About the Dome Q2 Display

The Dome® Q2 display system consists of a 20.1-inch, TFT LCD panel and an EX2
controller and driver. Specifically, the architecture of the Q2 display incorporates
AMLCD TFT technology to yield higher levels of brightness. The EX2 controller is
an advanced workstation graphics accelerator based on a high-bandwidth, parallel
pipeline geometry and rendering architecture. It supports the landscape-to-portrait
rotation commonly needed for viewing medical images.
Each display is individually characterized and offers the following key features.
See the display specification for more information.
• Maintains mid-level grayscale dynamic range of 766 shades of gray
• Supports video standard of 1600 x 1200
• Maintains high level of brightness, high contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles
• Offers front-panel controls to adjust screen parameters with built-in OSD menus
(See sidebar.)
• Has VESA standard for optional wall-mounting
The EX2 controller supports the AGP 3.0 standard for communication between the
graphics subsystem and the workstation processor and can drive dual digital panels.
See controller specification for more information.
The Dome CXtra software, QX Edition, an optional package, enhances the
functionality of the Q2 display for viewing medical images in referral settings.
Dome CXtra provides a range of value-added services, such as DICOM calibration,
AAPM TG18 acceptance testing, error reporting, and enterprise management.
Before installing the display system, review the
precautions. Once your display system is in operation, follow the guidelines for
cleaning and servicing your unit.
