Abstract:
A method for sending image frame data from an imaging system to multiple remote devices, comprising the steps of:mapping first and second object constructing tasks to an input device on an operator interface of said imaging system: acquiring a frame of image data; moving said input device from a first position to a second position; causing said first object constructing task to construct a first data object incorporating said frame of image data in response to said moving step, said first data object being constructed in a format compatible with a first remote device; causing said second object constructing task to construct a second data object incorporating said frame of image data in response to said moving step, said second data object being constructed in a format compatible with a second remote device, said second data object being different than said first data object; sending said first data object to said first remote device via a network; and sending said second data object to said second remote device via said network.
