BARCOMED CORONIS display controller installation
BarcoMed PCI Express® Controllers
During the first quarter of 2006 Barco Medical Imaging Systems added PCI Express (PCIe) versions of its Coronis and Coronis 5MP display controllers to its grayscale Medical Imaging Display Systems product line. The PCIe versions of these boards will have the same features as the currently shipping PCI version.
All three PCIe boards will feature a x8 logical bus on a x8 physical connector. They have been designed to function in PCI Express x8 or x16 slots. Optimum performance will always be obtained by installing them in a PCIe x8 slot. Depending on your PC manufacturer’s implementation of the logic for the PCIe x16 slot optimum performance may also be obtained by installing the Barco PCIe boards in the PCIe x16 slot.
Connecting your Barco displays to your BarcoMed PCIe board is identical to connecting them to a BarcoMed PCI board (please refer to your system manual for details).
