_~ÅâÖêçìåÇ= When images are sent to Virtua E, a trigger is needed for Virtua E to determine that all images for an auto-record job have been received. This is normally done with an end-of-study timeout set to 30 seconds, which requires a 30-second delay from the end of transmission to the start of the recording process.
Page 119
For some systems (typically with fast networks), this setting can be reduced to as low as 10 seconds. For other systems, the end of the DICOM association can be used as the trigger to eliminate this delay altogether. 016' 5KPEG CNN QH VJG UGVVKPIU FGUETKDGF JGTG CTG KP ,QD 2TQHKNGU VJG[ ECP DG EQPHKIWTGF QP C RGTJQUV DCUKU 6JCV KU FKHHGTGPV RTQHKNGU ECP DG UGV WR CPF QRVKOK\GF HQT GCEJ UGPFKPI JQUV 016' 1RVKOK\KPI VJG CWVQTGEQTF VTKIIGT KU KORQTVCPV QPN[ HQT CRRNKECVKQPU WUKPI VJG...

oÉÅçêÇáåÖ=~åÇ=i~ÄÉäáåÖ= ~ aáëÅ gçÄë This chapter discusses jobs and how to use them to record and label discs. Jobs control what data is recorded onto discs and how many discs are created. A job always contains at least one study and includes other information necessary to record and label the disc.

Virtua E supports preinstalled and site-specific customized disc labels on which site and study information is printed. Job Profiles specify which label to use for a recording job. For jobs that are manually submitted for recording, the label specified in the Job Profile can be overridden using the Job Options function.
Page 166
The purpose of label design families is to maximize the amount of graphical content on the label used for promotional purposes. As the number of studies recorded on a disc increases, Virtua E can automatically choose a label in the same design family that allows more studies to be listed on the label.
Page 167
Virtua E supports specifying different labels based on the disc copy type — physician, patient, anonymous, or legal. This allows a site to use the Ink Saver label for in-house physicians but a more attractive label for patients.

The printed labels have study blocks reserved for printing study information. Each study block of the standard labels that are provided with Virtua E has either three or four fields available for information, depending on the template. Custom labels can include up to five fields.

For standard labels, the following rules determine how many fields each study will have on the disc label: If the label is for discs that will have three studies or less, four study information fields can be included. If the label is for discs that will have four to ten studies, three fields can be included.
