quick and easy

• Enhanced image transfer.

• Improved workflow during multiple image acquisition.

• Easy configuration.

• Broad compatibility with third party software.

• Wide range of Bluetooth receivers.

exceptional image quality

Regardless of the imaging application in use, thanks to the proprietary PREVIEW window, with image enhancements.

workflow speed

Fast image transfer (average 5 to 10 seconds) and very short pause between multiple image acquisitions.

The speed is comparable to wired systems, with the additional freedom of a wireless handheld device.

ease of setup

Search and selection of sensors in use is done only once, at installation time, through the MyRay Monitor utility.

No need for further settings during the day by day operation.

broad selection of receivers

WDS is compatible with any* Bluetooth receiver, embedded or external.

*Note: the performance with third party Bluetooth receivers cannot be granted, due to the great variety of manufacturers and models. Make sure you chose a Bluetooth receiver that features BROADCOM-WIDECOMM components (the most widespread). Some of the off-the-shelf receivers may also perform slower than the MyRay Bluetooth Dongle.

One MyRay Bluetooth Dongle is also supplied.
