OKEMOS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2004-- TechSmith Corp., the world's leading provider of screen capture and recording solutions, today announced that Siemens Medical Solutions, a business unit of Siemens AG (NYSE:SI - News), has signed a multi-year agreement to embed TechSmith's Camtasia Studio real-time, screen-recording software in thousands of medical devices.

Camtasia Studio records all activity that appears on a medical device's monitor. Siemens will embed the software on devices used for angiograms, colonoscopies, computed tomography imaging (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and many other procedures. Camtasia Studio will also be embedded in picture archival and communication systems (PACS), which enable network transfers of complete digital study files, and LEONARDO workstations, which are used for post-exam image processing, review and diagnosis.

"We are committed to providing medical professionals with innovative and easy-to-use equipment that enables an expedited workflow, enhanced collaboration, and better patient care," said Robert Hebel, Vice President of Marketing for Software Components, Siemens Medical Solutions. "By leveraging Camtasia Studio's powerful recording technology, we are able to offer medical devices with the unique capability to record the results of a diagnostic evaluation. These recordings will help break down barriers between the medical specialist, referring physicians, and patients by enhancing written information with visual images. Physicians will be able to share findings with colleagues via actual video rather than notes and still images."

Camtasia Studio is the software industry's leading screen recording and production software. The product's lossless (i.e., perfect) recordings are ideal for capturing the nuances and details of medical examinations, and physicians are able to add voice narration to their videos for additional clarity and insight. Medical researchers can take advantage of the software's advanced editing features to zoom, pan or highlight specific portions of an exam video.

"We're excited about our long-term relationship with a company as widely respected and trusted as Siemens," said Troy Stein, Camtasia Studio Marketing Manager at TechSmith. "Siemens, like thousands of organizations around the world, understands that screen recordings make for better communication than words or still photos alone. That's true whether you're responsible for training employees on new software or recording sensitive medical procedures. Anyone who uses a computer can save time and improve the quality of their work by recording and archiving what they see."
