Recommendations for using your display system

1. Optimize the lifetime of your display

Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display (in the display’s Settings menu) will optimize its diagnostic lifetime by automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time. By default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do this, go to “Power Options Properties” in the “Control Panel”.

Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of non-usage.

2. Use a screen saver to avoid image retention

Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same screen area may result in a form of image retention.

You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon by using a screen saver. You can activate a screen saver in the “Display properties” window of your workstation.

Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes of non-usage. A good screen saver displays moving content.

In case you are working with the same image or an application with static image elements for several hours continuously (so that the screen saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid image retention of the static elements.

3. Understand pixel technology

LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in the manufacturing of the LCD, a limited number of these pixels may remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic performance of the product. To ensure optimal product quality, Barco applies strict selection criteria for its LCD panels.

To learn more about LCD technology and missing pixels, consult the dedicated white paper available at www.barcomedical.com.

Recommendations for using your display system

4. Enhance user comfort

Every Barco multi-head display system is color matched with the highest specification in the market.

Barco recommends keeping color-matched displays together. Furthermore, it is important to use all displays of a multi-head configuration at the same rate to preserve color matching throughout the economic lifetime of the system.

5. Maximize Quality Assurance

The ‘MediCal QAWeb’ system offers online service for high-grade Quality Assurance, providing maximum diagnostic confidence and uptime.

How to avoid image retention

Image retention (image sticking, ghost image) is the phenomenon where an image, or a part of it, seems to be ‘burnt’ in the LCD panel. When you display e.g. a uniform light gray image you distinguish the ghost image in the background.

This phenomenon occurs on all types of LCD panels when a static image remains on the screen for a long time (unfortunately the exact period is not predictable). Also parts of the image that do not change often (e.g., toolbars, buttons, borders) are susceptible to image retention.

Image retention may be undone in some cases, but it may also damage the LCD panel permanently. So it is better to take precautions during product installation to avoid it.

Here are some countermeasures you can take:

Power off, power save mode, screen saver

Very important is to use screen savers and power saving modes as much as possible. If you do not need the display for a few hours, switch it off. If you only need to look at it when you actually do something on the screen, use a screen saver.

The amount of “relaxation” time should be considerable, the more you do it the better. “Flashing” the screen for a few seconds with a screen saver is not sufficient. Image retention is a slow process to build up, but it also disappears slowly.

Re-Layout

In most applications, a display is used to show a layout of several components with borders. Whereas the content in these windows can change continuously, the borders are static images and may cause boundary image retention. The layout of the windows (size, number of windows, etc.) should be changed as much as possible.

How to avoid image retention

To activate appropriate screen saving, proceed as follows:

1. In the display OSD menus, open the Settings menu and switch

DPMS on. For more information, please consult the display

operation chapter.

2. In Windows, open the Display control panel. Open the Screen

Saver tab.

3. Select a screen saver from the Screen saver drop-down box.

4. Set the Wait time to 10 minutes.

5. Click the button Power... The Power Options Properties dialog

opens.

6. In the Turn off monitor drop-down box, select After 20 mins.

7. Click Apply.

8. Close the control panel.

• OpenGL Profiles

ARCO CORONIS 5MP Display System,

Barco Adapter Configuration

The Barco Adapter Configuration page allows you to switch between the following monitor configurations and display options for the displays connected to a Barco MXRT controller:

Display Layout

• DualView

Both displays are enabled independent of each other.

• SingleView

A single large desktop spans across both displays.

•Clone

The primary display is cloned to the secondary display.

Color Format

• 24-Bit TrueColor Mode

• 30-Bit TrueColor Mode (HDR)

Display Resolution

Sets display resolution for 1 or 2 displays.

Note: To switch out of SingleView or Clone mode, the buttons in

this Control Panel page must be used. The main Windows Control Panel cannot be used. Depending on your system, certain configurations can be disabled.

Note: Clone Mode is supported for two color displays or

projectors in 32bpp. Clone mode is not supported on grayscale displays. Also, HDR is not supported while in Clone Mode.

When choosing Clone Mode under the Barco Adapter Configuration page, if two displays are enabled, then the larger of the two current resolutions will be used. If only one of the two displays is enabled, the enabled displayís current resolution will be used.

When the resolution set for clone mode is larger then the maximum supported on a display, the resolution set on the Master will automatically be scaled to maximum resolution of the Cloned display. If the Scale to Display Preferred Mode is checked, the maximum resolution will be the EDID preferred mode. If it is unchecked, then it will be the largest mode in the Cloned displays mode list. Clone mode can only be exited through the Barco Adapter Configuration page in the Barco Advanced Control Panel.

Note: Not all options are available at all times. Please select the

help tips in the driver software for more information.

OpenGL and Direct3D

The OpenGL and Direct3D pages of the Advanced Properties page are divided into two sections: Main Settings and Custom Settings.

BarcoMed control panel settings Single Source Master

Main Settings

In the Main Settings section there is a slider bar which allows the user to adjust the OpenGL or Direct3D settings for optimum performance, optimum quality or for a point in between. There is also a checkbox provided for enabling Custom Settings.

Custom Settings

Note: Barco recommends that you use the default settings, unless your viewing application vendor provides detailed information on custom settings.

In the Custom Settings section the user can fine tune the following options:

• Anisotropic filtering

• SMOOTHVISION

• Wait for Vertical Sync

Antisotropic filtering

Anisotropic filtering is a technique that preserves detail on surfaces that have three-dimensional perspective and fade away into the background. It works best when used in conjunction with Mipmapping.

Anisotropic filtering can be set to favor either an increase in system processing performance or improved image quality.

Note: If you are unsure how to configure anisotropic filtering, use

the Application Preference option. Your display will automatically adjust to the application’s requirements.

Please refer to the on-line help (click on the “?” in the control panel’s openGL tab) for more information on using advanced features such as Anisotropic Filtering.

SMOOTHVISION

The Advanced Settings tab enables you to apply ATI’s SMOOTHVISION technology for full-scene anti-aliasing. SMOOTHVISION improves image quality by removing jagged

edges (anti-aliasing) from 3D images, resulting in smoother, more natural looking objects.

Please refer to the on-line help for more information on using advanced features such as SMOOTHVISION.

Wait for Vertical Sync

• For OpenGL the default setting is Default Off.

• For Direct3D the default setting is Application Preference.

Please refer to the on-line help for more information on using advanced features such as Wait for Vertical Sync.

Rotation

The Rotation page is visible only when the display connected to the current (active) head of your Barco MXRT display controller does not support rotation internally. The Rotation feature allows the user to rotate the Windows desktop to match the physical orientation of the display.

(Device) Details

The Details page provides detailed information about the display controller connected to the active display. This information is useful in debugging issues that may occur when using your Coronis 5MP(s).

OpenGL Profiles

The Configuration page enables you to customize display profiles for individual applications. Typically, you would change these settings for one or more of the following reasons:

• Diagnostic purposes.

• Fine-tuning a specific application/system configuration.

• Specific settings recommended by your hardware or

software documentation.

• Tuning your application/system environment for best

performance and memory usage.

BarcoMed control panel settings Single Source Master

Activating a configuration profile

The Configuration Profiles list box displays a number of common applications whose optimal configuration profile are factory-set by default.

To activate a particular profile, select the application name from the list and click Apply. This will add the information to the necessary Windows registry settings. If prompted, restart Windows.

If you subsequently experience problems with your application, or if you want to try to optimize the performance of your system on specific applications, modify your configuration settings accordingly.

Adding a new application profile

Click the Add button in the Configuration Profiles section and enter the name of the new application for which you want to set the configuration parameters.

Modifying the configuration parameters

To change the configuration settings of a specific application, select the name of that application from the Configuration Profiles list box. Click the Modify button. Now select or clear the rest of the configuration controls on this tabbed dialog to obtain the desired display parameters for the selected application.

To remove the selected configuration profile completely, select the name of the application from the Configuration Profiles list box and click Delete.

Note: You cannot delete the factory-set configuration profiles.

Click the Apply or OK button to enable your Configuration settings.

Advanced Properties for BarcoMed Coronis or BarcoMed Nio

Palette modes

From the Barco Drawing Modes tab you can select one of four palette modes.

• Color to Gray compatibility

• User Modifiable Color Palette

• Static Gray Palette including standard system colors

• Static Gray Palette with NO system colors

User Modifiable Color Palette

This option allows applications to modify the palette contents dynamically. As indicated in figure 2, this mode reserves the first 10 and last 10 entries in the palette for the Windows operating system, but applications can manipulate the middle 236 entries. This is the standard palette mode as configured by Windows.

Figure 2/ User Modifiable Palette

Note: If you are unsure whether or not your application requires this “User Modifiable Color” mode, contact your application provider.

Static Gray Palette including standard system colors

This option sets the palette to be a static set of 256 gray values. Applications are denied the ability to dynamically change or allocate palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts between

BarcoMed control panel settings Single Source Master

applications, which can cause image color values to appear distorted in the background application.

As shown in figure 3, the 20 standard system colors are converted from RGB to gray values. The rest of the 236 entries from index 10 to 245 contain the missing gray values so that the palette has the full 256 gray values within it.

Figure 3: Static Gray Palette with system colors

Note: If you are unsure whether or not your application requires this “Static Gray Palette with System colors” mode, contact your application provider.

Static Gray Palette with NO system colors

This option sets the palette to be a static linear ramp of 256 shades of gray. Therefore, applications are denied the ability to dynamically change or allocate palette entries. This prevents palette conflicts between applications, which can cause image color values to appear distorted in the background application.

As shown in figure 4, each of the 256 entries in the palette has an RGB value of (i, i, i) where i is the index from 0 to 255.

Figure 4: Static Gray Palette with NO system colors

If you wish to use a static gray palette we recommend using the “Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors” option instead of this one. This is due to the fact that some applications assume that the first and last 10 entries of the palette are the

standard system colors. In this palette mode, these entries are made up from entries in the bottom or the top of the gray ramp.

Note: If you are unsure whether or not your application requires

this “Static Gray Palette with NO System colors” mode, contact your application provider.

More information about Palette Modes is available through the on-line help.

Drawing Modes

In the Drawing Mode section you can choose from the following Drawing Modes. If any of the options in this section are grayed out, then they are not available for the model controller with which you are working.

Enable DirectDraw

This option allows the user to enable or disable DirectDraw. DirectDraw is a software interface that provides direct access to display devices while maintaining compatibility with the Windows graphics device interface (GDI). DirectDraw is enabled by default.

More information about DirectDraw is available through the online help.

Enable Dithering

This option allows the user to enable or disable dithering. Dithering is a technique for increasing the perceived range of colors in an image at the cost of spatial resolution.

Note: This option is only available when the User Modifiable

Palette mode is selected. If either the Static Gray Palette including Standard System Colors mode or the Static Gray Palette with NO System colors mode is selected, the “Enable Dithering”

check box will be grayed-out, and dithering will be automatically disabled.

BarcoMed control panel settings Single Source Master

Disable 10-bit grayscale

Use this option for standard Windows®-based applications that require 8-bit color support (256 colors), such as Internet Explorer, Excel, etc.

Do not use this option for applications that require 10-bit pixel support (1024 simultaneous shades of gray) and use extended depth graphic libraries such as WinBarco.

Description of 10-bit grayscale

To show 1024 simultaneous shades of gray all BarcoMed “H” series display controllers, such as the BarcoMed 5MP2FH, BarcoMed Coronis or BarcoMed Coronis 5MP for example, run in extended depth (10-bit) mode by default.

Implications

When turned on the “Disable Extended Depth” option causes a BarcoMed Coronis display controller to run in 8-bit mode, which results in increased performance since the frame buffer is set to run with 8-bit pixels. While this option may be used with applications that normally require 10-bit support, there will be a loss of pixel depth, i.e. 256 shades of gray instead of 1024 simultaneous shades of gray.

Disable RGB To Static Gray Color Translation

Select Disable RGB To Static Gray Color Translation if you wish to have RGB values equally weighted, with 1/3 each. When not selected, then the International Commission on Illumination (CIE – Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage) model will be adapted, which weights the colors as 59% Green, 30% Red, 11% Blue.

Monitor Configuration

The Monitor configuration page allows you to switch between the following monitor configurations for the displays connected to a BarcoMed controller:

• SingleView

A single large desktop spans across both displays.

• DualView

Both displays are enabled independent of each other.

Graphics Board

Update Firmware... Button: Clicking this button will launch the BarcoMed Hardware Configuration utility. This program allows the user to flash update the firmware stored in the ROM of the currently selected BarcoMed display controller. The BarcoMed Hardware Configuration utility is implemented in a Wizard format, which guides the user through the flash update procedure. The user will be prompted to select a firmware update file to use for the update process. This file will be provided by Barco Medical Imaging Systems if and when a firmware update is required.

Device Details

From the Device Details tab you can access the Device Details page, which provides detailed information about the display controller connected to the active display. This information is useful in debugging issues that may occur when using your MFGD 5421(s).

About this chapter

Important

The functions described in this chapter are intended for trained service staff only!

Improper use of these functions may disorder the display. BARCO cannot be held responsible for the results or damage caused by improper use of these functions.

This chapter describes only the Advanced functions in the OSD menus. For a description of the other functions (standard functions), please refer to the previous chapter, Operation .

In this chapter, we assume the advanced user knows how to use the OSD system: How to browse through the menus, how to enter menus and sub-menus, how to select and change values.

These actions are described in the previous chapter.

Maintenance

Panel

Take care not to damage or scratch the panel. Clean with a soft woolen or cotton towel lightly moistened with plain water.

Cabinet

Do not use chemical cleaning products, benzene, toluene, xylene or other solvents. Clean with a soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water. Repeat with water only and wipe dry with a dry cloth.

Removing dust from the rear of the glass panel

It may be possible that dust particles have entered the display and are stuck to the rear of the glass.

We recommend to let this cleaning procedure be done in a Barco service center.

However, when really necessary, you can perform the cleaning on site if you can work in conditions that are as clean and dustfree as possible. This is to avoid more dust entering the display when opening it.

To remove the glass panel:

1. Switch off the display.

2. Tilt the panel.

Figure 5

Maintenance

3. Unscrew the 4 sunken screws at the rear, fixing the glass panel and bezel.

4. Unplug the cable plugged in on the bezel.

5. Remove the bezel with glass panel.

Cleaning instructions:

• Dust, fingerprints, grease etc. can be removed by using a soft damp cloth lightly moistened with plain water.

• Do not apply liquid directly to the LCD surface as excess liquid may cause damage to internal electronics.

• Take care not to touch the I-guard light sensor on the LCD panel.

Troubleshooting

Windows does not show the desired display settings

Should you have problems selecting display settings for portrait oriented displays in the Windows Display Properties control panel, disable the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display in the control panel (see below).

Figure 6

Information:

The display contains a special memory chip that contains information about the display's scanning capabilities. When Windows starts up, it reads the contents from this memory and presents a number of display settings in the Display Properties control panel, based on this information.

The memory of this display contains the information the display can handle scanning systems up to 120 Hz. That is why Windows will propose a display setting with a high refresh rate. However, it is best to select a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

The information that the display can be used in portrait mode, is also stored in the display memory. However, Windows does not recognize this and presents only default landscape modes if the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display in the control panel is enabled.

Pixel Faults

Permanently dark or bright pixels can happen to TFT displays. 20 or less permanently dead pixels do not make out a good case for exchanging the unit.

Please contact our Customer Service Department if the number of pixel faults exceeds the above-mentioned figure.
