Ultrasound image sharing
Share an ultrasound image into your Video Call
See below for two examples of Ultrasound images being shared into a Video Call. These are just two products and use cases available and these examples show how easy it is to share an Ultrasound image in a call:
Visionflex
If you have Visionflex ProEX software installed on your computer or device, you can connect the USB medical device the computer and view the camera or scope in that software. You can then use Share screen to share the ProEX application into the call - sharing vision from the camera or scope and any results into the Video Call.
| In this example the clinician is with a patient and is preparing to share the ProEX software into the call to show an ultrasound image. Select Start a screenshare from the Apps & Tools drawer. Then select Window from the share options. Select the application you would like to share into the call. |

Capture card converting the Ultrasound image to USB:
Using a capture card, for example the Inogeni card shown in the example below, you can convert video from HDMI to USB and stream the Ultrasound video directly into the Video Call.
|
Using the HDMI out for your Ultrasound equipment you can connect to a monitor to view the image. You can also use HDMI out to go into a capture card, as shown in this diagram, and convert the signal to USB. Then plug the capture card into your computer or device via USB and it will become available as a camera in the Video Call screen.
The capture card shown here will take uncompressed video and keep the high definition when converting to USB for output. |

To connect the Ultraound video stream into your Video Call, ensure the card is connected via USB to your device and then go to Settings > Select Camera in the call screen.
Select the USB camera from your available cameras. This will change your camera to the USB connected camera, giving you and the remote clinician(s) the following options:

You also have the option to share the Ultrasound image as a second camera, as shown in this example.
