Abstract

 Kyushu University Hospital has continued telemedicine activity based on international broadband network since 2003 and conducted 253 events which connected 149 institutions in 27 countries by March, 2011. Standardization of audio and visual devices in the network should be important to improve our activity, then, on 2007, we drew out the standard configuration of the DVTS setup which included our technical know-how gained from the past configuration of the early stage. In this study, we developed a package (DVTS package) of audio-visual equipments which is based on the modified standard configuration. We evaluated DVTS package by the new standard configuration with the old configurations. The results show that the DVTS package does not only solve some problems of the old configurations, but also supports universal power voltage and English language even though this package is developed with Japanese products. The DVTS package is useful for DVTS as well as a Web conference system in a spacious venue.
