Introduction The MediCap® USB200 allows you to easily capture digital medical images and video clips from virtually any analog medical imaging device that has standard BNC or S-Video output. To get started, connect your USB200 as shown on page 7 and then insert the included MediCapture USB flash drive into the front panel. Now you can use your medical imaging device as you normally do while capturing images and video clips with your USB200. To turn on the USB200, first turn on the Master Power Switch on the back panel and then press the Power button on the front panel. Capturing Still Images When you see an image on your monitor that you would like to capture, press the Capture Photo button. This will save a still image. You can continue pressing this button to save more images. Capturing Video Clips When you see a video stream on your monitor that you would like to capture, press the Capture Video button once to begin recording and then press the button again to stop recording.
Important Note: There is a very brief delay (0.06 second) between the time when the video signal enters the USB200 and when it is displayed on a monitor connected to the USB200. If this delay is not suitable for your medical environment, do not connect your monitor to the USB200. Instead, connect your monitor directly to your video source; then connect the USB200 to the secondary output on your video source or use a “Y-Splitter” (not included).
Quick Start: Review the front and back panels, and the connection diagrams on the following pages. Then refer to the “Quick Start Guide” on page 8. Important Note: If you do not see a video image on your monitor, use the Menu button to access the Main Menu. In the Setup Menu, make sure the NTSC and PAL settings are properly selected.
Note: The first time you turn on your new MediCap, you will need to set the clock. To do so, press the Menu button on the front panel, go to the Setup Menu, and select Date/Time. To ensure that the clock remains accurate, leave the Master Power Switch on the back panel in the ON position at all times. You can use the Power button on the front panel to turn the unit on and off during daily use without affecting the clock.

Connecting the MediCap USB200 To connect the MediCap USB200, see the diagram on page 7. The MediCap USB200 is easy to set up. It connects “in-line” between a monitor and a video source (for example, an ultrasound camera, surgical video camera, etc.) 1. If you are adding the USB200 to imaging equipment that you are already using, then begin by unplugging the existing video cable that connects the monitor and the video source. 2. Connect a cable between the “Video Out” on the video source and the “Video Input” on the back panel of the USB200. Then connect another cable between the “Video Out” on the USB200 and the “Video Input” on the monitor. 3. Plug in the power cord. 4. As an option, you may connect audio cables (not included) to the input and output of the USB200. Connect in the same manner as the video cables in Step 2 above. 5. You can also connect standard footswitches to the “Capture” connectors on the back panel. A footswitch connected to the “Still” connector performs the same function as the Capture Photo button on the front panel. The “Motion” connector performs the same function as the Capture Video button. Footswitches are available as an option at medicapture.com. Note: To make the video connections, you can use BNC or S-Video cables. If your camera or monitor uses RCA connectors, you will need to obtain a BNC-to-RCA adapter. (Some USB200 models ship with this adapter.)
Inserting a USB Flash Drive Before you begin using your USB200, insert the supplied MediCapture brand USB flash drive in the USB connector on the front panel.
MediCapture brand flash drives come in a variety of models. The flash drive supplied with your USB200 may not look the same as the one in the above illustration, but it will function in the same way. MediCapture brand USB flash drives are recommended because they have been tested for compatibility with the USB200. You may use other brand name USB flash drives. However, please note that compatibility is not guaranteed for non-MediCapture brand flash drives.
Capturing Images Capturing images with your USB200 is simple. When you see an image on your monitor that you would like to capture, simply press the Capture Photo button on the front panel. The image will be saved directly to the inserted USB flash drive (later, you can transfer your images from the USB flash drive to your computer).

Volume Menu The Volume Menu allows you to set the system volume (this affects the internal speaker and the audio output to an external speaker). When using an external speaker, it is recommended that you leave this setting at a medium volume and use the volume controls on the external speaker to adjust the volume levels. When troubleshooting audio issues, please note the following: • Live audio will be output during video recording, but will be mute while reviewing recorded videos on the USB200. To review audio, transfer the recorded video to a computer and play the video there. • The Audio Input jack on the USB200 is designed to be connected to a microphone (not included) or the audio output on a medical device (for example, an ultrasound). • The Audio Output jack on the USB200 is designed to be connected to an external powered speaker (not included) or the audio input on a medical device (for example, an ultrasound). (Note: A powered speaker contains its own amplifier that is powered via batteries or an electrical outlet.) • Audio recording is always active. To record audio you can simply connect an audio source as shown on page 7. If you will not be recording audio, do not connect an audio source. • The audio recording format is shown in the “Specifications” section on page 19. • Adapters (not included) may be required to connect with the Audio Input and Output jacks. • If the audio on the external speaker is distorted, try lowering the volume level in the Volume Menu and increasing the volume level using the volume control on the external speaker. • If the audio on the external speaker is too low (even when the volume control on the external speaker is set to full volume), try increasing the volume level in the Volume Menu. When increasing the volume levels in this menu, do so in small increments and test the effect on the external speaker. Excessively high volume levels in this menu may cause problems with some models of external speakers.
Transferring Images to Your Computer 1. Insert the USB flash drive containing captured images into a USB connector on your computer. 2. The computer will manage the flash drive just like any other drive on your computer. Navigate to the drive and open it so you can see the folders it contains. 3. You can now click on the images and videos to review them while they are on the flash drive, or you can move them to your computer's hard drive and review and store them there (recommended). Note: Refer to Windows or Mac OS documentation for information on how to access drives on your computer and manage files.
Viewing Still Images on Your Computer You can easily view the recorded images that you have transferred to your computer. Windows and Mac computers provide built-in viewing software that will open automatically when you double-click on an image file. You can also view and edit your still images using specialized medical image management programs available from many third-party vendors.
Viewing Videos on Your Computer The USB200 records video in H.264 format, sometimes referred to as MPEG-4 or MP4. This widely used format is ideally suited to medical applications because it delivers the highest quality picture in a compact file size. Most Windows and Mac computers provide built-in viewing software that will open automatically when you double-click on an H.264 video file. However some older computers may need additional codecs to play H.264 videos. If your videos will not play, search the internet for an H.264 codec and install it on your computer.

Other Features Using a Footswitch Standard footswitch connectors are located on the back panel. Using a footswitch will allow you to capture images and video clips “hands free.” The two footswitches serve the same function as the corresponding Capture Photo and Capture Video buttons on the front panel. Note that the footswitch connector responds to a simple “closed contact.” In other words, if you have other types of switches that operate using a closed contact, you can also plug them into the footswitch connection and use them to trigger an image capture. For example, a “closed contact” timer could be used to capture images at regular intervals. Also, some endoscopic cameras have a simple “closed contact” trigger that can be used to capture images via the footswitch connector.
Deleting Images While reviewing the current patient session on the USB200, you can delete unwanted video and images. To do so, when you see a video or image you want to delete, press the Delete button on the front panel and follow the prompts. To delete images from earlier patient sessions, transfer the images to your computer and delete them there.
Patient Information Feature This feature allows you to enter patient information at the start of each imaging session. The information can be included in the file names of still images and video clips. The information is also stored in a text file in the same folder as the images and videos. To use this feature, a USB keyboard must be plugged into the back of the USB200. Keyboards from most manufacturers are compatible.
Setting Up the Patient Information Feature To turn on this feature, press the Menu button on the front panel to display the Main Menu. Then select “Setup” and select “Patient Information.” The Patient Information Menu will be displayed. Set “Collect Patient Information” to “Yes.” Then set the following options: • Info in File Names - Allows you to specify what patient information, if any, will be automatically included in folder and file names. You can select: o None - No patient information will be included in folder and file names o Name - The patient’s name will be included o ID - The patient’s ID will be included o Name+ID - The patient’s name and ID will be included • Patient Stamp - Allows you to imprint the following patient information on images and videos: Patient Last and First Name, Gender, and ID. If you use this option, you may also want to consider using the Time Stamp option which can be accessed by going to Main Menu > Setup Menu > Date / Time. • Stamp Position - You can select Upper Left, Upper Right, Lower Left, or Lower Right.
Using the Patient Information Feature After you turn on this feature, a Patient Information screen will be displayed at the start of each imaging session (each time you press the New Patient button or insert a flash drive). Plug a USB keyboard (not supplied) into the back of the unit and use it to enter Patient Last and First Name, ID, Birth Date, and Gender. An “Other” field allows you to enter information such as the name of the attending physician. To move to the next field, use the Tab key on the keyboard. If you need to go to a previous field, simply tab several times and the cursor will go to the top of the screen (or you can use Shift+Tab to back up).

USB200H-UG01-EN-140120-MC
MediCap® USB200 User Guide – English When you finish entering information, press the Enter key on the keyboard. If you don’t want to enter any information, simply press the Enter key as soon as the Patient Information screen is displayed.
Accessing Patient Information Patient Information for each imaging session is stored in a text file named Patient_Info.txt in the same folder as the images. Note that this file will exist even when the Patient Information feature is not being used. This is because the file is also used to store information about the USB200 for troubleshooting purposes (serial number, etc.). In addition, some image formats store patient information in the image header (image formats are selected in the Image Options Menu, page 13): • JPG and TIFF – Patient information is stored in the “Description” field of the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) header. This standard image header is widely used by camera manufacturers. To read the header, you will need third-party EXIF viewing software on your computer. Also note that some image editing programs have been found to damage EXIF headers; check the specifications of your image editing software for EXIF compatibility. • DICOM – Patient information is stored in the appropriate fields of the DICOM header. Only experienced DICOM users should select this format; it requires third-party DICOM viewing software on your computer.
Using an External Hard Drive You can plug an external hard drive into one of the USB connectors on the front or back panel of the USB200. A hard drive can provide increased storage capacity compared with a flash drive. A typical hard drive can store hundreds of hours of video. Before purchasing an external hard drive, please note the following: • The hard drive must use the “FAT32” format, not the “NTFS” format. • Delete any software that came pre-loaded on the drive (it may be incompatible with the USB200). • To protect your videos and images, it is important to back them up by transferring them from the external hard drive to your computer or network. • Only one copy of an image or video is recorded. In other words, if a hard drive is plugged into the back panel and then you plug a flash drive into the front, videos and images will only be recorded to the hard drive.

MediCap® USB200 User Guide – English
Connecting to a Network You can connect the USB200 to a network by using an adapter which is available from MediCapture. Making the connection requires knowledge of computer networks. It is recommended that you contact a computer professional to make the connection. When you connect the USB200 to your network, you can access the USB drive connected to the USB200 from any computer on the network. The USB200’s USB drive will be displayed on your computer just like any other drive. You can then “drag and drop” recorded videos and images from the USB200’s USB drive onto your computer’s drive. To connect the USB200 to your network, you will need the following: • Network Upgrade Kit available from MediCapture. The kit includes a network adapter that plugs into the back of the USB200. • A USB keyboard plugged into the back of the USB200 (needed to make entries in the Network Setup menu on the USB200). USB keyboards from most manufacturers are compatible with the USB200. • The document titled USB200 Networking Guide which is available in the Support section at medicapture.com.
