An apparatus and method for displaying ultrasonic data in real time reflected in a living organism. The apparatus comprises a plurality of analog-to-digital converters for digitizing reflected Doppler signals produced by reflecting a reference pulsed acoustic signal, each of the analog-to-digital converters capable of producing a plurality of digitized Doppler signals. The apparatus futher comprises a plurality of digital signal processors, each of the plurality of digital signal processors coupled to each of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters for processing digitized Doppler signals received from the analog-to-digital converters, each of the digital signal processors capable of producing a plurality of processed digital signals. The apparatus further comprises a controller coupled to the analog-to-digital converters and the digital signal processors for controlling the operation of the analog-to-digital converters and digital signal processors, controlling the receipt of the processed digital signals, and compressing each of the plurality of processed digital signals output from the plurality of digital signal processors into a plurality of signals suitable for display.
