1. OVERVIEW  
1.1 Introduction  
The MFCD 1218, BARCO’s full color 18” LCD  
display, guarantees perfect image quality in  
medical imaging applications.  
The display combines a TFT (thin film transistor)  
liquid crystal display panel structure and a built-in  
backlight with inverter for a better picture quality. It  
is designed to meet users' needs for performance,  
consistency, and outstanding image quality  
through a streamlined development process in  
which wall-mount functionality provides a variety  
of capability.  
The image on the display can be adjusted by  
means of the extended on-screen menu system  
(OSD).  
The internal memory can contain settings for 24  
different types of video signals (with different  
timings). 22 are factory-preset, 2 are user-  
definable.  
The display accepts the most common display  
standards. However, it is limited to the following  
specifications: The horizontal frequency must be  
between 31 and 91 kHz, the vertical frequency  
between 56 and 85 Hz, and the maximum  
resolution is 1280 x 1024.  
Multi-scan  
capabilities  
The optimum and recommended resolution is  
1280 x 1024 / 60 Hz.  
The monitor comes with a power saving feature;  
therefore, you may put the monitor into a power  
saving state when it is not in use. This feature  
complies with both EPA‘s Energy Star  
Power Saving  
requirements and European NUTEK/TCO’s power  
management guidelines. It conforms to Video  
Electronics Standard Association (VESA)  
approved DPMS power-down signaling method.  
This monitor automatically cuts down power  
consumption of monitor set when not detecting  
Hsync or Vsync signals. This feature is compliant  
with VESA DPMS.

2. INSTALLATION  
2.1 Precautions  
Keep your original packaging. It is designed  
for this display and is the ideal protection  
during transport.  
Avoid reflections in the flat panel to reduce  
eye strain.  
Place the display on a strong and stable  
table or desk.  
Keep the display away from heat sources  
and provide enough ventilation in case it is  
built in a rack or console.  
Make sure computer and display are  
switched off before connecting the signals.  
2.2 Wall mounting  
You can mount the panel to the wall instead of to  
the foot, by means of the supplied mounting plate.  
If you do not need to mount the panel to the wall,  
please skip this item.

cable to the corresponding video input of the  
monitor.  
Analog video: Connect to input (2)  
S-Video: Connect to input (4)  
DVI: Connect to input (3)  
2
Connect the other end of the video cable to  
the video output of your video source.  
Analog video: Computer graphics board with  
analog video output  
S-Video: E.g., S-VHS video player  
DVI: Computer graphics board with digital  
video output

2.4 Starting up  
Proceed as follows:  
1
2
Switch on the computer.  
Switch on the display by pushing the Power  
key (9).  
3
If necessary, select a suitable resolution in  
the computer operating system. Please refer  
to Appendix A, "Possible resolutions" in the  
back of this manual.  
Note: The recommended resolution for best  
image quality is 1280x1024 at 60 Hz.  
The microcontroller in the display checks if the  
connected video signal has been adjusted before,  
and if these adjustments have been stored in the  
memory. There are 2 possibilities:  
(9)  
a) The video signal has been adjusted and  
stored in the memory.  
In this case, the display switches to this memory  
location (the so-called mode) and the image will  
need no further adjustments.  
b) The video signal has not been adjusted and  
stored yet.  
In this case, the display will auto-size the picture  
and store the settings in one of the user modes.  
2.5 Install the DICOM Optimizer software  
Proceed as follows:  
Install the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. The  
CD-ROM starts automatically. Please follow the  
instructions on the screen.  
The CD-ROM contains user instructions about the  
usage of the DICOM Optimizer.
