4.15 Continuous Ambient Light Compensation
(ALC)
About Continuous ALC
Enabling continuous ALC will continuously recalculate the DICOM display function taking the averaged
ambient light, as measured by the integrated ambient light sensor, into account.
Continuous ALC can only be enabled on your display when the display function is set to DICOM.
Please refer to
“ Display functions ” , page 30 .
To select continuous ALC:
1. Bring up the OSD main menu.
2. Navigate to the Configuration > Calibration > Ambient Light menu.
3. Enter the Continuous ALC submenu.
4. Select Enabled/Disabled as desired and confirm.
4.16 Embedded QA
4.16.1 About Embedded QA
About
Embedded QA allows you to run a DICOM display calibration or DICOM compliance test directly from the
display using the OSD menus described in the next sections. Embedded QA will use the front sensor to
measure the necessary luminance levels for either a DICOM calibration or DICOM compliance test. Various
settings for both actions can be selected from the display
’ s OSD menu. The last results of both actions can be
consulted from the OSD.
When reading digital pathology images on the MDPC-8127, sRGB or Native are the recommended
display functions. DICOM is an option, however this display function might be less relevant for your
purposes.
4.16.2 DICOM status report
About DICOM status report
Following information is available:
DICOM Compliance Status (status since last compliance check)
• Compliance status: Shows if the current DICOM curve is compliant or not.
• Maximum error: Shows the maximum error of the current DICOM curve. This is the deviation compared to
a perfect DICOM.
• Error threshold: Shows the error threshold. This is the maximum error allowed before a DICOM
calibration is required.
• Time elapsed since latest compliance check: Shows the backlight runtime since last compliance check.
• Display Function: Shows the current display function.
• Ambient light compensation: Shows the ambient light compensation status.
• Reading Room: Shows the selected reading room.
• Luminance: Shows the measured luminance.
