Screen Capture and Recording
Screen capture and recording in Elucis allow you to document and export specific model views for use in presentations, educational materials, or quick visual references.
This guide covers how to record videos, take snapshots, and capture rotational image series from both the desktop and VR environments.
1. Navigate and Prepare Your Model
Before capturing:
Rotate the model using the right mouse button.
Zoom in/out using the scroll wheel.
Center the model by pressing both the scroll wheel and right mouse button simultaneously.
2. Adjust Screen Visualization
On the right-hand side of the screen, open the Screen Visualization Options tab.
Here, you can:
Show or hide the surface plane and image volume box.
Adjust and orient the light source.
3. Access the Content Recording Tools
Open the Content Recording tab to view the three available capture modes:
Start Video Recording
Screen Snapshot
Rotational Series
4. Record a Video
Press Start Video Recording.
A flashing “Recording” signal will appear at the top of the screen to indicate active recording.
Rotate and manipulate the model as needed using the mouse.
When finished, open the Content Recording tab and press Stop Video Recording.
A small zoom visualization near the Snapshots and Recordings button confirms the video has been saved to the project.
5. Capture a Still Image
Open the Content Recording tab.
Press Screen Snapshot.
The same zoom visualization confirms that the capture has been saved.
6. Review and Export Captures
Open the Snapshots and Recordings button on the left-hand side of the screen.
Click any thumbnail to open a review window where you can inspect and add annotations.
To export:
Click the top-left circle on each thumbnail you want to export, or press Select All.
Click Export Selected and choose a save location on your PC.
All captures and recordings remain stored within the project and can be accessed later.
7. Capture a Snapshot in VR
Open the Stylus Menu and press the Camera button.
A shutter screen will appear — grab and position it as desired.
On the surface plane, you can:
Adjust the field of view.
Show or hide the surface plane and image volume box.
Switch the background between white and black.
To capture the image, squeeze the index finger trigger on your dominant hand.
A shutter sound confirms the capture.
To review and export, return to the desktop and open the Snapshots and Recordings menu.
8. Capture a Rotational Series
Open the Content Recording tab and select Rotational Series.
Choose the export format — either PC image or DICOM files.
DICOM files can also be exported directly to an integrated PACS system.
Configure the rotational capture parameters:
Field of view
Centering
File format
Image resolution
Number of rotational steps
Series name (optional)
Preview the capture using the Preview button.
When satisfied, press Export to save the series to your PC or PACS system.
