INTRODUCTION
About the system
Barco’s diagnostic display solutions are known for their image quality ,
fidelity and consistency.
Building upon its wide expertise in medical imaging and high-end
projectors, Barco has expanded its LCD and CRT display solutions
with a DICOM-compliant projection system, DICOM THEATER
world’s first large screen medical Imaging system, DICOM THEATER
provides consistent image quality for consulting, reviewing and
training applications. The system offers a turnkey solution, bundling
high-bright medical grade projector, flat panel display, dedicated
BARCOMED® grayscale imaging board and MEDICAL® PRO QA
management software. DICOM THEATER® is available in single- and
dualhead configurations.
DICOM THEA TER® facilitates consulting and reviewing: this ceilingmount medical projection system combines ClearBase and BlueBase
modes, has a user-friendly remote control and features versatile
connectivity to add a multitude of both color and grayscale application
sources, including PACS, X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, ... DICOM
THEATER® features I-GUARD®, Barco’s real-time optical calibration
tool for consistent and continuous DICOM compliant viewing, with no
need for user intervention.
About the separate components
The BarcoMed 2MP1HP imaging board generates the images for the
display and the projector. It is a dual-head board: It has two video
outputs, so it can send video signals to two different display devices.
Both video outputs deliver the same signal, so that the same image
can be viewed on both projector and display . However, both heads
have separate Lookup Tables (LUTs), so that the display curve or
Preset can be defined and stabilized separately for both display
devices.
The MGP 10 projector is used for projecting the medical images on a
large screen. It has multiple inputs, so it can also be used to display
other images, like presentations. Calibration and stabilization is done
by using the external optical sensor, which is installed at the side of the
large screen.
The LCD display is used as review display in the Dicom Theater
system. Calibration and stabilization of the display is done by means
®
. The
®
System manual DICOM Theater 10
Page 10
of the I-Guard® optical sensor, incorporated in the bezel of the display.
The MediCal Pro software is used for defining the Preset the display
devices must be conform to and calibrate them to make them conform
to the Preset.
The Dicom Theater software is a systray tool normally operating in
background. With the aid of the external optical sensor, this piece of
software ensures the stabilization of the projector . In addition, you can
use the Dicom Theater software to control some of the projector’s
functions.

Using the VGA Capabilities of the BarcoMed 2MP1HP
Prior to installing the BarcoMed 2MP1HP, decide if you are going to
use its on-board VGA cap abilities. If you are, check the setting of the
VGA switches on the display controller. (See Figure 1 for location of
the SW1- VGA switches). By default, VGA should be enabled. If you
decide to use a separate VGA card and monitor as your boot monitor,
you must disable the on-board VGA cap abilities of the BarcoMed
2MP1HP by setting switches #1 and #2 on the 2MP1HP display
controller to the “off” position. These two switches are labeled “VGA
EN” and “BIOS EN” respectively. Use a pen or small flat bladed
screwdriver and move the white slider switch towards the bottom of
the switch (towards the numbers).
NOTE: To use multiple 2MP1HPs in a single host with VGA enabled,
you need to enable VGA on only ONE of the 2MP1HPs and disable
VGA on ALL other BarcoMed display controllers.
If you have decided to use the on-board VGA capabilities of the
2MP1HP, you must now remove any VGA cards that are currently
installed in the computer.

Examples of PCI slots
Although the BarcoMed 2MP1HP 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
2MP1HP.
Figure 2: PCI and RAID Contr oller Slots
Installing the BarcoMed 2MP1HP Display Controller
Install the 2MP1HP 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
2MP1HP (see Using the VGA Capabilities of the BarcoMed
2MP1HP), you must now remove any VGA cards that are
currently installed in the computer . You may also need to un-install
the drivers for that VGA board. (Consult the User Guide for your
VGA board for instructions on removing the driver.) If your system
has an integrated VGA card you may need to make changes to
your system’s BIOS settings in order to use the VGA capabilities of
your BarcoMed display controller. (Consult your system manual(s)
for instructions on making changes to the BIOS settings.)
System manual DICOM Theater 24
Page 24
4) Install the 2MP1HP Graphics 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 LCD display to the uppermost connector on the
2MP1HP to the output marked “VID 1” (Figure 3) using the provided
15 pin D-Sub to 15 pin D-Sub cable. Connect the DICOM Theatre
Projector to the output marked “VID 2” on the display controller
using the provided 15 pin D-Sub to BNC cable.
7) Reconnect the power cord, turn on the power, and boot the system
as usual.

Running Multiple BarcoMed 2MP1HP Display Controllers in a
Single Host
The physical order of the displays may vary when you are running
multiple BarcoMed 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 BNC display connections to
achieve a linear desktop configuration.

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

Resolution

Palette Mode
You can choose one of the following Palette Modes:
UserModifiable Color Palette
This option allows applications to modify the palette contents
dynamically. As indicated by the picture below, 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 conflict s 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
System manual DICOM Theater 48
Page 48
index 10 to 245 contain the missing gray values so that the palette has
the full 256 gray values within it.
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, cont act 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 p alette conflicts
between applications, which can cause image color values to appear
distorted in the background application.
As shown in the picture below, each of the 256 entries in the p alette
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 “S tatic
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
System manual DICOM Theater 49
Page 49
application requires this “Static Gray Palette with NO System colors”
mode, contact your application provider.
Drawing Modes
You can 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 dif fering
color values; when viewed from a distance, these colors seem to blend
into a single intermediate color. The technique is similar to the halftoning 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 grayed-out, 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 –
System manual DICOM Theater 50
Page 50
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.
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 MIS for further information.
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 St art > Settings >

BARCO DPMS SCREEN SA VER
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 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.
System manual DICOM Theater 58
Page 58
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.
System manual DICOM Theater 59
Page 59
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 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 St ate and spend no time in the
Stand-By or Suspend st ates. 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 st ate, 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 warm-up. 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.
Use As Logon Screen Saver
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
System manual DICOM Theater 61
Page 61
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 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. 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 (see figures
28, 29 and 30 on the next two pages).
2. Select the “Barco DPMS Screen Saver” in the “Screen Saver”
drop down menu if it is not already selected.

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 names, the
program will ask you if you wish to save the scheme as a
DEFAULT scheme (see figure 32 on the next page). 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.

USING DICOM THEA TER SOFTW ARE
The Dicom Theater software tool has two purposes: The first goal is to
stabilize the projector. In other words, this is to control the projector so
that it remains conform to the target situation as defined in the MediCal
Pro preset.
The second function of the software is to allow the user to perform
some of the projector’s controls without using the projector’s remote
control unit.
Stabilizer status
The icons
The application is a sys-tray application, which means an icon appears
in the system bar of Windows, indicating the presence of this
application.
The icon in the sys-tray indicates the status of the stabilization tool:
The application is stabilizing:
The application is not stabilizing:
Tooltips
Navigate the cursor over the icon. A tooltip appears indicating the
target to which the projector is being stabilized.
If the stabilizer is currently switched off, the tool tip will say: "Not
stabilizing".
In case the stabilization was terminated due to a problem with the
communication with the projector, the text will say: "No connection with
projector".
Stopping and starting stabilization
Introduction
Stabilization starts automatically after the projector was calibrated from
MediCal Pro.
The stabilization process can be stopped and restarted explicitly by the
user using the Dicom Theater application.
System manual DICOM Theater 75
Page 75
However, if the stabilization process terminates automatically, then the
user cannot restart it again via the application. The user is required to
go to MediCal Pro and activate the preset of her or his choice. This will
re-activate the stabilization process.
E.g., in case the user switches inputs or presets by means of the
projector’s remote control unit, stabilization will stop automatically. It
can be re-started only by activating a preset in MediCal Pro.
Stopping stabilization manually
If for some reason you wish to stop the projector stabilization (e.g., in
case there is too much ambient light), proceed as follows:
1 Position the cursor over the Dicom Theater sys-tray icon and click
the right mouse button (“right-click”).
The Dicom Theater menu appears.
2 Click Stop St abilizer.
The stabilization process will stop.

Troubleshooting the stabilization process
The projector stabilization has stopped unexpectedly
Possible causes:
• No communication with projector. The projector may be switched
off, removed, or the RS-232 cable may be disconnected at the
projector’s or PC’s side.
• No communication with optical sensor. The sensor connection to
the PC may be disconnected.
• The optical sensor is not or no longer positioned on the sensor
patch.
• The user has selected another signal input or another preset for the
projector.
In all of these cases, you must restore any problems in the
connections (if appropriate). Then you must run MediCal Pro and
select the proper Preset. This should restart the stabilization.

The PC does not boot or does not recognise the keyboard
after booting.
When a USB keyboard and the optical sensor are both connected to
the PC’s USB bus, there may be a problem at start-up. This is not the
case on all PCs.
A workaround is to connect the keyboard to the PS/2 connector.
