®

Pro

About the separate components

The BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller generates the images
for the display and the projector. It is a dual-head board with two
video outputs, which allows it to 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 D5 projector has multiple inputs, allowing it to be used for projecting the medical images on a large screen or displaying other images, like text, spreadsheets, presentations, etcetera.

The LCD display is used as review display in the MGP D5 Dicom
Theater system. Calibration and stabilization of the display is

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 17

Introduction

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 TheaterWatch software is a systray tool normally operating in background, which enables you to calibrate the projector(s) based on a visual algorithm.

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 5: 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

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 31

Display controller installation

figure 6 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 6

In figure 6 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.

Figure 7: PCI and RAID Controller Slots

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 31), 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 7 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.

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 33

Display controller installation

6. Connect the primary display to the connector marked “VID 1”
on the BarcoMed 2MP2CP display controller using the
provided DVI cable (see figure 8). For a dual-headed
BarcoMed 2MP2CP 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 2MP2CP Display Controllers in a single host

The physical order of the displays may vary when you are
running multiple BarcoMed 2MP2CP 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.

detailed customer contact information. After completion of the
customer contact information screen, the Wizard will then ask
the user to provide a description of the problem, and prompt the
user to enter the Medical Viewing Applications that they are
using. The Wizard will then automatically collect the diagnostic
information from the user’s system. When completed, the Wizard
will alert the user of completion and open the report. The report
is saved in an HTML format file on the user’s desktop.

Welcome Screen

The Welcome screen reminds the user to close all applications before starting the wizard. The screens that follow guide the user through gathering pertinent diagnostic data that will help in determining the root of the problem.

Customer Information Screen

All fields on this screen must be filled in. This screen asks the
user for contact information that will help the Barco support team
contact the customer. The user will not be allowed to move
forward to the next screen unless all of the fields are filled in.

Customer Diagnostic Questions Screen

This screen allows the user to tell the Barco ImageCare team as
much as possible about the problem. For the Medical Viewing
Applications Running field, enter the medical applications that
are currently running on the system with the problem. For the
“Any Applications using DIMPL” question, select the “radio
button” that applies to the correct response. For the “Detailed

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

Introduction

The Barco DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) Screen
Saver allows the user to set power and display saving features
for medical displays controlled by BarcoMed display controllers.
At the end of the work day, the display will enter certain DPMS
states as requested by the display controller.

Note: The Barco DPMS Screen Saver will not
connected to a non-Barco 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.

The Barco DPMS Screen Saver can also be used when no one is logged on.

control any displays

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.

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 65

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

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.

Screen Saver During Work Day

Available Savers

Lists the Available Screen Savers.

Settings

Changes settings for the selected screen saver.

66 MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite

Barco DPMS 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:

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.

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 67

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

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
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,

68 MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite

Barco DPMS Screen Saver

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 figure 23 and figure 24 on

page 70).

1. Select the “Barco DPMS Screen Saver” in the “Screen Saver” drop down menu if it is not already selected.

3. Use the default schemes by selecting one of the three default schemes. Click “OK”. Then Click “OK” again.

Note: If you make any changes to any of the settings of one
of the three default schemes, the Current Scheme field will
blank and you MUST SAVE your changes by clicking on the
“Save As ...” button. When you click on the “Save As ...”
button, the name of the last 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 (figure 26 on page 72). 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.

• To adjust display luminance manually, adjust the Luminance
slider. This function is not available for MFCD/MFGD 1218
displays and MGP D5 projectors.

The luminance setting is saved when the system is shut
down.

If the slider is positioned above the CAL mark, the luminance
is in calibrated position, as determined during the latest
calibration. If the slider is not above the CAL mark, the
luminance is not in calibrated position.

Important

If you want the system to be DICOM compliant, you must select the DICOM display function and calibrate the display. After calibration, the luminance must remain in calibrated position to maintain DICOM compliance.

MGP D5 projectors are always automatically calibrated to the DICOM display function.

Using TheaterWatch

3. A wizard starts, guiding you through the calibration procedure. Follow the guidelines in the wizard.

The projector calibration procedure is a combination of
actions in TheaterWatch and projector OSD (on-screen
display) manipulations.

To calibrate a display using the Barco LCD sensor:

1. If you have multiple displays of the same type in the system, consider if you wish to equalize the display you calibrate to a reference display.

Equalization means the luminance of the display you are
calibrating will be matched to the luminance of the reference
display.

If you wish to equalize the display, you must close the
Display Settings dialog and make sure the Equalization
option in the Application Settings dialog is set. See
“Calibration tab” in the description of the Application
Settings dialog.

2. If you have multiple projectors or displays connected (multi­head system), select the display you wish to calibrate by
clicking on the corresponding numbered icon in the Display
Settings dialog.

3. Click the Calibrate button.

4. A message appears, showing the different calibration options.

5. Select “Using the BARCO LCD sensor” and click OK.

This option is grayed in case TheaterWatch does not find a
connected Barco LCD sensor.

6. Follow the guidelines on the screen to complete the calibration successfully.

Note:

If the Equalization option is set in the Application Settings
and TheaterWatch finds at least one other display of the
same type that is calibrated, the “Match with reference”
page appears during the calibration process.

Figure 35: Match with reference

To equalize the display, check the option “Match this display

with display....” and click Next. The display number that

appears in this option, refers to the reference display.

3. Adjust the slider until there is almost no visible difference between the background of the image above the slider and the bitmap inside this image.

4. When done, click button Set point 1 of 20.

5. Repeat this procedure until the button is grayed. This indicates the last point is set.

6. Click OK to finish.

To reset to the latest calibration:

1. Follow step 2 and 3 of the calibration with Barco LCD sensor (see page 91).

2. In the Calibration dialog, check the option Use the latest calibration.

MGP D5 Dicom Theater Lite 93

3. Click the OK button.

The calibration and the luminance will be reset to the latest
calibrated position.

Note:

When you start up the system, the calibration is also reset to
the latest calibrated position. The luminance, however, is
kept at the latest value.

To view a graph showing the result of the latest calibration:

1. In the Calibration tab dialog, click on Show calibration chart.

This button is available only if the display has been
calibrated with a sensor before.

2. A graph is shown displaying the latest calibration compared to the theoretical display function.

To revert to the default factory settings:

1. In the Calibration tab dialog, click on Reset.

2. As a result, the settings are restored to the default factory values.

Here you can check the Equalization option, allowing you to match the displays from a multi-head system to the luminance of the first calibrated display of the system.

Suppose you work with a Dicom Theater system that contains
two displays of the same type, and you wish display (2) to have
the same output luminance as display (1). Therefore first
calibrate display (1). Next, calibrate display (2) while the
Equalization option is checked.

The first calibrated display in the system is the reference display.

The Equalization option will be available only if:

• the system contains at least one display of the same type as
the one being calibrated

• at least one of the displays of the same type has already
been calibrated before using a sensor.

To equalize the displays:

1. Be sure the reference display is calibrated to the desired luminance.

2. Set the Equalization option in the Application Settings dialog.

3. Close the Application Settings dialog.

4. Open the Display Settings dialog and calibrate display (2).

The display will be calibrated and additionally the display
luminance will be matched to the luminance of the reference
display (1).

Figure 40: Displays tab

In this dialog you get a list of Barco display and projector types compatible with TheaterWatch.

If you wish certain displays from your system not to be controlled by TheaterWatch (e.g., because you wish to control them with MediCal Pro), you must deselect them in the list.

There may be systems where both TheaterWatch and MediCal Pro (Barco’s
image conformance and consistency software) are used. MediCal Pro may be

used to control and calibrate the displays and TheaterWatch to control and cali­brate the projector.
In that case, there may be a conflict between TheaterWatch and MediCal Pro:
At start-up of the system, TheaterWatch automatically recognizes the con­nected displays and uploads the display function and luminance selected in
TheaterWatch. In this way, TheaterWatch overwrites display function and lumi­nance that was set and calibrated by MediCal Pro.
To avoid this, deselect the display types controlled by MediCal Pro, and they
will be ignored by TheaterWatch.
