A system for transmission of imaging metadata comprises a sensor configured to capture audiovisual data and a data transmission device. The data transmission device receives captured audiovisual data from the first sensor and receives metadata, wherein the metadata is metadata of a first type. The data transmission device generates a data structure corresponding to a first frame of a video feed, wherein the data structure is generated in accordance with a predefined data specification, wherein generating the data structure comprises setting an indicator in the data structure to indicate that a second type of metadata should not be read from a first field in the data structure and writing the first metadata to the first field in the data structure. The data transmission device transmits the data structure along with the captured audiovisual data.

Systems and methods for efficient transmission of imaging metadata

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.

Automatic correspondence of encoders and decoders to video ports

Presented herein are systems and methods for dynamically updating and rendering graphical user interfaces at a surgical hub device that is configured to simultaneously coordinate the operation of multiple medical devices connected to the hub. According to an aspect, when a device is connected to the hub, the device can send identifying information to the hub so that the hub can ascertain the identity of the device. Based on the identification data, the hub can access an internal graphical user interface (GUI) database to determine if there are any entries in the database that correspond to the device that is now connected to the hub. If it is determined that the internal GUI database of the hub contains one or more GUIs associated with the device, then the GUI database can transmit the corresponding to GUIs to the electronic display for rendering at the appropriate times.

Systems and methods for generating dynamic graphical user interfaces for monitoring and controlling connected devices

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.

Systems and methods for capturing, displaying, and manipulating medical images and videos

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.

Systems and methods for displaying medical imaging data

An endoscopic system including an endoscope, a light source for the endoscope and at least one image sensor for capturing a plurality of images of a body cavity. The light source is configured to emit light from the endoscope and into the body cavity such that the light is reflected off of a plurality of locations in the body cavity. The system also includes a control system for controlling both the light source and the at least one image sensor to vary parameters of the light source and the at least one image sensor such that the plurality of images have underexposed and overexposed regions. The endoscopic system could alternatively include a variable-attenuator element device adjacent the image sensor and configured to be located between the body cavity and the image sensor for capturing a single clear image with the image sensor.
