5.25 Video encoding m od es
Your Coronis Fusion 6MP display automatically detects the connected video input sig-
nals and applies the correct video encoding settings. Manually selecting a video encod-
ing mode is possible, but then your display’s image source selection mode should be
set to allow this. Please refer to "Image source selection modes", page 30 to do this.
About video encoding modes
Video encoding modes specify how the color and luminance information is encoded in the video signal. In
consumer displays, this is usually done by a limited 8-bit encoding mechanism. Your Coronis Fusion 6MP
however, features 10-bit encoding enabling it to better match the DICOM defined grayscale range. Such
an extensive range is necessary to comply with the guidelines set forward by the latest medical guidelines.
The available video encoding modes for your display are listed below.
Please note that the display controller connected to your display might not always sup-
port all these video encoding modes.
Standard
This mode uses the standard 8 bit encoding
mechanism.
HDR1
This mode features 10-bit video encoding following
the High Dynamic Range (HDR) standard, usually
used on color displays.
HDR2 HDR2 i s a Barco specific mode featuring 10-bit
video encoding following the High Dynamic Range
(HDR) standard but allowing full refresh rate (which
is not always possible with HDR1). This mode is
usually used on color displays.
Dual 10 (only with Barco display controller) Dual 10 is a Barco specific 10-bit video encoding
mode which is usually used on grayscale displays
and which allows full refresh rate.
Automatic
When selecting this option, your Coronis Fu
sion
6MP will automatically assign the correct video
encoding settings to the connected video input
signals.

1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Image Sources > (Left/Right) Image Source menu.
3. Enter the Video Encoding submenu.
4. Select one of the available video encoding modes and confirm.
