View Movies and Sounds with QuickTime

The web version of DxR Clinician makes extensive use of QuickTime, and its browser plug-in. If you don't already have QuickTime installed, versions for both Windows and Macintosh are available to download for free from Apple Computer's QuickTime site: http://www.apple.com/quicktime

Note that the free QuickTime Player is adequate for use with DxR Clinician. It is not necessary to purchase the full QuickTime Pro package for use with our product. Pop up windows will appear from time to time, asking if you would like to upgrade to QuickTime Pro. These are merely requests and can be dismissed.

These sounds are generally best heard with headphones.

The controller for the QuickTime plug-in looks like this:
