode generated by said processor from a first one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- and
- a second signal having a second signal processing mode generated by said processor from a second one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said processor alternately updating said first and second signals with portions of said video signal, said first and second signals each updated from a different one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said first signal for display in a first display area, said second signal for display in a second display area.
A medical imaging system comprising:
- at least one input module having a processor;
- a video signal received by each said input module;
- a processed video signal generated by each said input module from each said video signal, said processed video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a control module having a processor for receiving each said processed video signal;
- a first signal having a first signal processing mode generated by the processor of said control module from a first one of the plurality of portions of said processed video signal;
- and
- a second signal having a second signal processing mode generated by the processor of said control module from a second one of the plurality of portions of said processed video signal;
- the processor of said control module alternately updating said first and second signals with portions of said processed video signal, said first and second signals each updated from a different one of the plurality of portions of said video signal;
- said first signal for display in a first display area, said second signal for display in a second display area.
A medical imaging system comprising:
- an input video signal having a plurality of portions;
- a processor for receiving said input video signal;
- an output video signal generated by said processor from said input video signal;
- and
- a plurality of components of said output video signal generated in an order by said processor, each component generated according to one of a plurality of signal processing modes;
- each one of said plurality of components generated by said processor from a different one of the plurality of portions of said input video signal;
