Calibration and adjustments

Power saving system

The conformity calibration, as well as the complete adjustment of the display, can be performed by means of the remote, user-friendly MediCal® software package. MediCal, which runs under Microsoft Windows NT, is especially developed to adjust and check BARCO’s medical displays.

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.

The MGD 2621 P 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 several steps. The power saving system can be switched on or off during the installation or adjustment of the display.

This system requires a computer imaging board that supports power saving management.

Important: It is absolutely necessary that the impedances of imaging board and display are the same. If not, the image quality will be inferior.

The MediCal software and the X-Rite DTP92 sensor are not delivered with the display.

MediCal can be ordered separately.
