Overview

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Barco.

MVGD 1318 CR/ER display

The MVGD 1318 CR/ER is a 18.1-inch grayscale LCD display with a native
resolution of 1280 x 1024.

Its high-brightness, combined with image crispness and excellent
viewing angle, makes it an ideal solution for a multitude of medical
applications and environments.

Long-term stabilization

The display contains a Backlight Output Stabilization system (BLOS

©

),
which continuously stabilizes the luminance output of the LCD’s
backlight. This improves the overall optical efficiency and provides long­term image confidence.

Ambient Light Compensation (ALC)

When enabled, the ALC system automatically adapts the display light
output, depending on the ambient light in the room. The ambient light
is measured by the ALC optical sensor located at the front of the display.

Power saving

The display is equipped with a power saving system. When left idle for a
certain time, the computer connected to the display, will power down
the display.

The power saving system can be switched on or off using the on-screen
display.

The power saving system works with the standard Windows power
saving and with the DPMS function on the Barco BarcoMed display
controller (if installed in the PC).

Cleaning

Precautions

• Take care not to damage or scratch the glass or LCD panel.

• Do not apply pressure on the glass or LCD panel.

• Do not apply or spray liquid directly to the glass, panel or
cabinet as excess liquid may cause damage to internal
electronics. Instead, apply the liquid to the cleaning cloth.

•DO NOT USE:

- Lye or cleaning solutions containing lye*

- Acid

- Detergents with fluoride

- Detergents with ammonia

- Detergents with abrasives

- Steel wool

- Sponge with abrasives

- Cloth with thread made of steel

- Other coarse tools

*(Lye is a strong caustic alkaline solution of potassium salts.)

Panel

Important:

We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a Barco service
center. If not, you must perform the cleaning in a clean and dust-free
environment.

1. If there are dust particles on the LCD panel, blow them away by

using a dust remover. E.g., DUST OFF 67 (KONTAKT Chemie).

A dust remover is composed of a blend of compressed liquid gases
functioning as propellant. They provide a jet of dry inert gas that

Cleaning

46

acts like compressed air for a quick and safe removal of dust
particles and other dry contaminants on the surface of the lcd
panel or the glass panel.

Attention: The dust remover contains a liquid gas. If you shake the
can or move the can too fast while spraying, you may blow drops
of liquid on the panel surface!

If this is the case, clean the panel as described below.

2. If the LCD panel is dirty or wet, take a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth

and lightly moisten the cloth with a solution of 25% Isopropyl
Alcohol (IPA) and 75% de-ionized or distilled water. E.g.: Cleareen,
a product of Certified Laboratories.

3. Gently clean the panel with the moist cloth.

4. Take another clean, dry, soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the

glass dry.

Cabinet

• Clean the cabinet using a recognized cleaning product for
medical equipment. The cloth you use must be moist, not wet!

• Repeat with water only and wipe dry with a dry cloth.

• The cabinet has been tested for resistance to the following
products:

Cidex, Betadine, Alcohol (Isopropyl and Ethyl), Ammonia-based
cleaners (Windex) and Aquasonic Gel.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

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.

Problems and solutions

Problem description Possible tests or solutions

Screen remains black • Please check the installation

procedure in this manual

• If the LED at the front is orange, the
display is in stand-by

• Check in the Windows Display
Properties if the display controller
video heads are attached. If not, there
will be no image on the screen.

• The external power supply may be
defective

Image exhibits noise or
interference

• The video cable may be of poor
quality

• DVI video cable may not be firmly
connected to the PC or to the display

• Display may need Phase and
Frequency adjustments (if analog
video is selected)

Image contains missing
pixels

• A number of missing pixels may be
normal (inherent in LCD technology)

The PC does not start up • Check the CMOS settings in the PC

BIOS

• The display controller may not be
firmly seated in the PCI connector

Troubleshooting

48

Nothing happens when
you press or rotate the
control wheel

• The User Controls may be disabled.
Please read the paragraph about the
“User Controls” function.

The image is non-pro­portionally spread out
over the screen

• Select another resolution in the
Windows “Display Properties” control
panel

• Switch the “Scaling” function
(Geometry menu) in the display OSD
to “None” or “Best Fit”

The image on the
screen is rotated 90°

• Select another resolution in the
Windows “Display Properties” control
panel

The previous image
remains slightly visible
on the screen

• This phenomenon, called “image
sticking” is normal if the same image
has been on the screen for a long
time. The ghost image will disappear
after some time.
Over 10 hours operation with the
same image content is not
recommended. Switching on the
display DPMS may decrease the risk of
image sticking.

• A slight case of image sticking can be
solved by continuously displaying a
full white image during a number of
hours.

On a dual-head system,
the images on the left
and right display seem
to be switched

• Switch the video cables at the display
controller or at the display video
inputs

Display Function

A Display Function describes how a display device converts the video
signals at the inputs into light.

In the context of a medical viewing station, a display device is the
combination of display controller (graphics board) and display.

The display function is a graph that shows how the light from the
display panel evolves from minimum to maximum luminance while the
data levels at the input of the display controller go from 0 to maximum.

DICOM

DICOM stands for Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. It is
a standard developed by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and
the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA).

The standard specifies how digital image data can be moved from
system to system.

In addition, Supplement 28 Part 14 specifies a function that relates pixel
values to displayed Luminance levels and is called Grayscale Standard
Display Function.

Presets and Internal memory system

The memory of the display contains minimum 70 fixed and 59
programmable Presets.

When you connect a video signal, the display checks in the memory for
a matching Preset.

If it finds one, it selects the corresponding settings and parameters from
the memory. If it does not find a matching Preset, the display uses
default settings to display the image.

When you make adjustments and save the changes, the current Preset
is saved as programmable Preset. If this happens while all
programmable Presets are occupied, the oldest programmable Preset is
overwritten automatically.
