To enable transition to remote SBRT coverage in the setting of a global pandemic requiring physical distancing between persons, a commercial grade frame grabber (DVI2USB 3.0, Epiphan Video, Palo Alto, CA) capable of capturing screen resolutions of 1900x1200 at 60fps was connected to the digital video interface (DVI) port on the treatment console through a DVI cord splitter, grabbing the entire display screen from the imaging (treatment console) computer on the Edge. This was then projected into a secondary computer via a USB cable connection between the frame grabber and secondary computer.
