For general and detailed information about the DIGISTAT®environment and the
instruction for use of the Control Bar software see the document “DIG UD CBR IU 0005
ENG V01 - Digistat Control Bar User Manual”.
The DIGISTAT®“Image Bank” module is a powerful and flexible solution for image and video
acquisition. It has been developed for departments whose main working tool is photo and video
documentation.
Image and video acquired from any standard video source can be easily archived and retrieved.
Patient reports are widely configurable. An integrated word processor makes it possible to associate
text notes to the images.
Image and video acquisition can be performed using either the mouse device or a remote control (a
footswitch , for example).
DIGISTAT®“Image Bank” can work in background: image and video acquisition by remote
control is active when the module is not selected.
1.1. Module selection
To select the “Image Bank” module:
click the corresponding icon on the lateral bar (Fig 1).
Fig 1
The main screen of the module will appear. The data displayed on screen refer to the patient
