In this example, I’ll configure IOC Snapshot to support two different intraoral cameras: the Perfect Cam and the Woodpecker Camera. The Blue Camera button will be assigned to the Perfect Cam, while the Green Camera button will be assigned to the Woodpecker Camera. This setup is ideal for computers with two different intraoral cameras, allowing users to easily switch between them by selecting the corresponding camera button in IOC Snapshot.

1. Install the IOC Snapshot software. If you need a link for the download, it is:

https://iocsnapshot.com/IOC_Snapshot.exe

At the end of the installer you will see this window with checkmark boxes as options. Checkmark the Green camera as the Blue Camera will already be checkmarked.

Enter in the license key when you see this window. If you would like to use a trial key, this one is good for 2 weeks.

2. Now we are going to configure the Blue and Green Cameras. They have icons in the system tray. Each program needs to be told what camera you are using and what program you are using.

Right click the Blue Camera and go to Select Camera and I will choose PERFECT CAM. Right click the Blue camera again and select Apteryx.

Repeat this for the Green Camera except choose the WOODPECKER KP CAMERA.

Now both the Blue and Green camera have been configured.

3. Configure the Virtual Camera. Right click either the Blue or Green Camera, go to Options and click Virtual Camera Settings. Set the Virtual Camera Maximum Height to 1200. Checkmark the box that says Always Force Default Color. This will ensure that you can switch between the 2 different physical cameras and Apteryx won’t set the color based on the previous camera that was present. Click OK to save the settings.

4. Open Apteryx and select a patient. Click the Capture Video Button. In the DirectVideo button select Virtual Camera, not the actual camera. Apteryx has a bug when maximizing video and keeping the frame rate high, the Virtual Camera will fix that.

5. Take pictures with the camera’s physical capture button. Click Done when finished.
