Case Study: University Hospital streamlines patient information sharing with Black Box MediaCento AV-over-IP

University Hospital streamlines patient info access in 2 weeks with Black Box

University Hospital, a large university hospital in Denmark, needed to optimize its doctors' and nurses' time by allowing them to access patient information directly in patient rooms without having to return to central nurses' stations or carry portable PCs. The challenge was to implement a system that could easily disseminate HD content from source PCs to many room screens over their existing CAT5 network. Black Box Network Services provided a solution using its MediaCento AV-over-IP products.

Black Box implemented a MediaCento system with transmitters and receivers to extend HDMI and DisplayPort signals over IP. This allowed the hospital to display content from three nurses' stations onto 16 to 20 screens in patient rooms. The solution streamlined workflows, giving medical staff more time to focus on patient care. The hospital was so impressed with the fast implementation and results that it plans to use this as a test case for future expansion.
