In such case for compression are used video compressors that by default are installed into Microsoft Windows operating system. Using [default] compressor, color images are saved using Microsoft Video 1 compressor (16 bits color depth), and grayscale images are saved using Microsoft RLE compressor (8 bits). + IMPORTANT. Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 (WMV9) compressor requires additional installation on client computer. + To "Menu->Tools->Options->Saving and Printing" added group "Video saving" with various video saving options. 1. "Video Quality" option allows to set desired quality of compressed video. Higher values mean better image quality and larger file size. Quality parameter affects only [default] compressor of color video (Microsoft Video 1). 2. If option "Save video using reduced color depth when possible" is turned on, then software will convert saved color video to 16 bits. This option affects only uncompressed video, because in other cases compressors use fixed output format. 3. If option "Save non-color video (B, M, PW) using grayscale format" is turned on, then software will save B, M, PW images with their scale lines, measurements and drawings using grayscale format (8 bits). This option allows to reduce the size of saved video file. If this option is turned on, as [default] compressor is used Microsoft RLE. If your preferred video saving method is "Uncompressed", then this option allows to reduce the size of video file about three times in comparison to uncompressed color video. If your preferred video saving method is "WMV9", then this option will reduce file size only by several percents in comparison to the size of color video file. NOTE. If opened video looks slightly different than during live scanning, it may mean that video was saved using lossy compression. Another possible reason is that some video cards have options for adjustment of displayed video (Video Overlay). Video Overlay options can be changed at "Display Settings". + Updated System Information utility. ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.96 Beta, 2007 August 10 ---------------------------------------- 2007.09.14 + Changed order of color Doppler Color maps and added new color map. + Added default presets for LS128 beamformer's probe C5.0/15/128. + Removed support of WMV9 video compression. 2007.09.12 + Various user interface performance improvements. + Optimized memory usage when saving video files. + Corrected Echo Blaster 128-2Z initialization and probes switching bug. + Corrected LS64/128 probe reconnection bug. + fixed bug with probe switching for EchoBlaster 128 2Z + Added default presets for LS64 ultrasound scanner. + By default turned on option, that after preset invocation must be automatically displayed controls of appropriate mode. + Implemented PW measurements/calculations/report for human General exam type. ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.95 Beta, 2007 August 02 ---------------------------------------- + fixed memory leak bug in cineloop saving ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.94 Beta, 2007 August 01 ---------------------------------------- + removed Microsoft MPEG-4 V2 video encoder support + added Microsoft Windows Media Video 9 encoder support + added default presets for EchoBlaster 64 device ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.93 Beta, 2007 July 31 ---------------------------------------- + Updated skins engine (current version - 2.7.2.0). + Added possibility to save compressed video files.

When preset is applied, this scanning mode is turned on. + To "Menu->Tools->Options->Scanning Control->General" added option "On startup: Restore last used scanning mode". If this option is turned on, scanning mode for connected probe is restored to the one that was used with this { [beamformer name + probe name], exam type } before disconnecting probe or before program shutdown. After restoring scanning mode is invoked unfreeze command in order to get live ultrasound image. + When ultrasound image contains no focusing points, in the left-bottom ultrasound image corner appears red marker (upside-down triangle). This marker indicates that the user should take some actions (increase scanning depth or decrease focusing depth) in order to achieve the best ultrasound image quality. + Changed M-line movement when B image is mirrored (changed scan direction) or rotated in order to make it independent from scan direction and rotation angle. When B image is mirrored or rotated, we use the following M line positioning: M-line control's button "<" moves M-line to screen's left or top. M-line control's button ">" moves M-line to screen's right or bottom. + Added skin "Sansara". ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.61 Beta, 2006 December 13 ---------------------------------------- * adjusted frequency settings for LS128 probes * fixed minor bugs ---------------------------------------- Echo Wave II 0.6 Beta, 2006 December 12 ---------------------------------------- + From now presets and initial settings are stored for { [beamformer name + probe name], exam type }. Previous software beta versions stored presets and initial settings for { probe name, exam type }. Beamformer name was added because different revisions of beamformers may have slightly different capabilities and use different settings. Note. Presets of previous software beta versions cannot be used by current software beta version. + Added possibility to define biopsy guidelines. In order to open biopsy controlbar, move mouse cursor to the right side of the screen, wait some time, an inside appeared toolbar press "Biopsy" button. This will open biopsy controlbar where you can define/edit biopsy guidelines and biopsy target. Side guidelines 1 and 2 are for biopsy needle. Central guideline C is for biopsy gun. If necessary, all 3 guidelines (1,C,2) can be used together. If is defined and visible biopsy target, also will be shown maximal distance from starting point(s) of visible guideline(s) to this target. This distance can help to determine what minimal needle length is required in order to reach the target. Please note that this distance depends on the accuracy of guidelines calibration. Also please note that calculations and defined biopsy guidelines do not take into account mechanical needle bending when it passes through the body. + Added multipage printing. If report or image data does not vertically fit to one page, printing is performed on multiple pages. + Added the following animal exam types: Animal (General), Ovine, Bovine, Equine, Llama, Goat.

Hot keys are defined in Menu->Tools->Options->Hot Keys. Navigation between measurement fields can be performed using hot keys or arrows Up/Down. If for navigation are used arrows, then field is activated using Enter. In order to select fields's measurement tool or fill field with data of already performed measurement can be used Left/Right arrows and Enter. + Added computer keyboard-based control of B, M, CD mode scanning parameters. Control of scanning parameters can be performed using hot keys and keyboard arrow buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right). Pages with controls of active controlbar (scanning, calculations) can be changed using Page Up / Page Down keys. Controlbars are activated using keyboard keys 1, 2, 3, ... functional keys F8, F9, and also using mouse and pressing buttons inside left, right, top, bottom toolbars. Hot keys are defined in Menu->Tools->Options->Hot Keys. + Updated Skins engine. + Added Image Preview feature to File Open dialog. + Menu->Tools->Options->Measurements and Calculations->Common Settings. added option that allows automatical transfer of last measured Heart Rate (using general measurements) to Heart Rate field of report. + Menu->Tools->Options->Measurements and Calculations->Common Settings. added option "Show field names near measurement result" that allows to see what measurement result to what report field was written. In order to be able to distinguish fields like (Width, Height, Length, Thickness), of different organs, were changed the names of such fields by adding first letters of organ name, Lt and Rt that indicate Left and Right, and replacing Width, Height, Length, Thickness with W, H, L, Th. + Added basic Cardiology measurements/calculations/report for Left Ventricle and Aortic Valve. + Left Ventricle volume (EdV, EsV) method is selected in options: Menu->Tools->Options->Calculations->Cardiology. + Updated Reference Manual (added Cardiology measurements/calculations) + To Cardiology measurement fields added hint images that show where measurement should be performed. + Added/modified body marks. + Added possibility to enter Heart Rate in patient information window. + Added possibility to change main menu type. Tools->Options->Appearance->Use vertical main menu. If is chosen vertical main menu type, then in the top toolbar appears button "Menu", and main menu is invoked by pressing this button.

Indication of software loading progress. + From now, Start button (at top toolbar) starts selected application only if it is not already started. If some application is already started, then we restore its window and bring to front. Applications are identified by the names of their executable files. Please note that mentioned feature will have no effect on "cmd.exe", "explorer.exe". + Added indication of active tool (at top toolbar): line, ellipse, M-line positioning tool, Color Doppler window positioning tool and others. Here "active tool" - tool that reacts to mouse clicks when we click on the ultrasound image. E.g., if is activated M-line positioning tool, then clicks on B-mode image change M-line position. If is activated line tool, then with mouse clicks we perform distance measurement or related measurement that uses lines as inputs. + Added protection of "Default" preset. In user mode presets with such name are protected from deleting. + Added check in order not allow users to save two presets with the same name for the same exam and probe. + Added option (Tools->Options->Technical) that enables/disables Software/Hardware service mode.
