Video encoding modes

ABOUT VIDEO ENCODING MODES

Your CORONIS FUSION 10MP display automatically detects the connected video input signals and applies the correct video encoding settings. Manually selecting a video encoding mode is possible, but then your display’s image source selection mode should be set to allow this. Please refer to “Image source selection modes” on page 36 to do this.

Video encoding modes specify how the color and luminance information is encoded in the video signal. In consumer displays, this is usually done by a limited 8-bit encoding mechanism. Your CORONIS FUSION 10MP display however, features 10-bit encoding enabling it to better match the DICOM defined grayscale range. Such an extensive range is necessary to comply with the guidelines set forward by the latest medical guidelines.

The available video encoding modes for your display are listed below.

Please note that the display controller connected to your display might not always support all these video encoding modes.

Standard	This mode uses the standard 8 bit encoding
	mechanism.
HDR1	This mode features 10-bit video encoding
	following the High Dynamic Range (HDR)
	standard, usually used on color displays.
HDR2	HDR2 is a Barco specific mode featuring
	10-bit video encoding following the High
	Dynamic Range (HDR) standard but
	allowing full refresh rate (which is not
	always possible with HDR1). This mode is
	usually used on color displays.
