    摘要: A digital media system includes a changer control system that controls an optical disc changer. The changer control system includes a local database of metadata records containing information regarding the optical discs in the optical disc changer. The changer control system is also networked to a digital media server that stores digital media files. The digital media server includes a remote database of metadata records containing information regarding the digital media files. The changer control system provides a user interface that allows a user to access information regarding both the optical discs in the optical disc changer and the digital media files stored in the digital media server. To provide this information, a file system of the changer control system creates a merged set of selected metadata records from the local database and the remote database, in response to a request from the user interface.

    摘要: An optical scanning system for examining material associated with a substrate includes at least one scanning module for displacing two or more objective lenses, at least one optical coupling system and a translation system. The two objective lenses are mounted on one or more scan arms and are constructed to scan over regions or subregions associated with the substrate. The scanning module is configured to displace the scan arm(s) to perform the scan and thereby displace the two objective lenses. Each objective lens is arranged to deliver light to the material and collect light from the material.
