Troubleshooting

General tips

General tips

• If one display from a multi-head system exhibits problems, try

to eliminate the problem by switching video cables or power
supplies. In that way you can find out if the problem resides in
the display or not.

Configuring the Windows desktop

Note: In order to configure the Windows Desktop of your BARCO
C

ORONIS Display System you must be logged in using an account

with administrator privileges.

If you are using a color display in conjunction with your Barco grayscale
display(s) or you have you should configure your desktop before setting
the resolution of the your Barco grayscale display(s).

Note: If you are using Barco Coronis Color displays and have
selected the one of the two Static Gray palette modes for them,
you should follow these guidelines also.

Recommended Configuration

The recommended configuration for best grayscale image quality when
using a color display in conjunction with your high-resolution grayscale
display(s) is to set the color display as the primary monitor of the
Windows desktop. Then set the colors setting on the “Settings” tab of
the Windows Display Control Panel 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). You should set the palette mode
for the your high-resolution grayscale displays to Static Gray palette
with NO system colors. This guarantees that the all of the 256 gray
levels available for GDI graphics will be present. This also eliminates the

General tips

67

danger that colors will change when focus moves among different
applications.

However, if you are using the Color to Gray Compatibility 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, Barco recommends 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 of
the Windows desktop.

Setting the resolution of your BARCO CORONIS Display

Note: In order to set the resolution of your BARCO CORONIS Display
you must be logged in using an account with administrator
privileges.

1. Open the “Windows Display Control Panel” by one of the two

methods below:

a) Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display

or

b) Open the “Display Properties Control Panel” by right

clicking in an empty area on the desktop, then select
Properties.

2. Click on the Settings tab.

3. Select the rectangle that represents the Barco Coronis display

whose settings you wish to change.

Note: If you are using the VGA capabilities of your Coronis
display controller, the resolution for the first display may be set to
a VGA resolution of “640 x 480” pixels with 16 colors and a default
refresh rate. If your Coronis controller is not running VGA, the
display may not be enabled yet. To enable the display, check the
“Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor” checkbox, but
do NOT click the Apply button at this time.

General tips

68

If you installed your BARCO CORONIS Display System drivers in
SingleView mode (default for Windows 2000) there will be one
rectangle for the virtual display representing the two heads
controlled by each Coronis display controller.

If you installed your B

ARCO CORONIS Display System drivers in

DualView mode (default for Windows XP) there will be a rectangle
representing each head controlled by each Coronis display
controller. This will be true even if you have only one display
connected to your Coronis controller. Both displays of a display
controller cannot be enabled at the same time unless their display
properties match. If necessary detach the second display of the
Coronis 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

4. For the display which is still attached click Click on the Advanced

Button.

5. Select the Adapter tab and then click on the List All Modes

button. Select the resolution and refresh rate that your B

ARCO

C

ORONIS Display 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.

6. 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.

7. Click OK in the “Windows will now apply your new desktop

settings” dialog box. Your B

ARCO CORONIS Display display should

now synchronize and display the Windows desktop.

8. Click Yes when asked, “Your desktop has been reconfigured. Do

you want to keep these settings?”

General tips

69

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”. If
necessary 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 5-8 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.

Note: 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.

After enabling 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.
