Abstract
Stroboscopy is daily used to examine the larynx (vocal movement) and video casette recorders (VCR) are used to save the results. However, this sequential type of data storage device is limited. by its inability to : 1) support quick retrieval of the desired images, 2) allow frame by frame observation and printing, and 3) offer a speedy means of data editing and transfer. To solve these problems, the author have newly designed a full digital data system for the stroboscopy of the larynx. It offers following advantages : 1) easy operation, 2) quick display and retrieval of previous images, 3) basic digital image processes (rotation, cutting out of selected images, etc.), 4) capability to print 28 consecutive frames in 1 sheet with a fundamenal frequency, 5) ability to import any image from the VCR (previously recorded), 6) support many image formats (Quicktime, MPEG, AVI, etc.), and 7) send image to any place at any time (internet). This system will play an important role in the digital environment (including the internet) to connect facilities, send and receive images with sound and other biological data in the near future.
