Display Defaults

Display recommended

The out-of-the-box behavior of QAWeb Enterprise depends on the recommended behavior of the display model. Each display model has a number of recommendations how the equipment should be used within it’s clinical use case. By default, QAWeb Enterprise sets the display up using these recommended values.

Redefine the display defaults

Diverting the default behavior of the display is usually accomplished using a custom calibration policy. Here one needs to define a custom luminance level and/or white/black point chromaticity. Since policies are use-based, this defines the custom behavior for all display models within the uses defined by the policy.

See Calibration.

Another option is to redefine the default values of the display model. This can be interesting if your use case requires to operate the display outside of the recommended behavior.

Note

The recommended values of each display model can be found in the Specifications of the display.

Redefine the display defaults can be done by specifying customized values in a file located in C:\ProgramData\Barco\disw\displaydefaults.ini

[display model]
luminanceRange=...
recommendedLuminance=...

; (Mentioning 1 of the below is sufficient.)
; as comma-separated list of color temperature identifiers
colorTemperatureRange=... ; supported: bluebase, clearbase, D65, D75, native
; as range in kelvin (pair)
colorTemperatureRange=... ; eg 5000, 7000
; as corners of a box in x and y
colorTemperatureRange=... ; eg 0.29, 0.35, 0.31, 0.34
recommendedColorTemperature=... ; supported: bluebase, clearbase, D65, D75, native

Example to override the defaults of the MDMC-12133 where the default luminance is adjusted from its default of 1000 cd/m² to 600 cd/m².

[MDMC-12133]
luminanceRange=600, 1200
recommendedLuminance=600
colorTemperatureRange=bluebase, clearbase
recommendedColorTemperature=clearbase

The values in this file will replace the recommended values. When the calibration foresees to calibrate the display on the recommended target, the values in the displaydefaults.ini file will be used instead.

Note

Barco recommends to use a custom policy to use the display outside of the recommended values. To use a file will require you to maintain this file per workstation.
