Health Care Compliant TV Interface
The health care compliant TV interface system from Paradigm Multimedia allows the use of varied sizes and brands of standard consumer TVs by utilizing a small HC20 interface box, which is added behind the television. According to the company, health care facilities can gain up to a 70-percent energy savings over standard CRT TVs. The system takes a command from the pillow speaker controls and translates that into an infrared signal that the TV can understand. It then takes the audio output from the TV and sends that back to the speakers.
