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.
