Introduction 9 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview Resolution and bandwidths The BARCO MGD 221 is a high resolution, greyscale portrait display. Its outstanding visual performance, combining a 2 MegaPixel resolution with a high brightness, makes it ideal for medical imaging and many other medical and scientific applications. The MGD 221 is compatible with[...]

Introduction 10 A lot of adjustments can also be done on the monitor itself, by means of an extensive on-screen menu system, accessible from the rear panel controls. Power saving system The MGD 221 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 in severa[...]

Installation 11 2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Precautions • Keep your original packaging. It is designed for this display and is the ideal protection during transport. • Do not lift the display all by yourself to avoid injury. • Avoid reflections in the picture tube to reduce eye strain. • Place the display on a strong and stable table or desk if use[...]

Installation 12 2.3 Controls and connectors 1 {1} Optical sensor plug {2} Ambient Light Compensation (ALC) sensor (optional) {3} Green power LED {4} Control knob, combination of a push button and a turning knob. The control knob is used for switching the power on/off, and selecting and performing functions in the OSD (on-screen display) menu. {5} R[...]

Installation 13 2.4 Signal connection a) Connection of video signals The connected equipment must comply to all relevant safety demands. Important: The use of low-quality video cables can distort the video signal and influence diagnosis. 1. Check the impedance of the imaging board that produces the video signals you want to connect. It must be 75 O[...]

Installation 14 b) Connection of data signals The display can be controlled remotely by a computer through the serial data bus. A typical example of this, is the MediCal software that controls the display. MediCal runs on a PC that is connected through the serial data bus. This PC is not necessarily the same computer as the one that produces the vi[...]

Installation 15 d) Connection of power 1. Power cord: Utilize a UL-listed detachable power cord, 3-wire, type SJ or equivalent, 18 AWG min., rated 300 V min., provided with a hospital-grade type plug 5-15P configuration for 120V application, or 6-15P for 240V application. 2. Plug one end of the power cord into the rear of the display (connector LIN[...]

Installation 16 Important considerations • The best environment for diagnostic imaging is one with controlled and dimmed ambient light. The human eye's sensitivity depends on the ambient light strength. It is most sensitive to small contrast changes (or subtle image details) at limited ambient light levels. • The best ambient light level, [...]

Operation 17 3. OPERATION: USER CONTROLS Important : The best way to adjust and control the display is by using MediCal, which displays the ideal test patterns for correct adjustment. However, in case you do not dispose of MediCal, you can control and adjust the display by means of the built-in On-Screen Display (OSD). 3.1 Switching on / off Power [...]

Operation 18 3.2 Contrast and brightness control Contrast and brightness can be controlled through the OSD menus. To activate the OSD Turn the control knob {4} from left to right or from right to left. As a result, the OSD main menu appears. Note: The control knob should turn over at least 30 degrees before the OSD becomes visible. Contrast - Contr[...]

Operation 19 To control contrast manually 1 Turn the control knob to select Contrast in the OSD main menu. 2 Press the control knob shortly. The contrast control menu appears. 3 In the contrast control menu, select Manual contrast adjustment and press the control knob shortly. The contrast scroll bar appears. 4 Turn the control knob until you have [...]

Advanced 22 4. ADVANCED SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS (FOR SERVICE STAFF ONLY) Important: The functions and controls described in this chapter can have a serious impact on the performance of the display. They should be touched by trained service staff only! 4.1 Settings SETTINGS INFORMATION - LUC OFF - ALC OFF - Orbiter OFF - Power save ON - Display add[...]

Advanced 23 Explanation of the Settings menu items LUC: LUC is short for Luminance Uniformity Control. When switched on, the internal waveform processor will modulate the gain of the video amplifier so that the luminance is equal all over the screen (within a tolerance of +/- 5%). The LUC system can be calibrated in the Adjustments menu (see furthe[...]

Advanced 26 Interlacing - Pre correction In most cases you do not need to change this adjustment. You may need to increase this adjustment only when the connected video and sync signal contains an abnormally big number of equalization pulses before the vertical sync (more than 8 lines), resulting in a phase error (geometry distortion) at the bottom[...]

Maintenance 32 5. MAINTENANCE Picture tube The glass panel of the picture tube is handled with a special coating. Take care not to damage or scratch the coating. Clean the picture tube with a soft woolen or cotton cloth. The cloth should be moist, not wet! Use a watery solution or a mild commercial glass cleaning solution. Apply (e.g., spray) the s[...]

Troubleshooting 33 6. TROUBLESHOOTING There appears no image on the picture tube, the green LED at the rear is out • Check if the power cord is properly connected to the power outlet and to the display. • Check if the power button is switched on. There appears no image, the green LED is on The display is switched in Stand-by, manually or by the[...]

Background information 34 APPENDIX A: BACKGROUND INFORMATION Luminance Uniformity Correction A characteristic (or limitation) of every picture tube (CRT) is that the luminance decreases towards the edge of the screen surface. The decrease is normally 20 to 30 %. This is caused by the shape of the picture tube. Inside the CRT, a so- called electron [...]

Background information 35 When you leave the computer idle for a longer period, the imaging board now delivers horizontal sync only. As a result, the display's micro controller switches off a number of internal circuits. The power consumption has now dropped with about 42 %. At last, the imaging board delivers no sync signals at all, and the m[...]
