Video connection Video connection Connecting DVI cables: One display: Figure 15 Connect one end of the DVI cable to the DVI input of the display. Connect the other end of the DVI cable to the DVI connector of the display controller board. If this board has 2 video heads (2 video outputs), connect to output Vid 1 (Head A).
USB connection USB connection The USB connection allows you to use the display as USB hub, to which you can connect USB devices, such as a keyboard, mouse or digital camera. To connect the USB cable: Figure 16 Connect a PC USB downstream connector to the display’s USB upstream connector by means of a USB cable.
Cable routing Cable routing Routing the signal cables • Bind the cables in the connector compartment together with the cable tie inside the connector compartment. • Put the connector compartment cover back on the display. Pay attention that the signal cables are positioned under the bulge in the cover.

Avoiding image retention Avoiding 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.
Page 61
Avoiding image retention To activate appropriate screen saving, proceed as follows: In the display OSD menus, open the Settings menu and switch DPMS on. For more information, please consult the display operation chapter. In Windows, open the Display control panel. Open the Screen Saver tab.

Select the “Barco” tab from the Properties screen. Using the Barco tab The Barco tab is divided into three sections. The first section provides information about the graphics controller and allows access to the graphics controller advanced configuration pages. The second section provides information about the display.

• the BarcoMed Driver Tab, • the BarcoMed Hardware Tab, and • the BarcoMed Display Tab. Barco Drawing Modes The Barco Drawing Modes page of the Advanced Properties page is divided into four sections: Palette Mode, Drawing Modes, Monitor Configuration, Graphics Board. Palette Mode In the Palette Mode section you can choose one of the four following Palette Modes.
Page 68
BarcoMed control panel operation applications that are designed to work correctly with 8-bit (256-color) modes should continue to work normally. Ditherng is not used while in this mode. Also, direct access to the Note: hardware through DirectDraw is not allowed in this mode. User Modifiable Color Palette This option allows applications to modify the palette contents dynamically.

BarcoMed control panel operation while maintaining compatibility with the Windows graphics device interface (GDI). DirectDraw is enabled by default. More information about DirectDraw is available through the on-line 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.
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 if and when a firmware update is required.
Display operation Display operation Operating precautions Continuous operation of the display with the same image may result in some image sticking on the LCD panel. Over 10 hours operation with the same image content is not recommended. Switching on DPMS on display and PC and activating a good screen saver may decrease the risk of image sticking (image retention).
Display operation About the On-Screen Display (OSD) About the on-screen display The on-screen display (OSD) has a hierarchical tree structure, with several levels. The top level is the “Main Menu”. MFGD X621 MAIN MENU Luminance Settings Information EXIT Figure 24: Main menu in standard mode How to navigate through the OSD When the OSD is not on the screen, rotate the control wheel to display the OSD.
Display operation To exit from a menu, rotate the control wheel to select EXIT and press the control wheel shortly. If you exit from the Main Menu, you exit the OSD. To change an adjustment value (e.g., the luminance value), rotate the control wheel to select the adjustment and press the wheel shortly.
