In this example, I’ll configure IOC Snapshot to support two different intraoral cameras: the Perfect Cam and the DexCam 4 HD Camera. The Blue Camera button will be assigned to the Virtual 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. The Virtual Camera itself will detect the capture button presses.

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

Click Finish, you don’t need to checkmark these boxes with this setup.

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. After the installation, you will see the Blue camera icon in your system tray. Right-click it and select Eaglesoft.

Now the Blue camera needs to be told what camera it will be using. Right click the Blue camera and go to Select Camera and select VIRTUAL CAMERA.

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 Eaglesoft won’t set the color based on the previous camera that was present. Click OK to save the settings.

Steps 4 through 5 is no longer required on newer versions of IOC Snapshot, but leaving it here anyways.

4. Run Eaglesoft and go to File and then Preferences.

5. Click on the X-Ray Tab, then hit the Video button. The Video Capture Properties window will pop up. Change the Capture Card drop down menu to say Standard Windows Driver Model Device. Then change the Default Device drop down menu to Virtual Camera. Click Save and then click the OK button on the Preferences window.

If you see this window, just click OK, you don’t have to restart Eaglesoft for this setting change to go into affect.

6. Click on the Intraoral Camera to the right of the Red Chair, I have drawn a square box around it. This brings up the Intraoral Camera for Eaglesoft. If it asks you to select a patient, go ahead and chose a patient from the list.

7. Click the Setup button to configure the camera. Click the Default button at the bottom to reset the image settings. If you cannot see a live camera image, this is due to Eaglesoft using VMR7 and Video card issues, not the camera itself. Uncheck the Use Video Mixing Renderer checkbox.

8. Now it is time to take some images! Use the capture button on your camera to take images, and every time you do, the Number will increase incrementally, letting you know that Eaglesoft has taken the image. Close the window when you are finished taking images and the images will be in Eaglesoft.
