Barco Coronis 2MP Brochure & Specs page 7

Impressive performance in
2D and 3D
As image data sets become
larger with every new
generation of acquisition
devices, patient throughput
becomes an ever increasing concern.
In line with this evolution, Barco
combines the Coronis displays with a
high-performance, 10-bit ATI FireGL
graphics processing unit based on the
PCI Express interface. The powerful
display controller is your guarantee for
ultra-fast and smooth image loading,
roaming and manipulation in 2D and
3D.
With medical software applications
increasingly relying on OpenGL 2.0
or Microsoft DirectX 9.0, Barco also
provides specific support for 3D enabled
medical software applications. This
results in dedicated driver solutions
that make medical applications run
faster and more efficiently.
High-performance display controller for
maximum speed and precision
Worry-free DICOM
compliance under all
lighting conditions
The integrated
continually guards
adjusts the luminance
output of the diagnostic
viewing area. Combined with the
MediCal QAWeb software, the patented
I-Guard brings fast and easy calibrations,
automatic Quality Assurance testing
and remote diagnoses of the display.
The latest version of I-Guard has been
further improved with increased read-
out speed and enhanced sensitivity
down to the lowest luminance levels.
The intelligent Ambient
Compensation (ALC) system assures
that Coronis systems remain DICOM
compliant under all lighting conditions
by adapting their brightness relative
to the ambient light conditions. If
the level of ambient light no longer
corresponds to the predefined range,
users will automatically be notified.
Continuous diagnostic confidence thanks to
I-Guard technology
Uniform image rendering
across the entire screen
I-Guard While
and display systems typically
suffer
non-uniformities
30%, the new Coronis displays deliver
perfectly balanced luminance over the
entire screen. Based on an individual
characterization of the image down
to pixel level, the proprietary Uniform
Luminance Technology (ULT) corrects
non-uniformities caused by the LCD
as well as the backlight. Thanks to
this technology, diagnostic images are
Light DICOM-conform not just in the center
but everywhere on the screen.
