2. Pull the red strap out of the fixation holes in the foot.

3. Keep the strap in case the display needs to be
shipped later.

Adjust the panel orientation

You can change the orientation of the panel at any time,
but it is more convenient to select landscape or portrait
orientation before connecting the cables.

Strap

Display installation

34 System Manual Color Coronis 2MP

To change the panel orientation:

1. Stand at the front side of the panel and take the
panel at both sides.

2. Very important: Tilt the panel before changing the
orientation.

Should you change the panel orientation without
tilting it first, you might irreversibly damage the tilt &
swivel mechanism.

Figure 7

counterclockwise.

Display installation

System Manual Color Coronis 2MP 35

Figure 8

To change from landscape to portrait, turn clockwise.

Notice:

If, after installing the display or the system, you change
the panel orientation while an image is on the screen,
the result depends on your application:

• In a Color Coronis system, the image orientation will
adapt to the new panel orientation automatically
after a second.

•

• If you use the display stand-alone, the image
orientation will not change with the panel orientation.

Only the orientation of the on-screen display (OSD)
will change automatically in case “Orientation” in the
OSD Geometry menu is set to “Automatic”.

To change the orientation of the image, you will have
to change the resolution in the Windows Display
control panel (if possible).

and Windows XP.

Preparation

Prior to installing your Color Coronis software the
following should be done.

1. Install the BarcoMed 2MP2CF-3D display controller in
your system.

2. Connect the Color Coronis display panel(s) to the
BarcoMed 2MP2CF-3D display controller and power
supply.

3. Decide if you want to install the Barco DPMS Screen
Saver Software in addition to the driver.

Using the BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard

To install your Color Coronis Windows Display Controller
Driver and theBarco DPMS Screen Saver Software for the
first time follow the steps below.

If you are reinstalling the drivers or installing a new
driver release over an existing driver release skip to the
step 5:

1. Boot your system, and log in using an account with
administrator privileges.

2. For each BarcoMed 2MP2CF-3D display controller
installed in your system Windows will launch the
“Found New Hardware Wizard”. Click “Cancel”.
Continue to click “Cancel” until Windows stops
launching the “Found New Hardware Wizard”. Please
be patient as this may take several minutes while
Windows scans its library of Plug-and-Play device
drivers to see if it has a driver for your
BarcoMed 2MP2CF-3D controller.

Installing the software

3. If Windows advises you that it has finished installing
all the new devices in your system and that you must
reboot your system in order for the changes to take
effect, click “No”.

4. Insert your Color Coronis Software CD into your
computer’s CD drive. If the “BarcoMed Product
Installation Wizard” doesn’t start within one
minute, browse the contents of your Color Coronis
Software CD and double click on the file:
“Setup.exe” to start the wizard.

The BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard will begin
by inspecting your system to make certain that all of
the Windows components it needs are up to date. If
they are, the BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard
will display the BarcoMed Product Installation
Wizard’s welcome screen (figure 20).

Palette Mode

If any of the options in this section are grayed out, then
they are not available for the model controller with which
you are working. Unlike Windows 8-bit (256) color mode
which has a limited number of colors to work with, 24-bit
TrueColor eliminates the need to select a palette mode.

Drawing Modes

If any of the options in this section are grayed out, then
they are not available for the model controller with which
you are working.

In the Drawing Mode section you can choose from the
following Drawing Modes.

Enable DirectDraw

This option allows the user to enable or disable
DirectDraw. DirectDraw is a software interface that
provides direct access to display devices while
maintaining compatibility with the Windows graphics
device interface (GDI). DirectDraw provides a device­independent way for applications to gain access to the
hardware features of specific display devices. If you
enable DirectDraw, your application will have the choice
of using DirectDraw or GDI. If you disable DirectDraw,
your application will use GDI instead of DirectDraw.
Please note that in any case, your application can always
use BarcoMed driver functions (i.e. WinBarco) or other
graphics extensions (such as OpenGL).

Enable 3D

This option allows you to enable or disable the Direct-3D
and OpenGL support of the BarcoMed 2MP2CF-3D. If you
disable 3D, 3D operations will not be accelerated by the
hardware, resulting in significant performance loss.

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

70 System Manual Color Coronis 2MP

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

Introduction

The BARCO DPMS (Display Power Management
Signaling) Screen Saver allows the user to set power and
display saving features for medical displays driven by
BarcoMed Display Controllers. At the end of the work
day, the display will enter certain DPMS states as
requested by the display controller.

The default state for the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver is
the Off state. In addition to simply entering the Off state
after the work day, the user can specify that the display
first go through two other DPMS Screen Saver states
before going into Off state. These two other states for
the Screen Saver are Stand-By and Suspend. The user
can specify how much time should be spent in each state
in the “Amount of Time in each DPMS Power State”
section.

The BARCO DPMS Screen Saver can also be used when
no one is logged on.

BARCO DPMS Screen Saver Options

From the “BARCO DPMS Screen Saver Control Panel” you
can change many DPMS screen saver elements
simultaneously. The DPMS screen saver elements in each
scheme are work schedule, work day screen saver, DPMS
settings after work day, and many additional options.

Current Scheme

Lists the three “DEFAULT” schemes which you can use as
they are. Or you can modify them to meet your office’s
schedule.

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

System Manual Color Coronis 2MP 71

Save As

Saves your current BARCO DPMS Screen Saver settings.
The name you specify will appear in the Scheme list so
you can easily restore these settings later.

Delete

Deletes the scheme that is selected in the Scheme box.

Work Schedule

In this part of the control panel the user may specify the
“Begin Work Day” and “End Work Day” times for each
work day. If the system is not expected to be used, leave
both the “Begin Work Day” and the “End Work Day”
times as the same time.

Begin Work Day

The “Begin Work Day” time is the time after which the
system is expected to start being used. During the work
day, the screen saver selected by the user in the “Screen
Saver During Work Day” section is used during user
inactivity.

End Work Day

The “End Work Day” time is the time after which the
system is not expected to be used any more for that day.
After the work day, the display is set to one of the DPMS
states (Stand-By, Suspend, or Off) by the display
controller during user inactivity.

Screen Saver During Work Day

On CRT based displays, such as the Barco MGD series, a
“regular” screen saver can be invoked during user
inactivity during the work day. This “regular” screen
saver and its settings can be chosen from the “Screen

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

72 System Manual Color Coronis 2MP

Saver During Work Day” section. We recommend using
an all black screen saver, such as the “Barco Blank
Screen” saver, for the longest phosphor life.

On LCD based displays, such as the Barco CORONIS
displays, it is not necessary to invoke a screen saver as
there is no CRT phosphor to preserve. However, one can
extend the life of the backlight in the LCD display, in
addition to realizing great power savings, during period
of user inactivity by quickly entering the Off state. We
recommend setting the work day to be as short as
possible to get the maximum power savings on
CORONIS displays.

Available Savers

Lists the Available Screen Savers.

Settings

Changes settings for the selected screen saver.

DPMS Settings After Work Day

If you have an display controller that supports DPMS
calls, then you will be able to set the DPMS Settings for
after the work day. Otherwise, a text box will be
displayed telling you why DPMS functions are not
available.

Amount of Time in each DPMS State

After the work day, the display will be placed into one of
the following DPMS Power States: Stand-By, Suspend, or
Off. The default setting is for the display to directly go
into the Off State and spend no time in the Stand-By or
Suspend states. If the user wishes to go into the Stand-

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

System Manual Color Coronis 2MP 73

By or Suspend states before going into the Off state,
select the required amount of time for each state.

If requested, the display will first go into Stand-By state,
then into Suspend state, and then into Off state. The
properties of DPMS states are listed in the following
table:

Monitor Settings

Select the amount of time the display requires to warm­up. Since all CRT based displays require some warm-up
time before they are at full performance, this ensures
that the display is ready for use at the beginning of the
work day.

If you have a Barco Medical Display, select “Barco Quick
Start.” If a non-Barco display is being used, select the
amount of time it takes your display to warm up via the
“Monitor Setting” section. Contact your display vendor
for this warm-up time.

On Barco CORONIS displays, the I-GUARD will stabilize
the image within a few seconds after the display returns
to the active state so there is no need for a warm-up
time period.

Check the box to use the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver
when no one is logged into the system.

Uncheck the box to use the default screen saver when no
one is logged into the system.

Getting started with the BARCO DPMS Screen
Saver

The easiest way to get started is to select an existing
settings scheme and then modify it with your
preferences. Settings schemes are separated into two
kinds, DEFAULT (global) and PRIVATE (personal).

Upon installation, three default settings schemes are
installed and no private settings schemes are installed.

Default settings schemes are visible to all users of the
system. However, they can be modified only by users
with administrator privileges. If a user who does not
have administrator privileges tries to save a scheme
using an existing default scheme name, an error
message is displayed saying “you must have
administrator rights to modify a default scheme.” If an
administrator saves a scheme using an existing default
scheme name, a message is displayed to tell the user
that the modification is saved to a default scheme and
will be visible to all users. If the administrator saves a
scheme using a new name, then the user is asked if the
scheme should be saved as a default scheme or a private
scheme. Since there is no distinction between how a
default scheme and a private scheme is displayed, it is
highly recommended that the user uses a different
naming convention to distinguish the two (i.e. use
“DEFAULT: ...” for default schemes).

Private schemes are personal. They are not shared and
are visible only to the users who created them. All users

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

System Manual Color Coronis 2MP 75

of a system, including those who do not have
administrator privileges, can create, modify or delete
private schemes. When the delete button is pressed, the
user is asked to confirm the delete request.

Using the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver

Using the Barco DPMS Screen Saver is similar to using
any other Windows Screen Saver, each user of the
system must select the Barco DPMS Screen Saver so
that Windows will store the selection in the user’s profile.
If a user does not select the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver
as his screen saver, the next time he logs on to the
system the screen saver selection may be blank.

After selecting the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver the user
must then select a settings scheme for the Screen Saver
to follow. To set up the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver using
one of the three default schemes, please do the
following:

1. Select the “Barco DPMS Screen Saver” in the
“Screen Saver” drop down menu if it is not already
selected.

Note: If you make any changes to any of the
settings of one of the three default schemes, the
Current Scheme field will blank and you MUST SAVE
your changes by clicking on the “Save As ...”
button. When you click on the “Save As ...” button,
the name of the last scheme you used will be
automatically displayed, you can then choose to use
that scheme name or enter a new name. If you enter
a name other than one of the three default scheme

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

78 System Manual Color Coronis 2MP

names, the program will ask you if you wish to save
the scheme as a DEFAULT scheme (figure 34 below).
Click “Yes” to save the settings scheme as a
DEFAULT scheme, click “No” to save the scheme as a
PRIVATE scheme. After you have saved the scheme,
then click OK and the new scheme will be in effect.

Figure 34

To create a new scheme by modifying one of the three
default schemes please do the following.

1. Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right
clicking on an empty space of the desktop and
selecting “Properties” from the drop down menu;
then select the “Screen Saver” tab.

6. Select the screen saver you wish to use during the
work day in the “Screen Saver During Work Day”
section.

7. Select the amount of time you wish to spend in the
Stand-By and Suspend states after the work day has
ended. Please note that after the time specified has
elapsed when you are in Stand-By or Suspend, you
will automatically go into the Off state.

8. Select the amount of time it takes for your display to
warm up. If you have a Barco Medical Display, select
“Barco Quick Start”. If you are using a non-Barco
display, select the amount of time it takes your
display to warm up via the “Monitor Setting” section.
Contact your display vendor for this warm-up time.
On Barco CORONIS displays, the I-GUARD will
stabilize the image within a few seconds after the
display returns to the active state, thus eliminating
the need for a warm-up period at the beginning of
the work day.

9. If you wish to use this DPMS screen saver as the
screen saver at logon time, check the “Use As
Logon Screen Saver” box in the “Additional
Options” section.

10. Save your preferences by pressing the “Save As”
button and entering a new profile name in the “Save
Profile Setting” dialog box.

about the BarcoMed Flat Panel Display(s).

To access the BARCO Display Tab do the following:

1. Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right
clicking on the desktop, then select “Properties”.

2. Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, click on the
“Settings” tab. Double click on the rectangle that
represents the BarcoMed Display you are working
with to bring up its properties page. Click on the
“BARCO Display” tab (figure 36).

Using The BARCO Display Tab

Displays

All of the available display adapters that are of the same
type as the current barco display adapter are shown here
graphically, with one display icon representing each port
of a display adapter. The icon orientation reflects the
display resolution. Only those ports with a display
attached to them are active. If an icon is grayed out,
that indicates a port with no head attached to it. When
running DualView under Windows 2000 and Windows XP
the desktop must be extended to include each display,
otherwise those ports will not be visible to the BARCO
Display Tab.

Hovering the cursor over a display icon will pop up a
window with information that identifies the display.

Properties

You may access the Properties page of the currently
selected display, which is represented by the monitor
icon above with the black frame around it, by either
clicking on the “Properties” button or double clicking on
the icon.

BarcoMFD library

This is the version of the barcomfd library currently
used. This library provides APIs for interacting with the
displays.

Coronis Display Properties

You may access the Properties page of the currently
selected display, which is represented by the monitor
icon above with the black frame around it, by either
clicking on the “Properties” button or double clicking

on the icon. This screen (figure 37 on page 85) shows
properties of the currently active display.

Name: Displays the model name of the display.

Serial Number: Displays the serial number of the

display.

Backlight RunTime: This is time in hours that the back
light has been on. A common question is: How much
longer will the backlight last? The backlight will typically
last a very long time, but will only be able to hold a
calibrated output of 500 cd/m² for 17000 hours, after
which time it will become slowly dimmer. For displays
calibrated at 500 cd/m², an estimate of how long it will
be before a backlight replacement is needed = 17000
hours – backlight age.

Firmware Revisions: This is the runtime firmware that
is loaded in the display. This information may be helpful
when there is a problem.

Internal Temperature: This is the temperature inside
the display. It starts out at about the ambient
temperature when the display backlight is first turned
on, then rises slowly to a steady-state temperature as
the display warms up. Changes in light level due to
temperature variations are completely controlled by the
I-Guard sensor on the front of the display.

Current Luminance Value: This is the current
luminance value of the display. It may vary a bit from
time to time, for the display continuously calibrates itself
to meet the target luminance value.

About the on-screen display

The on-screen display (OSD) has a hierarchical
structure, with several levels. The top level is the “Main
Menu”.

A number of functions are directly accessible from the
main menu. Others are grouped in sub-menus.

The content of the on-screen menus depends on the
selected video input: The following functions are present
in analog mode but are not present in digital (DVI)
mode:

•Autoset

•Video Contrast

• Video Brightness

•Preset

This is indicated throughout this manual.

When do you need to use the Autoset function?

• The first time you use the display with analog video
connected.

• After connecting or selecting another analog video
source (e.g., changing the PC resolution).

• In case you notice the image geometry or positioning
is not as desired.

Required test pattern

To obtain good results, the image on screen during the
Autoset function should meet the following
requirements:

• The edges of the image should have an intensity of at
least 15% video amplitude. E.g., a Windows desktop
pattern would be a good image, provided the
background is not too dark.

• The image should contain sharp black-white
transitions, like a line pattern or characters.

• The image should contain parts that are completely
black (0% video amplitude) and parts that are full
white (100% video amplitude).

1. Turn the control wheel to display the on-screen
display. The Main Menu appears. The Autoset menu
