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 highend projectors, Barco has expanded its LCD and CRT display solutions with a DICOM-compliant projection system, DICOM THEATER®. The 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® display controller and MEDICAL® PRO QA management software. DICOM THEATER® is available in single- and dualhead configurations.

DICOM THEATER® facilitates consulting and reviewing: this ceiling-mount 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.

Introduction

About the separate components

The BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller 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 can be defined to deliver the same video signal or two separate video signals.

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 15 projector is used for projecting the medical images on a large screen. It has multiple inputs, so it can also be used to

Introduction

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 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.

Important installation considerations

1. Make sure all equipment is switched off before installing.

2. In case you use a PCI extension box, please install the box following the guidelines in its Installation or User's guide.

Minimum system requirements

• Windows 2000 (SP4) or Windows XP (SP1)

• Pentium IV microprocessor

• At least 1 free USB and COM port per projector

• A free PCI slot per installed BarcoMed board

BarcoMed 2MP2CP Overview

Display controller installation

Caution: Wear a grounded, protective ESD strap during installation or handling of the display controller. Electrostatic charges can damage the display controller.

Prior to installing your BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller(s) in your PC please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with both the display controller(s) and the PCI slots in your computer.

Figure 6: The BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller

Using the VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller

Prior to installing the BarcoMed 2MP2CP controller, decide if you are going to use its on-board VGA capabilities. If you are, check the setting of the switches at SW1 on the display controller (see

Display controller installation

figure 7 below). By default, VGA should be enabled, switch 1 on and switch 2 off. If you decide to use a separate VGA monitor as your boot monitor, you must disable the BarcoMed 2MP2CP’s onboard VGA capabilities by changing the switch settings to switch 1 off and switch 2 on.

Figure 7

In figure 7 above, the VGA capabilities of the BarcoMed 2MP2CP are enabled.

Caution: To use multiple BarcoMed 2MP2CP controllers in a single host with VGA enabled, you should enable ONE of the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controllers and disable on ALL the other BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controllers.

VGA on only

Examples of PCI slots

The BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller may be installed in either a 32-bit or 64-bit slot with no loss of functionality. Figure figure 8 on page 30 illustrates the types of slots so that you can correctly identify which one to use for the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller and which ones not to use.

Installing the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller

Install the BarcoMed 2MP2CP controller in your computer following these steps:

1. Turn off the power to your computer and disconnect the power cord, however make sure that the computer chassis is still grounded.

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 BarcoMed 2MP2CP controller (see “Using the VGA

capabilities of the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller”

on page 28), you must now remove any VGA controllers that are currently installed in the computer or disable any VGA controllers that are integrated into your PC’s motherboard.

4. Install the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller into a free PCI slot, either 32-bit or 64-bit (see figure 8 above, 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.
