Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the new qubeAVpro LAN light.
With the current interest in optimizing training in team communication and medical
procedures, the use of audio-video systems has become a hugely popular part of
regular training.
You can use your debriefing system to analyze your training scenarios from all angles.
The high-quality qubeAV software allows you to record these training scenarios for later
debriefing.
The qubeAV software lets you record a patient monitor, which makes it easy for you to
integrate systems from the qubeSERIES into the qubeAVpro LAN light system in a
simulation scenario.
Markers let the instructor mark important scenarios in the simulation at any time to
ensure even quicker access to important analyzes during the debriefing.
Sustainable quality management
The SKILLQUBE “Mission360” relies upon holistic solutions for simulations and training
in preclinical and clinical patient care. For SKILLQUBE, “Mission360” means sustainably
supporting every area of learning through providing significant input.
Its scope encompasses simple knowledge transfers,
teaching new skills, training people to make the right
decisions, team simulations and training sessions,
conveying preclinical and clinical experiences and
everything in between.
With the qubeAVpro LAN light audio-video system,
SKILLQUBE has revolutionized the analysis and debriefing
of simulation scenarios.
This manual provides you not only with the operating instructions but also with an
abundance of information about working with the qubeAV software. To ensure that you
enjoy using your qubeAVpro LAN light system for a long time to come, please take time
to carefully read through the instructions and safety information below.

Activating the license key
The qubeAVpro LAN light debriefing system that you receive is usually already fully set
up. If this is the case, you can skip this point. If a license key has not been entered yet,
proceed as follows:
1. Open the installed qubeAV application in the dock.
2. After opening the application, you land on the start screen. To activate the
license, press the “Open Settings” button.

3. Open the lock in the bottom left corner. You can then enter the license key that
was sent to you.
4. The application starts itself up. You do not have to provide any confirmation after
entering the correct license key. After entering the key, close the lock in the
bottom left corner and then choose “Close”.

Using the qubeAV application
Connecting and setting up audio/video
1. Open the installed qubeAV application in the dock.
2. If no cameras are found after you open the software, you can go directly to the
settings to configure them. If you just want to load a file to view it, you can skip
this step.

10
3. Use the shortcut !"!+ or go to “qubeAV” and then “Settings” in the menu bar at
the top to open the settings.
4. Press “+” in the bottom left corner to open the connected cameras. All the
available devices are displayed for you. If you are using a qube patient monitor,
you can also integrate it into the system here. The monitor is listed by name if it
is on the same network as your debriefing system and has been started.
5. Once you have clicked the desired camera to select it, it appears in your list.
Repeat this step to connect any remaining video sources.

11
6. You can now select the device that you want to provide you with the audio signal
under “Audio Devices” in the menu. Press “+” in the bottom left corner to display
all the available devices.
7. Create a background noise in the simulation room to check that the microphone
is working. If the microphone works, the bars in R and L move out.

12
8. Once you finish configuring the settings, press the “Close” button.

13
Integrating an external medium
Proceed as you did when setting up the cameras.

2. Video sources
3. Press “+” in the bottom left corner.
Then select the source “HDMI to U3 capture”.
You can then add this source to the tile view and access it there.
Important: Only connect the external medium if a signal is present on the HDMI input
(“HMDI in”).
Setting preroll
Preroll is a way to control the time at which a marker is set. If you do not use preroll, the
marker is set at exactly the time of the click. As a result, however, the marker may not
be positioned at the beginning of the relevant situation, but a little later. To compensate
for our reaction and response times, you can go to the “Preroll” submenu and configure
the marker so that it is automatically set a few seconds before the click.
To open the “Preroll” submenu, proceed as follows:
1. In the menu bar at the top of the screen, click “qubeAV”.
2. In the submenu that opens, click “Settings”.
3. On the “Settings” submenu, click the “General” tab.
4. Here, you can set a preroll of up to five seconds before the click.

Marker set
Eight predefined markers are stored in your software. These markers were configured
by SKILLQUBE and synchronized with the marker keyboard provided. The markers
cannot be edited.

button changes to a stop symbol.
3. To finish recording, press the red button again and confirm that you want to finish
recording in the dialog menu that appears. The view switches to replay mode
and you can begin the debriefing. The image displayed is blurred until you begin
the debriefing.
