Application 0

This high-resolution color display is specifically designed to meet the rigorous perfor-
mance standards needed for interventional diagnostic radiology and other medical appli-
cations. To guarantee image integrity, features include accurate signal conversion and a
wide range of interfacing options.

Important features 0

The display has the following features which permit a wide range of applications:

Compact design
Low weight and small size with improved performance make the color flat panel display
HL1916 preferable to conventional CRT monitors.

Perfect picture reproduction resulting from LCD technology

The color flat panel display provides flicker-free pictures even with low refresh rates (60
Hz). The color flat panel display HL1916 is therefore suitable even for maximum ergo-
nomic requirements.

Modification of shades of gray setting

In medical applications (e.g. for X-rays, scanners and nuclear spin tomography) where
pictures are usually displayed in shades of gray, the gray values can be adapted to the
user's eye: this display adaptation, called calibration, is available out of the box (fac-
tory-calibrated display). This monitor is factory-calibrated to meet DICOM part 3.14 com-
pliance and Gamma CIE at the factory set point. Furthermore, 5 different settings (Look
Up Table – LUT) are stored within the display. To switch to other LUTs, please refer to the
service personnel, who will access the on-screen display (OSD – service level 2).

Screen resolution
The color flat panel display HL1916 is equipped with an active 19" TFT display module
which provides a very wide viewing angle. The flat panel display is equipped with a 19"
TFT display module which provides for a very wide viewing angle.(Super In Plane switch-
ing technology). The optimal picture resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels. Video signals with
other resolutions typical to medical engineering are optimally zoomed in or out to the
screen size.

RGB input (15-pin Sub-D and DVI-D)

The display is connected to the computer system using either the 15-pin Sub-D connector
or the DVI-D connector. Adaptation of the display is performed using an OSD, if neces-
sary.

Fast backlight stability

The luminance stabilization circuit employs a built-in photo sensor to keep the backlight
lamps at a constant luminance for consistent calibration over the life of the display. It can
also control the back light system automatically to extend the life of the monitor and
achieve very short warm-up times.

Fine protection
The surface of the monitor has an anti-glare coating to minimize reflection and a hard
coating to reduce scratches.

Fig. 9: Cable attaching_7

The cables attached are especially designed for the stand. Connector P1 is used to con-
nect to the monitor. The length of the cable from the connector to the magnetic ring fits
exactly into the base of the stand.
15-pin Sub-D connector: the flat panel display can be connected to the computer system
using the Sub-D connector. The display is adapted using an OSD menu.
DVI connection: The connection to the computer can be established via the digital single
link or via the analog channel of the DVI connection. The picture quality, noise immunity
and radiated interference of the complete system depend on the cable quality and length.
Subsequently, put the VGA and power cable into the left side of the stand as seen from
the back. The VGA cable is optional. The cable should cross the front slot and exit from
the hole in back of the stand. Put the magnetic ring into the side slot. The magnetic ring
should be put in the center of the slot. Ensure that the monitor can be raised and lowered
without difficulties.

Adjustments for video 1.7

Picture adjustment 0

This section describes the settings for operating the flat panel display with a video source.
The most important settings are:
Adjusting the graphics memory of the video source
As with all monitors, the flat panel display has certain limits, e.g. maximum resolution and
vertical frequency. When using the flat panel display, the graphics adapter has to be set to
ensure that the limits are observed.
Fine adjustment of the flat panel display

NOTE Fine adjustment of the flat panel display can only be performed
via the analog port 15-pin SUB-D. The digital input (DVI-D) does
not require a fine adjustment since the display signal is always
optimal.

RGB picture sources via 15-pin Sub-D connector supply analog signals which are basi-
cally intended for conventional CRT monitors and processed directly by them.
In contrast, analog signals for a flat panel display have to be converted into digital signals
by a video digitizer. Depending on the picture source, cable length and video mode (e.g.
VGA, SVGA, XGA) this conversion may cause certain deviations which cannot be cor-
rected fully automatically by the flat panel display. A manual fine adjustment is therefore
necessary during which the flat panel display (or, more precisely, the video digitizer) is
matched to the respective video source. The fine adjustment comprises e.g. setting the
horizontal/vertical picture position and the picture sharpness. This is performed for the flat
panel color display HL1916 via the OSD menu.

To optimize the display settings for the installed graphic board, and to ensure all gray lev-
els are distinguishable, we recommend to adjust the brightness and contrast levels for and
only for analog inputs. Note that the calibration (in the Look Up Table) is not changed by
these adjustments (all the monitors are and remain factory-calibrated):
Using a 100% black picture and an appropriate measurement device (a spotmeter is rec-
ommended), decrease the brightness level using the OSD controls until the measurement
device displays a constant level (i.e. the measured value no longer changes). Once this is
achieved, increase the brightness level slightly until the display is just above the absolute
lowest black level (one step is generally sufficient).
Similarly, set the white level using a 100%-white test pattern and the measurement
device. Only the contrast level should be adjusted to ensure that the black level remains
unchanged.

TFT Monitor TD00-000.841.23.01.02 Page 28 of 68 Siemens AG

06.06 CS SD 24 Medical Solutions
General 19” Color TFT Display (Torch Bigtide) 29

• Check again to ensure tht the black value has not changed. In case it did, you need to
duplicate the two previous steps until it no longer changes (cause: pedestal).
Increase the contrast level until the measurement device no longer detects an increase in
luminance. Once this is achieved, decrease the contrast level slightly (1 or 2 steps is gen-
erally sufficient).
At this point, the display is configured for optimal performance with the installed graphic
board. If your are not satisfied with the luminance level, the black and white levels can be
further increased by adjusting the backlight level in the OSD menu. Please note that
higher backlight level settings tend to reduce the stability of luminance over time.

Optimum picture quality 0

In order to achieve an optimum picture quality, the flat panel color display HL1916 should
be operated with a graphics resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels (settings for graphics card in
the PC).
When adjusting the picture position and size, ensure that the picture appears exactly on
the active surface of the display and that it is not offset by even one pixel. For example, if
the horizontal position is offset by one step to the right, the right-hand edge of the picture
will disappear, and a black pixel column will appear at the left-hand edge. The effect is
similar for an offset to the left, top or bottom. If the vertical lines are still slightly fuzzy,
adjust the setting "Frequency/phase" (see Section "Description of the menus").

Remarks:
1. The calibration will be performed with the help of the graphics card with VESA Timing,
1280x1024x60Hz (reference timing via the DVI-D input (digital input source). Gamma
calibration will be device-specific with the help of a diagnostic program (see above).
2. The calibration for analog input signals is performed for VESA 1280x1024, 60Hz timing.
3. For other timings: Have a look at the timing schedule located in the costumer specifica-
tions.
4. All luminance measurements will be performed with the help of Chroma 7120 after 30
min. of warm-up delay (or another spotmeter of specific accuracy).

Multi-standard technology Video modes with resolutions of less than 1280 x 1024
can be expanded to the TFT resolution, and, as a result,
utilize the full display area (like multi-sync CRTs). In the
same way, resolutions higher than 1280 x 1024 can be
reduced and then displayed. (Caution: if the timing is
frame buffered or frame synchronized, image information
may get lost; the gray levels - the color depth for color
images - will also be reduced and may be visible)
