1.3 Contents of the user manual

1.3.1 Introductory notes on the content

The user manual is divided in different sections. The sections that are relevant to the reader may
depend on the readers’ experience level.

Get an image on the screen in 5 minutes: After reading the important notices and safety
introduction in the chapter “Introduction”, the information provided in the chapter “First operation”
will guide the user through the process of switching on and viewing an input signal on the display
unit.

made for the most frequent operations the user would like to execute. It will help the user to solve
the question quickly, since it is built up as a non chronological guide.

Basic knowledge of the display unit, expert question: The chapter “full functionality
description” contains all there is to know about the display unit. The information is ordered in a

chronological way.

2.4 How to register the display unit

During the first 200 hours of operation, all features on the display are enabled, so you are able to
use your display straight out of the box.

In order to continue using your product after that initial grace period, you need to install a valid
license file (which enables the software configuration you have purchased). The license file can be
obtained from our website (as explained in this document). Of course you can install a license file
before the grace period has passed, which will immediately limit the features to the ones you have
purchased.

In the box of each display unit there is an envelope with a license sheet for the product flavor you
have purchased (B or P). If you have purchased any optional ‘feature packs’, there are also
envelopes with license information for each feature pack.

The product, the license sheets for the basic flavor (B or P) and any additional license sheet, all
have their own unique pincodes that have to be registered on our website, before activating your
product.

Overview of the basic steps:

1. Switch on the display unit. Consult the installation section of this manual to install the display

unit. What happens after start-up depends on the license grace period.

• If the license grace period is still in effect, you are able to use the monitor and all its features.
The remaining grace period is shown in the top right corner.

First operation

To register the unit on the website, you will need the current pincode. To obtain it, press Menu
and scroll down to the License submenu. The current pincode is displayed there.

the USB stick in each monitor that has been registered and wait 1-2s. until it becomes activated.

• The display unit will recognize the license file automatically. The following message appears
when the update is successful. The display unit should function immediately.

IMPORTANT

:

Important note: Only license files with a filename “barcoLicense” (case sensitive, no extensions) will be recognized
by the RHDM. If you obtain a file that has additional information in its name (such as customer reference, serial

number etc), then rename the file to barcoLicense for purposes of license upload, and keep a copy of the original
file for your records.

IMPORTANT

Important note: Verify that the USB stick used to install the license file does not contain a RHDM softwa r e pa ck a g e
(xxx.deb) or a 3D LUT file (3d.lut) in its root. Software updates always have priority and will prevent the license
from being installed.

9. Troubleshooting

• If the registration process produces an error, check if the license codes were entered correctly. If
the problem persists, contact Barco.

• You might by mistake assign the wrong license to a monitor with a particular S/N. (e.g. a moni­tor that is installed at a certain position). This can be corrected.

First, upload the wrong license file to the monitor.
Generate a new pincode via the monitor’s OSD (see following section).
Register this pincode on the website, as explained previously.
The website will ‘release’ that particular monitor and the (wrong) license previously associ-

ated with it

Assign that license to the correct monitor.

User settings can be stored in a so-called preset. There are up to 6 possible presets. The first one is
the factory preset and contains the default user settings, the next five can be used by the user to
store settings.

New settings can be loaded from one of the defined presets, which involves overwriting the current
user settings with the values defined in the preset.

Presets can be transfered from one RHDM monitor to another via USB.

Use case example:

Suppose preset 1 was loaded and is thus the current active preset.

3.15 How to use the 3D-LUT feature

3.15.1 Use case

Post-production professionals must deal with different type of source content that must be
conformed, edited, color-graded and finished before the final deliverable is produced. The different
types of content have different properties in terms of gamma, color gamut, white point, contrast
etc. The used preview display devices also have different properties than the intended deliverable
or target medium.
So a level of color consistency is needed, not only making different types of content look correct on
the preview device, but also making the preview device look like the intended target medium.

This color consistency is achieved by using color/gamut mapping. A practical way of gamut
mapping is to use look-up tables, that transform a given signal value to a new value. The used tool
for gamut mapping is a three-dimensional look-up table (3D-LUT).

Currently the monitor supports three types of user 3D-LUT files: Truelight, Cinespace and
Autodesk.

A user 3D-LUT file can be uploaded to the monitor either via the web interface or via a USB stick.
The activation of the 3D-LUT can be done via the “User 3D LUT” web interface or via OSD menu

“Input settings”.

• Place the USB stick in a USB port of the display unit at the back of the display unit.

• The display unit will search for the latest software upload file. The following warning window
appears on the screen

• The display unit will automatically start the software upload after
unit is powered off or the USB stick is removed. When the display unit is busy with the upload of
the new software, the following warning is shown on the screen:
