INTRODUCTION
About the system
Barco’s diagnostic display solutions are known for their image quality,
fidelity and consistency.
Building upon its wide expertise in medical imaging and high-end
projectors, Barco has expanded its LCD and CRT display solutions
with a DICOM-compliant projection system, DICOM THEATER®. The
world’s first large screen medical Imaging system, DICOM THEATER®
provides consistent image quality for consulting, reviewing and
training applications. The system offers a turnkey solution, bundling
high-bright medical grade projector, flat panel display, dedicated
BARCOMED®grayscale imaging board and MEDICAL®PRO QA
management software. DICOM THEATER®is available in single- and
dualheadconfigurations.
DICOM THEATER®facilitates consulting and reviewing: this ceiling-
mount medical projection system combines ClearBase and BlueBase
modes, has a user-friendly remote control and features versatile
connectivity to add a multitude of both color and grayscale application
sources, including PACS, X-ray, ultrasound, endoscopy, ... DICOM
THEATER®features I-GUARD®, Barco’s real-time optical calibration
tool for consistent and continuous DICOM compliant viewing, with no
need for user intervention.
About the separate components
The BarcoMed 2MP1HP imaging board generates the images for the
display and the projector. It is a dual-head board: It has two video
outputs, so it can send video signals to two different display devices.
Both video outputs deliver the same signal, so that the same image
can be viewed on both projector and display. However, both heads
have separate Lookup Tables (LUTs), so that the display curve or
Preset can be defined and stabilized separately for both display
devices.
The MGP 10 projector is used for projecting the medical images on a
large screen. It has multiple inputs, so it can also be used to display
other images, like presentations. Calibration and stabilization is done
by using the external optical sensor, which is installed at the side of the
large screen.
The LCD display is used as review display in the Dicom Theater
system. Calibration and stabilization of the display is done by means

System manual DICOM Theater 11
of the I-Guard®optical sensor, incorporated in the bezel of the display.
The MediCal Pro software is used for defining the Preset the display
devices must be conform to and calibrate them to make them conform
to the Preset.
The Dicom Theater software is a systray tool normally operating in
background. With the aid of the external optical sensor, this piece of
software ensures the stabilization of the projector. In addition, you can
use the Dicom Theater software to control some of the projector’s
functions.
