Installation 11
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 video signals.
Unlike the video signals, it is possible to daisy-
chain the serial data bus. This means you can
control different displays from one PC.
To connect the data signals:
1. Connect one end of the serial data cable to
one of the PC’s COM ports. If the COM port
has a 25-pin connector, you will need to use a
D25-to-D9 interface connector. The cable
and the interface connector are both supplied
with MediCal.
2. Connect the other end of the serial data cable
to the Remote In connector {5} on the
display’s rear panel.
3. For a daisy-chain application, connect the
Remote Out connector {4} of the first display
to the Remote In connector {5} of the next
display.
Connection of datasignalsConnection of anoptical sensor
To calibrate the display, connect the optical
sensor to the Sensor connector {1} at the front or
on the rear panel.
Notes:
• The display supports the DTP 92 from X-Rite
as optical sensor.
• The optical sensor is not supplied by BARCO.
• Calibration can be done by means of MediCal
only.
•Always use the Ambient Light Shield
during calibration.
