System Requirements

• The hardware to create the system is easy! Most laptops have an external video port that will support the chart monitor your patients view. So, simply, add a cable and lcd monitor to your laptop and you are ready to go. Some desktop computers also support two monitors. If yours does not a basic video card can be added to your system. Or run our software in single monitor mode using hotkeys or our inexpensive remote control (see details below).
• Computer with video adapter capable of extending the desktop to a secondary monitor. Many laptops and tablets have this feature built in. A desktop with dual monitor video card will work as well. To check if your computer or a computer you are considering is capable, click here for instructions for checking the display options. Note: single monitor computers are now supported (See FAQ for details).

• Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 or 7 (Please let us know if you desire to run on other platforms with enough demand we are willing to provide products on other browsers and/or operating systems). Software has been installed and tested on Microsoft Windows XP and Vista.

• A flat screen LCD monitor with minimum 96x96 dots per inch. (17 inch 1280 x 1024 minimum recommended). See our frequently asked questions for the answer to: Is a bigger monitor better?

• A high quality video cable to extend from computer to wall mounted.
