Video encoding modes
A
BOUT 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 C
ORONIS F USION 10MP
display 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.
Your C ORONIS F USION 10MP display automatically detects the
connected video input signals and applies the correct video
encoding settings. Manually selecting a video encoding 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” on page 36 to do this.
Please note that the display controller connected to your
display might not always support 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 is 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.
