  • Publication number: 20260100991
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically determining correspondences between communication ports of a networked device and encoders and decoders connected to those communication ports. In some embodiments, the networked device and the encoders and decoders are connected to a video communications network provided by a switch. The networked device can query the video communications network for information related to the encoders and decoders to determine and save the port-to-device correspondences. In some embodiments, the networked device can extract device information from video signals received at its input ports to map the input ports to respectively connected decoders. In similar fashion, the networked device may transmit or embed port-specific information from its output ports to respectively connected encoders. Then, the networked device can query the video communications network for the port-specific information received at the encoders to map the output ports to respectively connected encoders.

  • Patent number: 12514675
    Abstract: A surgical image capture and display system includes a handheld image capture and pointing device and a display assembly. An image is captured by an image sensor of the handheld device and displayed on the display assembly. The image sensor detects light emitted by one or more beacons of the display assembly. The system determines, based on the light emitted by the one or more beacons, a position or orientation of the handheld device relative to the display assembly. The system updates display of a graphical user interface comprising the image on the display assembly in accordance with the determined position or orientation of the handheld device.

  • Publication number: 20230351606
    Abstract: A system for displaying medical imaging data comprising one or more data inputs, one or more processors, and one or more displays, wherein the one or more data inputs are configured for receiving first image data generated by a first medical imaging device, wherein the first image data comprises a field of view (FOV) portion and a non-FOV portion, and the one or more processors are configured for identifying the non-FOV portion of the first image data and generating cropped first image data by removing at least a portion of the non-FOV portion of the first image data, and transmitting the cropped first image data for display in a first portion of the display and additional information for display in a second portion of the display.
