To start recording, click the Record button at the top left side of the screen. The recording is being performed. Pause the recording when necessary. After the examination is finished, click Stop.

 

 

Step 2. Upload the recording you’ve made

Click on the Recording Status tab. It displays the list of the recordings made and stored on the computer. Click the Upload to Server button near the recording that you have just made.

 

 

Now enter the recording’s name and click Upload to New Session. You also have a possibility to upload this recording to an existing session.

 

 

Click on the Recording Status tab to control the upload progress.

 

 

Step 3. Share the recording on the web

Since the recording has been uploaded, you can share it among viewers. Just click the Share command.

 

 

The system displays a window where you can create a mailing list and send an URL of the broadcast to all participants. As soon they start up a web browser and insert the received URL in the address bar, the captured and recorded ultrasound examination will be played back.

 

As you can see, this simple approach allows for quick and accurate capturing and sharing of medical imaging data over the web. It is performed by means of Epiphan’s VGA2USB LR frame grabber and Panopto Focus software.
