SubC ReviewStudio

SubC ReviewStudio is a DVR+ / SCI companion application designed to review and enrich your Inspections and generate logs.

This page provides an overview on how to create an Inspection Project in DVR+ / SCI using Eventing and then open that Inspection Project in SubC ReviewStudio.

SubC ReviewStudio can be installed on the same system as DVR+ / SCI host system or on another dedicated system for reviewing inspections. When ReviewStudio is installed on another system, copy the DVR+ Eventing session Inspection Projects from the DVR+ host system to the ReviewStudio host system.

Opening a Project in SubC ReviewStudio

Once you have completed an Inspection in DVR+ Eventing UI, you can then review your Project in SubC ReviewStudio.

You can run ReviewStudio on the same DVR+ host system or install ReviewStudio on another system, the latter being the more typically the use case.

If running ReviewStudio on another system, copy your DVR+ Inspection Eventing Project folder to the ReviewStudio host system.

Open SubC ReviewStudio

Software Version: Notice the Current Version and Latest Version information on the top, right of the SubC ReviewStudio UI.

  • The blue circle/checkmark indicates the current version matches the latest released version.

  • If there is a latest version that is newer than your current version a blue download arrow will appear. Download the latest version and install at your earliest convenience.

  • If there is a yellow circle with a “?” question mark, this indicates that the ReviewStudio host system is not connected to the Internet and therefore unable to check if a newer latest version is available.
