Abstract: A method to optimize and prioritize video routing operations in conjunction with multiple integrated device controls in an integrated operating room system is presented. The method comprises initializing a routing having a source and a destination for routable devices, displaying the routing and a device menu including routable and non-routable devices, requesting a change in the devices, and for each of the devices for which a change is requested, opening a device control window for the device using the device menu, changing the device according to the change request, and closing the device control window, wherein for every device for which a change is requested, when the device control window is opened, all other devices remain accessible. In one embodiment, displaying is performed using a touch screen. In one embodiment, when a change is requested for a routable device, a small video preview window replaces the normal video preview window.

Abstract: A device, having a case body and case lid, for use with a remote visual inspection system. The case body is adapted to accommodate a light source for providing light to the remote visual inspection system. The case lid is adapted to cover the case body, and to accommodate a video display monitor for displaying an image captured by the remote visual inspection system.

Abstract: A method and device for displaying information from multiple sources, in a way that permits rapid assimilation and interpretation of the information. The information may originate from the inspection, e.g., via a remote visual inspection system, of a work piece. The method and device processes (i) frames of video data, each frame including data corresponding to an array of pixels, including video of a sensor, and (ii) data output by the sensor by (a) locating the sensor in one of the frames of video data to define an anchor location, (b) accepting the data output by the sensor, (c) converting the data output by the sensor to either a numeric value or a graphical representation, and (d) in the one of the frames, modifying pixels data in a vicinity of the anchor location based on the numeric value or graphical representation to form a modified frame.
