In order to have real-time analysis, the computer must be connected to the video output of the ultrasound receive in real-time the images generated by the ultrasound imaging device.

For standard ultrasound devices,  For standard ultrasound devices, a video converter is used that connects the computer with must be connected to the video output of the medical ultrasound device for real-time analysis.For a few specific ultrasound devices (see IFU), a USB or WiFi direct connection between the ultrasound device and the computer is used for real-time analysisby using a video capture device. For some specific ultrasound device, the video capture device is not needed and these devices are directly connected to the computer by USB or by WiFi.





You need a video capture device to connect the computer with the ultrasound system and perform real-time analysis. Quipu recommends two USB devices: the Epiphan AV.io HD or the Magewell USB Capture AIO.

If your ultrasound machine has a VGA/DVI/HDMI output (see next figure for reference), you can directly connect your ultrasound machine to the computer by using either the Epiphan AV.io HD  or the Magewell USB Capture AIO  video capture device. (See more...)




If your ultrasound machine has a "legacy" video standard (S-Video or C-Video) output (see next figure for reference), you can directly connect your ultrasound machine to the computer by using the Magewell USB Capture AIO. If you want to use the Epiphan AV.io HD, you must first convert the video output to VGA, and then to acquire the VGA by the Epiphan AV.io HD. For the first video conversion, you can use any high-quality S-Video to VGA or C-Video to VGA converter. We suggest using the StarTech Video to VGA Converter v4.3 (See more ..)
