Introduction

The MediCap® USB170 allows you to easily capture digital medical images from virtually any analog medical imaging device that has standard BNC or S-Video output. To get started, connect your USB170 as shown on page 7 and then insert the included MediCapture USB flash drive into the front panel. Now you can use your medical imaging device as you normally do while capturing images with your USB170. To turn on the USB170, first turn on the Master Power Switch on the back panel and then press the Power button on the front panel.
Capturing Still Images
When you see an image on your monitor that you would like to capture, press the Capture Photo button. This will save a still image. You can continue pressing this button to save more images.

• Important Note : There is a very brief delay (0.06 second) between the time when the video signal enters the USB170 and when it is displayed on a monitor connected to the USB170. If this delay is not suitable for your medical environment, do not connect your monitor to the USB170. Instead, connect your monitor directly to your video source; then connect the USB170 to the secondary output on your video source or use a “Y-Splitter” (not included).
• Quick Start: Review the front and back panels, and the connection diagrams on the following pages. Then refer to the “Quick Start Guide” on page 8.
• Important Note: If you do not see a video image on your monitor, use the Menu button to access the Main Menu. In the Setup Menu, make sure the NTSC and PAL settings are properly selected.
• Note: The first time you turn on your new MediCap, you will need to set the clock. To do so, press the Menu button on the front panel, go to the Settings Menu, and select Date/Time. To ensure that the clock remains accurate, leave the Master Power Switch on the back panel in the ON position at all times. You can use the Power button on the front panel to turn the unit on and off during daily use without affecting the clock.

That’s it! You’ve captured your first batch of digital images!

Connecting the MediCap USB170

To connect the MediCap USB170, see the diagram on page 7.
The MediCap USB170 is easy to set up. It connects “in-line” between a monitor and a video source (for example, an ultrasound camera, surgical video camera, etc.)

1. If you are adding the USB170 to imaging equipment that you are already using, then begin by unplugging the existing video cable that connects the monitor and the video source.
2. Connect a cable between the “Video Out” on the video source and the “Video Input” on the back panel of the USB170. Then connect another cable between the “Video Out” on the USB170 and the “Video Input” on the monitor.
3. Plug in the power cord.
4. You can also connect a standard footswitch to the “Capture” connector on the back panel. Pressing the footswitch performs the same function as pressing the Capture Photo button on the front panel. Footswitches are available as an option at medicapture.com.

Note: To make the video connections, you can use BNC or S-Video cables. If your camera or monitor uses RCA connectors, you will need to obtain a BNC- to-RCA adapter. (Some USB170 models ship with this adapter.)

Inserting a USB Flash Drive
Before you begin using your USB170, insert the supplied MediCapture brand USB flash drive in the USB connector on the front panel.

MediCapture brand flash drives come in a variety of models. The flash drive supplied with your USB170 may not look the same as the one in the above illustration, but it will function in the same way.
MediCapture brand USB flash drives are recommended because they have been tested for compatibility with the USB170. You may use other brand name USB flash drives. However, please note that compatibility is not guaranteed for non-Medicapture brand flash drives.

Capturing Images

Capturing images with your USB170 is simple. When you see an image on your monitor that you would like to capture, simply press the Capture Photo button on the front panel. The image will be saved directly to the inserted USB flash drive (later, you can transfer your images from the USB flash drive to your computer).
Each time you press the Capture Photo button, one image is captured. To capture a series of three images, press the Capture Multi-Photo button.
Two things will help you confirm that you have captured an image:

• The image number will be displayed in the upper-left corner of the monitor.
• The ‘Capture Light’ located between the two capture buttons will blink.

Important Note: If your still images appear blurry due to camera motion or moving objects, then refer to the “Anti-Blur Option” on page 15.

Reviewing Images
At any time during an imaging session, you can review the images from your latest patient session. Simply press the Back and Next buttons on the front panel. This will step you through the images.
After you review the images, you can capture more by pressing either the Capture Photo or Capture Multi-Photo button.

• To stop reviewing and resume capturing, simply press one of the Capture buttons.
• The image review feature only displays images from the current imaging session. In order to review images from previous sessions, you must access the files on your computer.
• Pressing the Capture Photo button while you are reviewing, WILL NOT capture an image, but it will place you back into live mode so that the next time you press the button, it WILL capture.

Creating Patient Folders

Each time you start a new imaging session, you can create a new folder to store the images from that session (this keeps the images captured during your new session separate from the ones captured in previous sessions). To create a new folder, simply press the New Patient button on the front panel.

Each time the New Patient button is pressed, a new folder will be created on the USB flash drive. The folders will be numbered sequentially (CASE.001, CASE.002, CASE.003, etc.).

Using the Menus
Settings and options for the MediCap USB170 can be accessed via the Menus.
Press the Menu button to display the Main menu. You can scroll through the menu choices using the Back and Next buttons on the front panel. Use the Select button to make a choice.

Important Note :
If the USB flash drive has no cases on it, a new patient folder will be created automatically the first time you press the Capture Photo or Capture Multi-Photo button. If there are already cases on the USB flash drive, you need to press the New Patient button to create a new folder.
Patient Information: If the “Patient Information” feature is turned on, each time a new folder is created the Patient Information screen will be displayed. This gives you the opportunity to enter the patient’s name, etc. See page 16 for more information.

Main Menu

To display the Main Menu, press the Menu button on the front panel. Then you can use the Next and Back buttons to navigate through the submenus. Use the Select button to make a choice.
The submenus to the Main Menu are:

• Network Setup: Only displayed if you have plugged a “network adapter” into the back panel (included with the Network Upgrade Kit available from MediCapture). Use this option to set the machine name, password, IP address, etc. For more information, see page 18

Transferring Images To Your Computer

1. Insert the USB flash drive containing captured images into a USB connector on your computer.
2. The computer will manage the flash drive just like any other drive on your computer. Navigate to the drive and open it so you can see the folders it contains.
3. You can now click on the images to review them while they are on the flash drive, or you can move them over to your computer’s hard drive and review and store them there (recommended).
   Note: Refer to Windows or Mac OS operating instructions for information on how to access drives on your computer and manage files.

Viewing and Editing Images
To view your still images in Windows or Mac OS, simply double-click on them and an easy-to-use viewer will open. You can also view and edit your still images using specialized medical image management programs available from many third-party vendors.
Recommended Viewing Software: Windows Picture Viewer or other viewers that recognize JPG, TIFF, and PNG images. For DICOM images, use a third-party DICOM viewer.

Other Features

Using a Footswitch
A standard footswitch connector is located on the back panel. Using a footswitch allows you to capture images “hands free.” The footswitch serves the same function as the Capture Photo button on the front panel. Note that the footswitch connector responds to a simple “closed contact.” In other words, if you have other types of switches that operate using a closed contact, you can also plug them into the footswitch connection and use them to trigger an image capture. For example, a “closed contact” timer could be used to capture images at regular intervals. Also, some endoscopic cameras have a simple “closed contact” trigger that can be used to capture images via the footswitch connector.

Deleting Images
While you are reviewing images, you can delete them from memory. To do so, press the Delete button on the front panel (hold down the Delete button for about 3 seconds). This will delete the image currently displayed on the monitor.

Anti-Blur Option
The Anti-Blur option is available in the Image Options menu (see page 14). Here are some simple guidelines on the best way to set this option:

• If you are capturing images of still objects and the camera is stationary, set Anti-Blur to Off. This will capture the most detail. Try this option first (it is the factory default).
• If you are capturing images of a moving object (for example, a beating heart) or if the camera is moving, you may find that your captured images are blurry or have “jaggy” edges. If this is the case, try setting Anti-Blur to On. This will reduce the blurry appearance of moving objects, but it also captures less detail.

Detailed Explanation of the Anti-Blur Option
To understand the Anti-Blur option, it is first necessary to understand video “fields.” When recording the objects it is pointed at, a video camera scans a series of horizontal lines. The beam makes two passes to record one complete image. On the first pass, only every other line of the image is scanned (the lines in between are left blank). Then on the second pass, the lines in between are filled in. Each pass is called a “field.” Therefore, two fields make up a complete image (which is called a “frame”).
The process of scanning fields on a video monitor happens so quickly that it is not discernible to the naked eye. However, when an image is captured and “frozen,” the fact that it is made up of two fields may become apparent, especially if a moving object is being captured (for example, a beating heart). If an object is moving fast enough, it will be in one position when the first field of an image is scanned and will be in another position when the next field of the image is scanned. When the two fields are combined (the technical term is “interlaced”) to create the captured image, the moving object will appear blurry or “jaggy” and the frozen image may flicker on the monitor. This effect can also occur if the camera is moving and the object is still.
To help reduce this type of blurring, you can select the “Anti-Blur” option. This causes only the first field of each image to be captured. The second field is discarded. Saving just one of the two fields that make up an image can help eliminate the blurry effect from moving objects, but it also decreases the resolution of the image since only half of the data for the image is being saved. Therefore, it is recommended that you normally set Anti- Blur to Off. Only set this option to On if it is necessary to eliminate a blurry effect from movement.

Patient Information Feature
This feature allows you to enter patient information at the start of each imaging session. The information can be included in the file names of images, and can be “stamped” on the images. The information is also stored in a text file in the same folder as the images. In addition, if you have selected the DICOM image format for your captured images (in the Image Options menu, page 14), the patient information will be stored in the DICOM header of each image.

Keyboard is Required for Entering Patient Information
Plug a USB keyboard into one of the USB connectors on the back panel. Keyboards from most manufacturers are compatible.

Setting Up the Patient Information Feature
To turn on this feature, press the Menu button on the front panel to display the Main Menu. Then select “Setup” and select “Patient Information”. The Patient Information Menu will be displayed. Set “Collect Patient Information” to “Yes.” Then set the following options:

• Add Info to File Names? – Allows you to specify what patient information, if any, will be automatically included in folder and file names. You can select:
  • None – No patient information will be included in folder and file names
  • Name – The patient’s name will be included
  • ID – The patient’s ID will be included
  • Name+ID – The patient’s name and ID will be included
• Add Info Stamp to Images? – Allows you to imprint patient information on each image. You can select None (no stamping), or Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left, or Lower Right (stamps the patient information in the selected area). The following information is stamped on the image: Patient First and Last Name, Sex, and ID. If you use this option, you may also want to consider using the Time Stamp option which can be accessed by going to Main Menu > Setup Menu > Date / Time.

Using the Patient Information Feature

After you turn on this feature, a Patient Information screen will be displayed at the start of each imaging session (each time you press the New Patient button or insert a flash drive). Use a USB keyboard plugged into the back of the unit to enter Patient First and Last Name, ID, Birth Date, and Sex. An “Other” field allows you to enter information such as the name of the attending physician. To move to the next field, use the Tab key on the keyboard. If you need to go to a previous field, simply tab several times and the cursor will go to the top of the screen (or you can use
Shift+Tab to back up).
When you finish entering information, press the Enter key on the keyboard. If you don’t want to enter any information, simply press the Enter key as soon as the Patient Information screen is displayed.

Accessing Patient Information
The Patient Information for each imaging session is stored in a text file in the same folder as the images (for example, 1_Patient_Info_John_Doe.txt). The information is also shown in an image of the Patient Information screen (for example, 2_Patient_Info_John_Doe.jpg). In addition, if you are capturing images in the DICOM format (as selected in the Image Options menu, page 14), you can view the patient information in the DICOM header of each image. To view the DICOM header on your computer, you will need third-party DICOM viewer software which is available from software vendors that specialize in medical imaging.

Using an External Hard Drive

You can plug an external hard drive into one of the USB connectors on the front or back panel of the USB170. A hard drive can provide increased storage capacity compared with a flash drive. Before purchasing an external hard drive, please note the following:

• The hard drive must use the “FAT32” format, not the “NTFS” format.
• Delete any software that came pre-loaded on the drive (it may be incompatible with the USB170).
• To protect your images, it is important to back them up by transferring them from the external hard drive to your computer or network.
• Only one copy of an image is recorded. In other words, if a hard drive is plugged into the back panel and then you plug a flash drive into the front, images will only be recorded to the hard drive. If want to record to the flash drive in the front, unplug the hard drive from the back and turn the USB170 off and back on.
• For more information, please see the document titled Using a Hard Drive with the MediCap USB200 or USB170 which is available in the Support section at medicapture.com.

Connecting to a Network

You can connect the USB170 to a network by using an adapter which is available from MediCapture. Making the network connection requires knowledge of computer networks. It is recommended that you contact a computer professional to make the connection.
When you connect the USB170 to your network, you can access the USB170 drive from any computer on the network. The USB170 drive will be displayed on your computer just like any other drive. You can then “drag and drop” recorded images from the USB170 drive across the network onto your computer’s drive. To connect the USB170 to a network, you will need the following:

• Network Upgrade Kit available from MediCapture. The kit includes a network adapter that plugs into the back of the USB170.
• A USB keyboard plugged into the back of the USB170 (needed to make entries in the Network Setup menu on the USB170). Keyboards from most manufacturers are compatible with the USB170.
• The document titled How to Connect the MediCap USB200 or USB170 to a Network which is available in the Support section at medicapture.com.
