New Features

Updated capture interface for USB video devices

$Description: C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\release note images\Untitled (Recovered).bmp$ The user interface to capture images from USB video devices has been updated to provide better support for the growing need of devices and scenarios. Using the tConsult Cart Configuration utility, administrators can define multiple buttons to be available on the “add to case” screen. When clicked, each button will open a predefined video device. Administrators can access the video’s property dialog within tConsult Cart or tConsult Cart Configuration to make any advanced adjustments. Users can adjust the video selection and resolution on the fly within tConsult Cart. Live video can be viewed in full screen by double clicking on the video.

Hand/Foot trigger switch can now be connected via USB

Previous versions of tConsult required a hand or foot switch to be connected directly to a video capture card. These switches can now be connected directly to a USB port via a custom adapter cable available from AFHCAN. Trigger switch preference option is available in tConsult Cart Configuration.

Updated Cart Configuration utility

tConsult Cart Configuration have been updated to provide ease of support for administrators. Options have been simplified to only include items needed for routine setup and maintenance needs. Plugin configuration for has been updated to enable custom button ordering, showing button preview as it will appear on the “add to case” screen in tConsult Cart, and exposing all configuration options available for each plugin.
