1. WELCOME!
Introduction
Thank you for choosing this Nio Color 5MP!
Nio Color 5MP is a 5.8 megapixel highbright display system that is color-calibrated and uniformity cor-
rected, providing excellent image quality for confident diagnoses for medical images including mammog-
raphy and breast tomosynthesis. With both accurate SteadyColor™ and DICOM-calibrated grays (500
cd/m2 for at least five years) you discern even the tiniest detail even after many years of use.
The versatile high-resolution color solution on the market
The Nio Color 5MP offers the excellent image quality for gray and color images used in general radiology
as well 2D and 3D mammography. Its high brightness and high contrast ratio enable you to unveil even
the subtlest details and make accurate diagnoses. The unique 5.8 megapixel format of 2100 columns and
2800 rows shows more pixels on medical images compared to previously available 5MP displays that only
have 2560 rows.
With the integrated smart features, you can easily take control and improve your productivity. SpotView™,
for example, allows you to focus on an area of interest to unveil even more details. And with DimView™,
any auxiliary displays can be automatically dimmed.
The Nio Color 5MP is also an excellent solution for radiologists who want to angle their desktop: it lets you
choose your preferred viewing angle and offers a highly ergonomic display configuration. It’s also possible
to switch between Clear base and Blue base viewing modes on-the-fly. Whether to suit the image type or
to change to different reading preferences, you decide which color you want and when.
Stable image quality, durable investment
Using Barco’s integrated front sensor, the Nio Color 5MP works perfectly with Barco’s online MediCal
QAWeb solution for automated Quality Assurance and calibration. QAWeb guarantees stable DICOM
images throughout the display’s lifetime.
By default, Barco displays are equipped with an integrated glass cover to safeguard your investment.
Thanks to the highperformance LED backlights, the Nio Color 5MP has a positive impact on both main-
tenance and operational costs.
Ultimate peace of mind
Barco is the only company that provides complete system solutions, from display and controllers to work-
flow tools and calibration via QAWeb. All components are covered by our full 5 year warranty.
At product release, Barco extensively tests the displays compatibility with all major PACS applications.

2. Installation
2. INSTALLATION
Prior to installing your Nio Color 5MP and connecting all necessary cables, make sure to
have a suitable display controller physically installed in your computer. If you are using
a Barco display controller, please consult the user guide delivered with it to do this.
For a list of compatible display controllers, please refer to the latest version of the com-
patibility matrix available on my.barco.com (MyBarco > My Support > Healthcare > Com-
patibility Matrices > Barco Systems Compatibility Matrices).

3. DAILY OPERATION
3.1 Recommendations for daily operation
Optimize the lifetime of your display
Enabling the Display Power Management System (DPMS) of your display will optimize its diagnostic life-
time by automatically switching off the backlight when the display is not used for a specified period of time.
By default, DPMS is enabled on your display, but it also needs to be activated on your workstation. To do
this, go to “Power Options Properties” in the “Control Panel”.
Barco recommends setting DPMS activation after 20 minutes of non-usage.
Use a screen saver to avoid image retention
Prolonged operation of an LCD with the same content on the same screen area may result in a form of
image retention.
You can avoid or significantly reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon by using a screen saver. You
can activate a screen saver in the “Display properties” window of your workstation.
Barco recommends setting screen saver activation after 5 minutes of non-usage. A
good screen saver displays moving content.
In case you are working with the same image or an application with static image elements for several hours
continuously (so that the screen saver is not activated), change the image content regularly to avoid image
retention of the static elements.
Understand pixel technology
LCD displays use technology based on pixels. As a normal tolerance in the manufacturing of the LCD, a
limited number of these pixels may remain either dark or permanently lit, without affecting the diagnostic
performance of the product. To ensure optimal product quality, Barco applies strict selection criteria for its
LCD panels.
To learn more about LCD technology and missing pixels, consult the dedicated white
papers available at www.barco.com/healthcare.
Enhance user comfort
Every Barco multi-head display system is color matched with the highest specifications in the market.
Barco recommends keeping color-matched displays together. Furthermore, it is impor-
tant to use all displays of a multi-head configuration at the same rate to preserve color
matching throughout the economic lifetime of the system.

3. Daily operation
Maximize quality assurance
The ’MediCal QAWeb’ system offers online service for high-grade Quality Assurance, providing maximum
diagnostic confidence and uptime.
Barco recommends to install MediCal QAWeb Agent and apply the default QAWeb policy
at least. This policy includes calibration on regular intervals. Connecting to MediCal
QAWeb Server offers even more possibilities.
Learn more and sign up for the free MediCal QAWeb Essential level at
www.barco.com/QAWeb.
3.2 Key indicator lights
About the key indicator lights
By default, the indicator lights of the keys will be dimmed which makes the keys unavailable at that mo-
ment. To make the keys illuminate and available for further actions touch one of the keys. As a result, all
keys will be illuminated and are now available for further actions. However, if no further actions are taken
within the following 5 seconds, the keys will dim again.
The key auto-dim function can be disabled in the OSD menus. Please refer to "Key in-
dicator lights", page 18 for detailed instructions on how to do this.
3.3 Standby switching
About standby switching
The connected power supply also provides a switch that can be used to turn the power
completely off. To use the display, please make sure to switch on this power supply.
This can be done by pushing the on/off switch on the power supply into the “│” position.
Switching on the display while it is in standby mode or vice versa can be done by:
1. Illuminate the keys as previously described.
2. While the keys are illuminated, touch the standby key for approximately 2 seconds.
As a result, the display will switch on or will switch to standby mode.
In case of a power outage recovery, your display will always start-up in the power mode
it was in before the power interruption (i.e. standby or on). This protects your display
against inadvertent image retention problems.
