PAX-it!

PAX-it was designed as a communications tool from the start. After all, the most common reason to capture an image is to show it to someone else in order to communicate a process, an event, or an idea. Specific tools have been included in the software to make PAX-it an easy and effective means of sharing images and information with others, including annotation tools, report generation, networking, and web-based image sharing.

Tools for Adding Information to Your Images:

Besides the comprehensive image database software for archiving files with pertinent tags, PAX-it allows other ways to add information to your images for communicating with others:

Annotate images with circles, boxes, drawings, arrows, and text to point out particular features Use the notepad for free flowing textual information…a sentence, a paragraph, or pages of textual notes that may be accessed whenever an image is viewed. The notepad text is searchable across images, as an aid in retrieving related items. Use the voice recorder to attach spoken notes to an image, playable when an individual image is viewed or during a slide show presentation.

Place images side by side for comparison of normal vs. defective, low mag vs high mag, points in a time course study…plates are easily constructed with up to 16 images placed side by side.

Use PAX-it's easy cut & paste features to combine regions of different images into a new image.

Tools for Compiling Images Into Written and Oral Reports

Summary of Communications Features in PAX-it Base Module

Networking
PAX-it is fully networkable, allowing an image collection to reside on your server to be shared throughout your department or company. Many of our customers dedicate a 'capture station' in the lab, with the appropriate hardware for acquiring images into a shared area on the server. Then, by utilizing our site licensing option, they are able to free up the lab computer going elsewhere to work within PAX-it to generate reports, analyze images, etc. Reports that are generated and presentations that are constructed are also accessible in this way. Areas of the collection may be password protected to prevent their alteration by unauthorized users.

PAXnet
PAXnet is an optional communications module for PAX-it. It allows you to easily share your existing database of images, reports, presentations, and data with anyone who connects to your web site. PAXnet runs on your webserver to post your PAX-it collection for others on your corporate intranet or over the internet, greatly simplifying the communications process. All your colleague needs is a browser and access to your secured site, and they may browse, search, display and download images, reports, etc. from your collection.

PAX-it RealTime Videoconferencing
The PAX-it Realtime Videoconferencing tools are offered as an optional add-on module to the base PAX-it capture unit. PAX-it RT is a telemicroscopy solution that sends a live video view from your microscope's camera while connected in a face-to-face videoconference with another site. High resolution still shots can be sent anywhere in the world in as little as 10 seconds, and whiteboarding on the images is supported.
