Ovo Logger Implementation Schematics
In a Fixed UX Lab,
Ovo Logger runs on a dedicated Windows 10 workstation that is usually located in the Control Room. The Ovo Logger PC in the Control Room is fed A/V signals by the Audio/Video Hub. With this architecture, you can send any video input (e.g., camera, participant computer video) to Ovo Logger to be recorded. Visit the Ovo Fixed UX Labs page for Fixed UX Lab details.
In a UX Lab, Ovo Logger typically runs on a PC in the Control Room.
In a Portable UX Lab,
Ovo Logger runs on a dedicated Windows 10 laptop. The Ovo Logger PC has two USB devices connected to it, e.g., a USB webcam and a capture device that accepts the HDMI output from the Participant Computer. Visit the Ovo Portable UX Labs page for Portable UX Lab details.
