What's New in Viso 11?

Allocate Locations to Departments

Viso 11 allows you to 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 associated with 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 or she has access to the locations and sessions that belong to that department but not to the locations or 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

You can set a time after which your sessions should be auto deleted. This feature assists you to comply with GDPR/HIPAA requirements. 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 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 Pan Tilt Zoom (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 and Technicians can manage sessions (delete and rename sessions, etc.). You can give another user, for instance a 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 Made Easier

When you upgrade Viso from version 10.7, the Viso database is backed up automatically. The installation of Viso 11 consists of two steps, one step fewer than for older versions of the software.

Control Viso from The Observer XT or by Using a Programmable Button

Session recording in Viso 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.

What's New in Viso 12?

Software Based Licensing Fully Integrated in Viso

You can activate or deactivate your software license from the Viso application directly.

Highlight Videos

In the Annotation module, you can now create highlight videos which summarise the most interesting point events of your sessions, to be used for example in presentations or lectures. You may add your markers and remarks as subtitles to these highlight videos.

The Right to Manage Recording Options Moved to Technicians

Those with a Technician account can now enable multiple location recording, including composite and separate sessions.

Allocate Groups to Departments

When creating groups, the department to which the group belongs can now also be specified.

Data Transparency Policy

When a new user logs in, a pop-up window will appear informing the user about Noldus's Data Transparency Policy.
