Apteryx Capture Button Not Working? Check the Still Pin

· Dental TI

Another common Apteryx support call we receive from offices stems from a situation where the capture button on their camera doesn’t seem to work. They have a live video stream, but nothing captures when they press the button. For most intraoral cameras, the solution is very simple: make sure the camera is set to capture from the still pin.

Here’s how:

DirectVideo software with the Video Options menu open and "Still Pin And Other Video Sizes..." highlighted, behind a live intraoral camera view of a molar.

DirectVideo's "Still Pin Capture And Video Sizes" dialog, with "I want to capture video from the still pin" selected at 1920x1080 above the standard video stream capture option.

Once you have ensured the Still Pin is selected, and you have the proper resolution set, simply hit “OK”, and you are ready to capture. If you are a client and are having difficulty, don’t hesitate to contact us for support.
