What's new in Viso 11?

Allocate locations to departments

In Viso 11 we introduce the concept of departments. Your colleague who maintains the Viso set-up can assign locations to departments. Each location can be assigned to one department. The users (Administrators, Trainers and Trainees) that belong to a department can be linked to that Viso department. For instance, your school may have purchased a Viso system to train students in the field of nursing and students that study skin therapy. By assigning each student to one of the two departments he/she has access to the locations and sessions that belong to that department but not to the locations/sessions of the other department.

Group users

By defining groups you can easily assign identical rights to a number of users, for instance, the right to view a session live or the right to review it after it has been recorded. Groups can either be public or private.

Auto delete sessions

Your colleague who maintains the Viso set-up can set a time after which your sessions will be auto deleted. This is a GDPR/HIPAA requirement. You can secure sessions that you want to retain. These sessions will not be auto deleted.

Picture-by-picture view in Viso Web App

In Viso 10.7 you can view the cameras in a location simultaneously, in a picture-by picture view in the Viso Web App. In Viso 11 you can also view the videos of a session in a picture-by-picture view.

PTZ control in the Viso Web App

If your Viso set-up includes PTZ cameras you can now not only control them in the regular Viso software but also in the Viso Web App, including zooming in and out.

Transfer session ownership

Session owners can manage sessions (delete and rename sessions, etc.). You can give another user (for instance, your colleague) the right to manage your session.

Change session annotator

By default, the annotator is the person who recorded the session. This person can assign the role of annotator to a colleague or a student or reclaim the role of annotator.

Upgrading Viso easier

When your colleague who maintains the Viso set-up upgrades Viso from version 10.7 the Viso database is backed up automatically. The installation of Viso 11 consists of two steps, one step less than for older versions of the software.

Control Viso from The Observer XT or by using a programmable button

Session recording in Viso 11 can be started and stopped from The Observer XT, our tool for manual annotation and data integration. You can also use a programmable button to control Viso.

Secure RabbitMQ connection

Viso versions 11.0.8620 and higher allow the use of security certificates to secure RabbitMQ messages. RabbitMQ is a core item used in N-Linx, Noldus’ network communication protocol. It controls the message traffic between Viso Services, Viso Recorder and Viso Viewer. For information on how to set up a secure connection see ‘Install Viso Services with a secure connection.
