version of the DICOM images in the
study.
◆ DVD+R. Virtua now supports DVD+R discs for
recording media.

all Virtua drives across a network. This permits a user to
utilize a virus scanning software to inspect and alert the
user of any suspected viruses on Virtua drives.
◆ Segmentation Storage DICOM Objects. Virtua now
supports Segmentation Storage DICOM Objects.
◆ Added VNC (Virtual Network Computing) support to
Virtua, which allows administrators to remotely
connect to a unit within hospital networks or with VPN
connections. TightVNC is deployed with the software
installation and is set as an automatic startup Windows
®
service. The VNC full-control password is automatically
set in synch with the unit’s administrative account
password.
The following parameters can be configured in the
profiles\network\network.default.txt profile:
Parameter: vncFirewallPortOpen_
Settings: True | False
Default: True
Description: When set to True, VNC is enabled.
Parameter: firewallEnabled
Settings: True | False
Default: False
Description: When set to False, the firewall is disabled.
CAUTION: Version 4.1.0 software is intended for use on
all Virtua systems except for the Virtua-1 model. Version
4.0.0 software will not install on the Virtua-1 model
(controller serial numbers beginning with 70C).
CAUTION: A full install is required when upgrading a
standard Virtua system running 4.0.1 or previous
software, during which all patient studies will be
removed. Virtua XR/E/C will not require a full install to
upgrade from previous software.
CAUTION: Newer Virtua systems, which utilize a
separate print head and individual ink cartridges for each
color, require Version 4.0.0 software or later to function
properly. These systems can be identified by the first
three characters in the serial number of the Recorder, 83C .
NOTE: VNC server settings configured on a unit will
not be retained across software installations. Only the
full-control password will be reset to synchronize with
the current administrative account password.
