A. Information to be modified:
This is the function to expand the field of view as the high grade products.
The following optional kits are required to activate this EFV function:
z SOP-ALPHA5-22 : EFV software
z EU-9112 : RT-3D analysis unit
z PM-EU-9112-1C : RT-3D kits (1)
z PM-EU-9112-2 : RT-3D kits (2)
z PM-A5-S451EXP/USA9112 : RT-3D software
(Notes)
Basically, EU-9112, PM-EU-9112-1C, PM-EU-9112-2 and
PM-A5-S451EXP/USA9112 are the components for the RT-3D function on
the system. However, they are necessary for the EFV function on the
system also, because the basic performance of the system should be
increased.
B. Upgrade Kits
It is possible to upgrade the system to Ver.4.5 when the original system
which is higher than Ver. 4.0 of ProSound alpha 5SV. It is necessary to
prepare different upgrade kits depending on the original system configuration
as follows.

*The stored image in the ProSound alpha 5 will be lost when the upgrade
is made by PM-A5-S451EXP/USA-H because the HDD is exchanged.

(Store function)
The names on the following table are added or changed corresponding to USB memory.
¾ The VCM unit EU-9083 or EU-9111 is necessary to store the multi frame images.
¾ The USB memory is recognized as “Media 1” for ProSound alpha 5 original Ver.4.5.
The “Media 2” will not be used.
¾ In case the system has the MO drive unit, MOU-a5, and then upgraded to ver.4.5,
MO is assigned to “Media 1” and USB is assigned to “Media 2”.
2. Optional DVD-RAM
The disk drive unit called DDU-200EXP (or DDU-200USA) is possible to use CD-R like
DDU-100EXP (or DDU-100USA), and then it can use DVD-RAM to write at any time like
MO disk or FD disk. Please refer to the news letter NL1083 to introduce the
DDU-200EXP (or DDU-200USA).

(Store function)
The store function for DVD-RAM is added.
Title Function
Store on DVD(S) Store the single image on the DVD-RAM using DICOM
Format
Store on DVD(JPG) Store the single image on the DVD-RAM using JPEG format
Store on DVD(M) Store the multi frame images on the DVD-RAM using
DICOM format
¾ The VCM unit EU-9083 or EU-9111 is necessary to store the multi frame images.
(Notes)
It takes a long time to access the recorded data on the DVD-RAM of ProSound alpha
5SV through the review window. It may be related to the format type for DVD-RAM
and the fragmentation of DICOM DIR. It is possible to avoid it by the following
procedure.
When the “FAT32” format is used on the DVD-RAM disk, it sometimes makes a trouble
to match the viewer software to read the data. In such case, please try to use the
“UDF 1.5” format disk to read/write the data.
2. Please select the “FAT32” at Format Type and make a mark on “Quick
format” at Option, and then press the “Start” switch on the window.
-6-
3. Please select “Yes” at the following displayed window. It will start the
formatting process for the DVD-RAM disk. It will take about few seconds.
Notes)
a. The disks in the market are usually formatted in UDF format.
b. The disks in format FAT32 may not be compatible with other vendors’
viewer. In this case we recommend to use UDF format or transfer the
data to a disk in UDF format on PC.
2) Despite the above procedures, the access time to read the stored images on
DVD-RAM will increase gradually. It seems that the access time doesn’t depend
on a type of the image, still or motion image, but it depends on the number of
images stored. For the frequent access of reading, we recommend to use a new
disk.
It is not possible to review the 3D movie data on the system when it is stored.
Note) The function to store the 3D movie data to the HDD is not supported.
The “User2” on the Control panel is assigned for the “3D Review” function at
the factory default.
Note) It is not possible to display the 3D review screen directly from RT-3D
mode. Please select the “User2” to show the 3D review screen after going
out from the RT-3D mode by pressing “3D” switch again.
It is able to operate the following function on the 3D review screen.
3-2-2. 3D volume data storage to the external media using DICOM format
It is able to store the 3D volume data to the external media like DVD and
USB memory using DICOM format.
Note 1) It is not able to reconstruct the 3D volume data on the ProSound alpha
5SV when the data are stored at DICOM format on the external media.
Note 2) It is not possible to show the image correctly for 3D volume data which
are stored on the external media when there are selected on the review
screen.

DICOM formatted 3D
volume data set
Note 3) Please do not use the data made by ProSound alpha 5SV using
DICOM formatted 3D volume data set to reconstruct the 3D image on the
following systems: ProSound alpha 10 (lower than Version 6.0) and
ProSound alpha 7 (lower than Version 1.1). The system will be blocked
because of conflict of the software level.
3-2-3. 3D volume data transfer through the network using DICOM format
It is able to transfer the 3D volume data to the server on the network using DICOM
format.

(Notes)
Basically, EU-9112, PM-EU-9112-1C, PM-EU-9112-2 and
PM-A5-S451EXP/USA9112 are the components for the RT-3D function on the
system. However, they are necessary for the EFV function on the system also,
because the basic performance of the system should be increased.
4-3. Notes
z The tracking ability will be related to the range of depth. Therefore, when this
function is used with large depth range like 17cm with the standard convex
probe, please move the probe slowly for making a good image.
The image becomes darker after freezing.
