Projecting an Image in the SX7 MarkII DICOM SIM Mode
In the DICOM simulation mode (hereinafter referred to as “DICOM SIM”), this projector can
project a monochrome medical image such as an X ray radiography, CT image, MRI image,
etc. in the tone similar to the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine)
standard. Typically, to project the image according to the DICOM standard, it requires the
grayscale tone correction using a luminance meter according to the environment. In this
projector, there are 21 types of tone settings for various ambient lights. You can correct the
tone in a simplified manner by selecting a test pattern that is displayed appropriately.
It is suited to project an image in a medical lecture, academic conference, in-hospital con-
ference, etc.
Important: This projector is not the display monitor for a medical image. It cannot be used
for the radiological image reading or medical examination.
• It is recommended to check the tone everytime when using this projector since it does
not have the tone correction and calibration functions against the secular change.
• It may take approximately 30 minutes until the projection brightness of this projector
becomes stabled.

[>] Press this button to brighten the image.
Use this setting if no adequate contrast is
achieved.
[<] Press this button to darken the image.
Use this setting if excessive contrast is
achieved due to the low ambient light.
• Use your image as the QC test pat-
tern for the gamma setting.
• Perform one of the followings to obtain
an appropriate projection if you can-
not project the
test pattern under
any settings:
- Darken the ambient light
- Reduce the image size
- Reduce the projection distance
• It is recommended to select [DIGITAL
PC] as the input signal.
• In the DICOM SIM mode, the
[D.ZOOM] and [FREEZE] buttons are
disabled.
• Make sure not to use the mouse oper-
ation function with the remote control-
ler (refer to P78 of User's Manual) in
the DICOM SIM mode because the
shortcut and button operations in
[Gamma] are overlapped.
