Gisela Hospital provides basic health-care for destitute and underprivileged people in a developing region in Bangladesh. Built by a local NGO with the support of a fund-raising project organized by German doctors, the hospital is now under local control. All medical equipment has been procured through financial and product donations. To reuse a legacy ophthalmologic diagnostic sono-graphic scanner in conjunction with a modern, space and weight-reduced flatscreen monitor, the hospital needed a solution for lossless conversion of high-resolution analog video signals to digital signals. IHSE's distributor BellEquip Germany together with Gisela Hospital's Association developed a solution in cooperation with IHSE to meet the complex requirements.
The multi-signal converter donated to Gisela Hospital by IHSE converts analog signals including S-Video and RGB to digital DVI signals. The converter supplies high investment security, extending the lifetime of legacy machines by enabling continuous use in conjunction with up-to-date monitors, which is also ecologically beneficial. Markus Drautz, Sales Director of IHSE said: "It was clear from the start that we wanted to support the project. If our converter enables an old medical instrument to be reused for charity purposes and perhaps even save lives, this really makes us proud."
