Using the VGA Capabilities of the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH
or 1MP2FH
Prior to installing the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH,
decide if you are going to use its on-board VGA capabilities.
If you are, check the setting of the VGA switches on the graphics
board. (See S1- VGA switches, figure 1.) By default, VGA should be
enabled.
If you decide to use a separate VGA monitor as your boot monitor, you
must disable the on-board VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed 3MP2FH,
2MP2FH or 1MP2FH by setting switches #1 and #2 on the 3MP2FH,
2MP2FH or 1MP2FH display controller to the “off” position. The two
switches are labeled “VGA EN” and “BIOS EN” respectively. Use a
pen or small flat bladed screwdriver and move the white slider switch
toward the bottom of the switch (towards the numbers).
NOTE: To use multiple 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FHs in a single
host with VGA enabled, you need to enable VGA on only ONE of the
3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FHs and disable VGA on ALL other
BarcoMed display controllers.
Examples of PCI Slots
Although the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH has a 64 bit
PCI connector, it functions as a 32 bit board. It may be installed in
either a 32 bit or 64 bit slot with no loss of functionality. Figure 2
illustrates the types of slots so that you can correctly identify which one
to use for the 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH.

Installing the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH Display
Controller
Install the 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH into your computer following
these steps:
1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power
cord.
2. Remove the chassis cover according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Be sure to observe safety warnings.
3. If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of the
3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH (see Using the VGA capabilities of
the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH), you must now
remove any VGA cards that are currently installed in the computer.
4. Install the 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH Display Controller into a
free PCI slot, either 32 bit or 64 bit (see figure 2, for examples of
slots). Be sure that the display controller is seated firmly in the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the PC’s I/O panel mounting
screw, and replace the chassis cover.
6. Connect the primary display (left most display in a linear
configuration, top most in a vertical configuration) to the uppermost
connector on the 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH (the output
farthest from the motherboard – “VID 1” in figure 3) using the
provided DVI cable. For a dual-headed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or
Display controller installation
Page 19
System manual Coronis 1MP 20
1MP2FH setup, connect the secondary display to the other connector
on the display controller.
7. Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system
as usual.
Running Multiple BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH
Display Controllers in a Single Host
The physical order of the displays may vary when you are running
multiple BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH display controllers.
This is due to the PC’s PCI bus control in the system BIOS, and not
the BarcoMed display controller. It may become necessary, depending
on how your PC’s BIOS configures the PCI bus, to switch your DVI
display connections to achieve a linear desktop configuration.

OVERVIEW
Introduction
The MFGD 1318, BARCO’s 18” 1 megapixel grayscale LCD display,
guarantees perfect image quality in medical imaging applications.
The display combines a TFT (thin film transistor) liquid crystal display
panel structure and a built-in backlight with inverter for a better picture
quality. It is designed to meet the users’ needs for performance,
consistency, and outstanding image quality through a streamlined
development process.
If the Portrait Accelerator option is installed, the display can be used in
portrait or landscape version, simply by turning the panel. The tilt &
swivel foot allows ideal positioning of the panel, in height and viewing
angle.
The panel can be adjusted by means of a control wheel on the display.
I-Guard
I-GUARD® is Barco’s patent-pending, built-in calibration device,
continuously maintaining image quality. With I-GUARD®, QA checks no
longer need to disturb normal radiology activities, as they can be
performed while applications are running.
I-GUARD
®
allows radiologists or QA administrators to calibrate their
viewing stations or adjust the panel’s curve to DICOM standards
without administrator intervention.
Autoset feature
The display has an Autoset feature that helps the user to adjust
standard presets: With one single function, you can automatically
adjust the display completely.
Autoscan
When you connect a video signal, the display checks in the internal
memory if the signal has been adjusted before. If so, it selects the
settings and parameters that match the connected signal.
When you connect a video signal that hasn’t been connected before,
and adjust the display to the signal, the adjustments and signal timing
parameters are stored in a programmable preset.
Display installation
Page 24
System manual Coronis 1MP 25
Best resolution
The optimum and recommended resolution is 1280 x 1024 or 1024 x
1280 (if the Portrait Accelerator option is installed).
The recommended refresh rate is 60 Hz.
Would you have trouble selecting a proper display setting in
Windows, please refer to the Troubleshooting section further.
BARCO’s BarcoMed 1MP2FH display controller is the best choice to
drive the MFGD 1318 display.
Power saving (DPMS)
The MFGD 1318 is equipped with a power saving system.
When left idle for a certain time, the computer connected to the
display, will power down the display. The power saving system can be
switched on or off using the on-screen menus.
This system requires a computer display controller that supports
power saving management.
Ambient Light Compensation (ALC)
When enabled, the ALC system automatically adapts the display light
output, depending on the ambient light in the room. The ambient light
is measured by the ALC optical sensor located at the front of the
display.

Precautions
• Keep your original packaging. It is designed for this display and is
the ideal protection during transport.
• Avoid reflections in the flat panel to reduce eye strain.
• Place the display on a strong and stable table or desk.
• Keep the display away from heat sources and provide enough
ventilation in case it is built in a rack or console.
• Make sure all equipment is switched off before connecting the
cables.
Before installing the display
Important:
In the factory, the height-positioning system in the display foot is
locked in place with a strap to prevent damage during transportation.
Before installing the display, you must remove this strap.
Strap
To remove the strap:
1 Position the display with its rear side facing you.
2 If the foot cover is mounted on the foot, lift up the 2 clips of the foot
cover to release the cover from the foot.
3 Pull the lower side of the cover towards you and simultaneously
slide the cover downward.
4 Pull the red strap out of its holes in the foot.
We suggest leaving the foot cover off until after you have connected
the signal cables to the display.
Display installation
Page 28
System manual Coronis 1MP 29
Portrait or landscape position
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.
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.
3 To change from portrait to landscape, turn the panel
counterclockwise while tilting it slightly.
To change from landscape to portrait, turn clockwise.
Connecting the signal cables
To get access to the connectors, open the cover of the connector
compartment by pulling down the 2 clips of the cover.
The signal cables can be routed inside the display foot. Therefore,
remove the foot cover before connecting the cables (see "Before
installing the display").
Important:
Do not connect video and sync cables to the BNC and D15 connectors at the same time.
To connect DVI cables:
1 Connect one end of the DVI cable to the DVI input (5) of the display.
2 Connect the other end of the DVI cable to the video output of your
DVI signal source.
3 Route the cable so that it enters the connector compartment at the
place where the cover is bulged.

Using the Autoset* functions
* Not in DVI mode
The Autoset menu provides a set of functions to adjust the display
automatically.
When do you need to use the Autoset functions?
It is necessary to perform the Auto Gain and Auto Phase calibrations in
the following cases:
• The first time you use the display on an analog video
• After connecting or selecting another analog video source
It is necessary to perform the Automatic Geometry function in case
you notice the image geometry or positioning is not as desired.
Required test pattern
To obtain good results with the autoset functions, it is necessary to
have a good image on which to perform the functions.
For Auto Geometry, the pattern should be an image that fills the
screen up to the edges, from left to right and top to bottom. 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.
For Auto Phase, the pattern should contain sharp black-white transitions, like a line pattern or characters.
For Auto Gain, the pattern should contain parts that are completely
black (0% video amplitude) and parts that are full white (100% video
amplitude).

signal drives the RGB sub-pixels of the panel
equally.
Display installation
Page 47
System manual Coronis 1MP 48
Use this setting in case the display controller is
a color board.
RGB->RGB ............. The R video signal drives the R sub-pixels, the G
video signal drives the G sub-pixels and the B
video signal drives the B sub-pixels. This is the
preferred setting for grayscale display controllers that have the luminance signal on all 3
video channels, because it ensures the most
levels of gray.
G->Y ........................ The Green video signal from the display
controller is used as luminance value to drive
the RGB subpixels of the panel equally.
B->Y ........................ The Blue video signal from the display control-
ler is used as luminance value to drive the RGB
subpixels of the panel equally.
R->Y ........................ The Red video signal from the display controller
is used as luminance value to drive the RGB
subpixels of the panel equally.
Note: The LCD panel used in this display is originally an RGB panel, of
which the colors are disabled. All RGB subpixels are used for
grayscale reproduction.

MAINTENANCE
Panel
Take care not to damage or scratch the panel. Clean with a soft
woolen or cotton towel. Use a watery solution or a mild commercial
glass-cleaning product suited for coated glass surfaces.
Cabinet
Do not use chemical cleaning products, benzene, toluene, xylene or
other solvents. Clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent
and water. Repeat with water only and wipe dry with a dry cloth.
Removing dust from the rear of the glass panel
It may be possible that dust particles have entered the display and are
stuck to the rear of the glass.
We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a BARCO
service center.
However, when really necessary, you can perform the cleaning on site
if you can work in conditions that are as clean and dust-free as
possible. This is to avoid more dust entering the display when opening
it.
To remove the glass panel:
1 Switch off the display.
2 Tilt the panel.
3 Unscrew the 4 sunken screws at the rear, fixing
the glass panel and bezel.
4 Unplug the cable plugged in on the bezel.
5 Remove the bezel with glass panel.
Cleaning instructions:
- Dust, fingerprints, grease etc. can be removed by using a soft
damp cloth (a small amount of mild detergent can be used on the
cloth, NOT solvent).
- Do not apply liquid directly to the LCD surface as excess liquid may
cause damage to internal electronics.
- Take care not to touch the I-guard light sensor on the LCD panel.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Windows does not show the desired display
settings
Should you have problems selecting display settings for portrait
oriented displays in the Windows Display Properties control panel,
disable the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display in
the control panel (see below).
Information:
The display contains a special memory chip that contains information
about the display's scanning capabilities. When Windows starts up, it
reads the contents from this memory and presents a number of display
settings in the Display Properties control panel, based on this information.
The memory of this display contains the information the display can
handle scanning systems up to 120 Hz. That is why Windows will
propose a display setting with a high refresh rate. However, it is best
to select a refresh rate of 60 Hz.
The information that the display can be used in portrait mode, is also

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Overview
The BarcoMed Software Installation section has been divided into
two sections. One for Windows NT 4.0 and the other for Windows
2000 and Windows XP.
Software
In addition to the device drivers for your BarcoMed Display
Controller(s), your BarcoMed Software CD also includes several
additional tools. They are: the BarcoMed Driver Tab, the BarcoMed
Hardware Tab, the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver and the CORONIS
Rotation Service. The BarcoMed Driver Tab, the BarcoMed Hardware
Tab and the BARCO Display Tab are automatically installed with
BarcoMed Display Controller driver and become part of the Windows
Display Control Panel. The BARCO DPMS (Display Power
Management Signaling) Screen Saver and the CORONIS Rotation
Service are optional tools which must be installed separately.
The BarcoMed Driver Tab helps you manage the special features of
your BarcoMed Display Controller(s). The BarcoMed Hardware Tab
gathers information about the BarcoMed Display Controller(s) and
your system that is useful when diagnosing problems. The
BarcoMed Hardware Tab can also be used to update the firmware on
the AURA video chipset based BarcoMed Display Controller. The
BARCO Display Tab is used for gathering information about the
BarcoMed Flat Panel Display(s). The BARCO DPMS Screen Saver
allows the user to set power and monitor saving features for medical
monitors driven by BarcoMed Display Controller(s). At the end of the
workday, the monitor will enter certain DPMS states as requested by
the imaging board. The CORONIS Rotation Service detects changes
in the physical orientation of the rotatable CORONIS flat-panel
displays and changes the resolution of the display to match the
physical orientation.
Special Note: The CORONIS Rotation Service requires the Portrait
Accelerator (PA) Option in order to function. The PA is included with
the CORONIS 3MP Flat Panel Displays and is available as an option
for the CORONIS 1MP and 2MP Flat Panel Displays.
BarcoMed Software Installation Wizard
The BarcoMed Software Installation Wizard is a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) designed to install the BarcoMed Display Controller
Driver, the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver and the CORONIS Rotation
Page 59
System manual Coronis 1MP 60
BarcoMed software driver installation
Service in a single operation prior to rebooting. The user may also
use the BarcoMed Software Installation Wizard to reinstall either the
BarcoMed Display Controller Drivers or CORONIS Rotation Service
and/or modify, repair or remove the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver from
his system. The BarcoMed Display Controller Driver must be
installed prior to installing either or both the BARCO DPMS Screen
Saver or the CORONIS Rotation Service.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Installing the BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or
1MP2FH Windows NT 4.0 Software
SPECIAL NOTE: Prior to installing the BarcoMed drivers and related
software you MUST install the BarcoMed Display Controller(s),
connect the CORONIS display panel(s) to the controller(s), and turn
the CORONIS display panel(s) on. Refer to the Hardware Installation
section of this manual for instructions on installing the BarcoMed
Display Controller(s) and connecting them to the CORONIS display
panel(s).
The following software installation instructions presume that
Windows NT is already installed on your system. If you need to
install or reinstall Windows NT on your system you must first remove
the BarcoMed Display Controller(s) and use a 3rd party VGA card and
VGA monitor during the Windows NT installation process.
Using the BarcoMed Product Installation Wizard
To install your BarcoMed 3MP2FH, 2MP2FH or 1MP2FH Windows
Display Controller Driver, BARCO DPMS Screen Saver and
CORONIS Rotation Service 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 step 1 below:
1. Install the BarcoMed Display Controller(s) into your machine.
Please refer to the Hardware Installation section of this manual
for more information.
2. Boot the machine, log in using an account with administrator
privileges and follow these steps.
3. Insert your BarcoMed Software CD into your computer’s CD drive.
The “BarcoMed Software Product Installation Wizard” should start
automatically. If it doesn’t start within 1–2 minutes, browse the
contents of your BarcoMed 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

Click “Yes” to restart your computer now.
Click “No” if you wish to restart your computer later.
When your system restarts, boot normally and log in using an
account with administrator privileges and set the resolution of your
CORONIS displays.
Configuring the Windows Desktop and Setting the Resolution
of your CORONIS Display
Note: Prior to setting the resolution of your high resolution display
under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you need to configure your
desktop.
Configuring the Windows 2000 or Windows XP desktop
Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP the recommended
configuration for best grayscale image quality when using a color
display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale displays is
to set the color display as the primary monitor, with the colors setting
on the “Settings” tab of the Windows Display Control Panel set to the
highest possible color depth (e.g. 32 bits-per-pixel “true color”)
supported by the color display’s controller.
The colors setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays should
default to 256 colors (8 bits per pixel). The palette mode for the your
high-resolution grayscale displays should be set to Static Gray
palette
Page 79
System manual Coronis 1MP 80
BarcoMed software driver installation
mode with NO system colors. This guarantees that the all of the 256
gray levels available for GDI graphics will be present, and also
eliminates the danger that colors will change when focus moves
among different applications.
However, if you are using the Color to Gray Conversion Palette mode,
the color setting for your high-resolution grayscale displays should
default to True Color (32 bits per pixel). Even though this palette
mode supports 32 bit True Color, we recommend that when using a
using a color display in conjunction with your high-resolution
grayscale display(s) that you still set the color display as the primary
monitor.
(For more information refer to our Frequently Asked Questions page
on our website: www.barcomedical.com.)
Setting the Resolution of Your CORONIS Display Panel
1. To set the resolution for your CORONIS display panel(s), right
click on the desktop and select “Properties”. Select the
“Settings” tab. Now select the rectangle that represents the
BarcoMed Display Controller you are working with.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you are using the VGA capabilities of your
BarcoMed Display Controller, the resolution for that controller will
still be set to a VGA resolution of “640 x 480” pixels. If the
BarcoMed Display Controller is not running VGA, the device may
not be enabled yet. To enable the device check the “Extend my
Windows desktop onto this monitor” checkbox. Do not click the
“Apply” button at this time.
If you installed your BarcoMed display drivers in SingleView mode
(default for Windows 2000) there will be one rectangle for the
virtual display representing the two heads controlled by each
BarcoMed display controller.
If you installed your BarcoMed display drivers in DualView mode
(default for Windows XP) there will be a rectangle representing
each head controlled by each BarcoMed display controller. This
will be true even if you have only one display connected to your
BarcoMed display controller. Both displays of a display controller
cannot be attached to the desktop at the same time unless their
display properties match. If necessary detach the second display
of the BarcoMed display controller you are working with by right
clicking on the rectangle that represents it, deselect “Attached”
and click the “Apply” button.
Note: Since Windows will not let you detach the primary display
connected to a particular controller, you may need to temporarily
make another display the primary display.
Page 80
System manual Coronis 1MP 81
BarcoMed software driver installation
If you have a single display configuration and you have enabled
DualView, Windows will not allow you to attach the second head.
This is normal and not a bug.
2. For the display which is still attached click on the “Advanced”
Button.
3. Select the “Adapter” tab and then click on the “List All Modes...”
button. Select the resolution and refresh rate that your Coronis
display supports from the dialog box and click “OK”.
Note: In the Adapter box, the Adapter string shows if this display is
the First View or the Second View attached to the Display
Controller. Please make a note of this, so that you can arrange
the displays in the correct order later if necessary.
4. Click “OK” on the bottom of the Adapter Control Panel. If the “OK”
button on the bottom of the Adapter Control Panel is not visible,
press the “TAB” key once and then press “CTRL”+“Enter” to
select “OK”.
5. Click “OK” in the “Windows will now apply your new desktop
settings” dialog box. Your Coronis display should now
synchronize and display the Windows desktop.
6. Click “Yes” when asked, “Your desktop has been reconfigured.
Do you want to keep these settings?”
To set the resolution of the second display attached to the BarcoMed
Display Controller you are working with, go back to the “Settings”
tab of the “Display Properties Control Panel”. Attach the second
display you detached in step 2 above, by right clicking on the
rectangle that represents it and selecting “Attached”.
Now repeat steps 3-6 above for this display.
If you are using a Quad-Head Configuration repeat all of the above
steps for the two displays on the second display controller.
Tip: After installing DualView and setting the resolutions in a QuadHead Configuration you may need to drag the heads into the proper
position in the window on the “Settings” tab, so that the arrangement
in the window on the “Settings” tab matches the physical
arrangement of your configuration.
Enabling or Disabling DualView
If you wish to either enable or disable DualView at a later time, you
may do so through the Monitor Configuration drop down menu on the
BarcoMed Driver tab. Please refer to the BarcoMed Driver Tab
chapter of this manual.

BARCOMED DRIVER TAB
Introduction
After the BarcoMed Windows Display Controller Driver is installed, a
new Display Properties tab is available for configuring special
features of the BarcoMed Display Controller. Please note that you
must have logged on to Windows using an account with
administrator privileges in order to use the BarcoMed Tabs of the
Windows Display Properties Control Panel to change any display
settings.
Accessing the BarcoMed Driver Tab
1) Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right clicking on
the desktop, then select “Properties”.
2) Under Windows NT 4.0, Click on the “BarcoMed Driver” tab (see
figure 20 below).
Under Windows 2000 and Windows XP, click on “Settings” tab.
Double click on the rectangle that represents the BarcoMed
Display Controller to bring up its property page. Click on the
“BarcoMed Driver” tab (see figure 21 on the next page).

Status
Displays the current BarcoMed Display Controller, driver, and the
currently selected display resolution.
Graphics Board
This displays the current BarcoMed Display Controller.
Driver Version
This displays the current BarcoMed driver version.
Resolution
This displays the currently selected display resolution.
Palette Mode
You may choose one of the following four Palette Modes:
Color to Gray Compatibility
Use this palette option for applications, such as Java, which require
True Color support. Such applications may not work correctly when
Page 84
System manual Coronis 1MP 85
BarcoMed software driver installation
using one of Barco’s three “Standard 8-bit (256-color)” palette
modes. All applications that are designed to work correctly with 8-bit
(256-color) modes should continue to work normally.
Please note that dithering is not used while in this mode. The
Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be
automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is
checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface
method.
Also, please note that direct access to the hardware through
DirectDraw is not allowed in this mode. The Enable DirectDraw
check box will be grayed-out, and DirectDraw’s access to the
hardware will be automatically disabled regardless of whether this
check box is checked. DirectDraw is still useable through
DirectDraw’s Hardware Emulation Layer.
UserModifiable Color Palette
This option allows applications to modify the palette contents
dynamically. As indicated by the picture on the next page, this mode
reserves the first 10 and last 10 entries in the palette for the
Windows operating system, but applications can manipulate the
middle 236 entries. This is the standard palette mode as configured
by Windows.
Static Gray Palette including standard system colors
This option sets the palette to be a static set of 256 gray values.
Therefore, applications are denied the ability to dynamically change
or allocate palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts between
applications, which can cause image color values to appear
distorted in the background application.
As shown in the next picture, the 20 standard system colors are
converted from RGB to gray values. The rest of the 236 entries from
index 10 to 245 contain the missing gray values so that the palette
has the full 256 gray values within it.
Page 85
System manual Coronis 1MP 86
BarcoMed software driver installation
Please note that dithering is not permitted while in this mode. The
Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be
automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is
checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface
method. If you are unsure whether or not your application requires
this “Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors” mode,
contact your application provider.
Static Gray Palette with NO system colors
This option sets the palette to be a static linear ramp of 256 shades
of gray. Therefore, applications are denied the ability to dynamically
change or allocate palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts
between applications, which can cause image color values to
appear distorted in the background application.
As shown in the next picture, each of the 256 entries in the palette
has an RGB value of (i, i, i) where i is the index from 0 to 255.
If you wish to use a static gray palette we recommend using the
“Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors” option
instead of this one. This is due to the fact that some applications
assume that the first and last 10 entries of the palette are the
standard system colors. In this palette mode, these entries are
made up from entries in the bottom or the top of the gray ramp.
Please note that dithering is not permitted while in this mode. The
Enable Dithering check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be
automatically disabled regardless of whether this check box is
checked. This complies with the Windows standard interface
method. If you are unsure whether or not your application requires
this “Static Gray Palette with NO System colors” mode, contact your
application provider.

BarcoMed software driver installation
Drawing Modes
You may choose one or both of 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 Dithering
This option allows the user to enable or disable dithering. Dithering
is a technique for increasing the perceived range of colors in an
image at the cost of spatial resolution. Adjacent pixels are assigned
differing color values; when viewed from a distance, these colors
seem to blend into a single intermediate color. The technique is
similar to the half-toning used in black-and-white publications to
achieve shades of gray. Please note that this option is only available
when the User Modifiable Palette Mode is selected. This is because
dithering is only supported under Windows when the display is
palletized. If either the “Static Gray Palette including Standard System
Colors” mode or the “Static Gray Palette with NO System colors”
mode is selected, the “Enable Dithering” check box will be grayedout, and dithering will be automatically disabled regardless of
whether this check box is checked. This complies with the Windows
standard interface method.
Monitor Configuration
This option allows you to select the number of monitors that the
current display boards should drive, as well as how the monitors
should be positioned. For example, if the current board installation is
capable of driving four heads, but you only have three monitors which
are placed in a single row, then you can select the “Three monitors –
one row” option from the pull-down list. This would cause the
Windows virtual desktop to be resized to fit on the three monitors,
and you can move your cursor horizontally from one screen to the
other.
Page 87
System manual Coronis 1MP 88
BarcoMed software driver installation
If “Custom Configuration” is displayed, it means that the current
monitor configuration was set via the registry and it doesn’t agree
with any of the configurations that the display control panel supports.
Contact BarcoView Medical Imaging Systems for further information.
Under Window 2000 or Windows XP you may also enable or disable
DualView through the Monitor Configuration drop down menu. When
changing from SingleView to DualView or DualView to SingleView,
your system will automatically shutdown and restart when you click
the “Apply” button. When your system comes back up, you may
need to re-set up your CORONIS displays with the desired display
settings.
Languages supported
The BarcoMed Driver Tab supports the following languages:
English (U.S) ( default )
Dutch
German
Korean
Japanese
Simplified Chinese
Traditional Chinese
To change between the languages select the correct region via the
Regional Settings Control Panel in your machine’s Start > Settings >

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 acess 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 “Properites” 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 acess 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 “Properites” button or double
clicking on the icon. This screen (figure 26 on the next page) 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.

BARCO DPMS SCREEN SAVER
OVERVIEW
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.
A valuable feature of the BARCO DPMS Screen Saver is that it will
automatically ensure that Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) based displays
are warmed up for the start of the work day. All CRT based displays
require some warm-up time before they are at full performance.
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 Saver During Work Day” section. We recommend using
an all black screen saver, such as the “Barco Metheus Blank Screen”
saver, for the longest phosphor life.
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.
On Liquid Crystal Display (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 using DPMS to
quickly enter the Off state. We recommend setting the work day to be
as short as possible to get the maximum power savings on
CORONIS displays.
The BARCO DPMS Screen Saver can also be used when no one is
logged on.
Page 99
System manual Coronis 1MP 100
BarcoMed software driver installation
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.
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.
Page 100
System manual Coronis 1MP 101
BarcoMed software driver installation
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 Saver During Work Day” section. We recommend using
an all black screen saver, such as the “Barco Metheus 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-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:
