Version 19.3.1

What's new in this release?

  • Enhanced Far End Camera Control (FECC) capability
  • In this version, we enhanced the pan and tilt of the FECC functionality so the Camera Controller can now move the camera quickly and continuously rather than only with small incremental nudges.
  • This enhancement allows any users, including those in healthcare or education, to smoothly and precisely move the remote camera to specific areas of the remote room to obtain a better view of patients, educational materials, and so on.
  • For example, acute healthcare nurses and other professionals in an eICU can now use FECC to quickly and smoothly pan and tilt the camera to view the vitals monitor, medication drip, the patient's face, vent, or any other area of the patient's room.
  • This version only enhances the pan and tilt capabilities.  A future release will improve the zoom-in and zoom-out experience.
  • Requirements: To use the new smooth adjustment FECC capability, both the Camera Controller and the Camera Owner must use version 19.3.1 or later of the VidyoConnect desktop application.
  • Using the Smooth FECC Capability:
  • Click the FECC Control Panel to pan, tilt, and zoom as defined by the camera.
  • For quicker and smoother camera control, click and hold the up, down, left, and right directional arrows from within the FECC Control Panel.
  • To make small moves or fine adjustments (e.g., nudges) with the camera position, click and release the up, down, left, and right directional arrows from within the FECC Control Panel.
  • To zoom in, hold the + button and to zoom out hold the - button. Additionally, you can use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out: (e.g., Windows: Ctrl + "+" or “-“ and Mac: Command + "+" or “-“).
  • For more information about the new smooth FECC capability including the list of  Supported Cameras, refer to the Using the VidyoConnect Far End Camera Control (FECC) Capability for Desktop and Mobile article.
  • Polish language support for VidyoConnect desktop application
  • If you speak Polish, you can now enjoy viewing the VidyoConnect desktop application in the Polish language.
  • Bug fixes
  • In this release, we've addressed some issues to improve usability and reliability.
  • System updates
  • For added security and stability, updates for multiple third-party packages and libraries are included as part of this release.
