DVD/CD Reader and CD Writer (DVD/CDR-W)
The DVD/CDR-W is used to back-up images and reports, in a similar way as using the MOD. In addition,
the DVD/CDR-W is used as the main source of software upgrades and other service utility operations.
Capable of reading all types of CDs including DVD, the DVD/CDR-W is controlled by the BEP via the
USB port.

Magneto-Optical Drive (MOD)
The MOD is used to back-up images and Reports. The Back up process enables storage of the images
and Reports for future review on Vivid i n ultrasound units, or other EchoPac-compatible devices. The
MOD is controlled by the CPU via a USB port supported by a USB-to-SCSI converter. Only 2.3 GB
media are officially DICOM compatible. Magneto-Optical media of any other size (up to 9.2 GB) may be
used for back-up, but will not be compatible with DICOM (even though they will be supported by a
variety of GE DICOM reviewing stations such as, EchoPAC).
