Connecting your computer to the ultrasound system

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 ..)

For information on the availability and the standard of the video output, please contact the manufacturer of the ultrasound system.
