Method and device for archiving and processing image data passes the image data from image data sources via a bus bar structure to an interface station for turning the image data into a uniform serial digital form.

摘要

Image data from image data sources (1-4) passes via a bus bar structure to an interface station (6) that turns the image data into a uniform serial digital form. Consequently, serial digital image data of very high data speed corresponding to a very high image resolution emerges at an output (7) for the interface station. The output for the interface station links to first (8) and second (9) parallel data channels. The first channel has a data compression device (10) for compressing and thinning down an image data stream so that image data can be transmitted and processed at a comparatively low data speed in the order of 0.7 megabit/s. Keyword tags can be added during archiving along with explanatory text. An Independent claim is included for a system for implementing the method.
