5-2-1 Introduction
The Vivid™ S5 N and Vivid™ S6 N systems are equipped with a highly efficient power supply, resulting
in low power consumption and minimal acoustical noise. Among other significant features are the
following:
• Integrated, low-power Front End (uses advanced ASIC and FGPA technologies).
• Open connectivity using multiple USB ports
• High-performance LCD monitor, with fully-adjustable contrast and viewing angle
(Vivid S6 N systems: 17" display; Vivid S5 N systems: 15" display)
• Low profile, backlit keyboard
Vivid™ S5 N and Vivid™ S6 N have a digital beam forming system (incorporated in the Front End) that
can handle up to 192 element linear probes using multiplexing.
Signals flow from the Probe Connector Panel, to the Front End (FE) Electronics, to the Back End
Processor (BEP), and finally are displayed on the monitor and peripherals.
In addition, the Vivid™ S5 N and Vivid™ S6 N systems enable acquisition of the following signals:
ECG, and external ECG. The ECG module, which supports acquisition of three bipolar ECG channels
(leads I, II, III), is incorporated in the cabinet cage assembly to provide ECG signals to synchronize
cardiac ultrasound image acquisition. Additionally, other analog inputs from devices such as treadmills
are processed.
